Test Purchasing

Concerns over the honesty of staff that operate tills or supply goods to customers can be checked out by a series of "test" transactions made by our experienced staff.

In addition to being able to target known problem areas, Auto Intelligence can also carry out regular routine test purchasing. This provides our clients with an ongoing source of information regarding the efficiency and attitude of their staff.

We regularly conduct test purchases on behalf of brand owners which are carried out from a variety of sales outlets ranging from shops and wholesalers to car boot sales, markets and increasingly on line auction sites. The results of which often provide the evidential basis to larger scale anti-counterfeiting and brand infringement operations by official authorities. Auto Intelligence understands the importance of properly presented evidential packages when dealing with law enforcement agencies.

It is not only the production of counterfeits that has become more inventive, the supply and distribution is becoming equally resourceful.

So whether you are at risk from counterfeiters, the impropriety of staff or are seeking competitive intelligence , test purchasing can provide an important tool.
