DataDot has a range of products with features that assist in identifying fraudulent activities through the identification of stolen assets, which then allows for the return of stolen goods to their rightful owners along with the potential prosecution of those involved. DataDot SA has been the first, in many instances, to introduce these microdot. products to the market.
DataDot was founded by an entrepreneur with a need to help curb crime in South Africa. Vehicle theft and hijackings were on the increase and the discovery of a tiny microdot with unique identifiers that could give a vehicle its own DNA seemed a sure thing. A small office was opened in George in the Western Cape in 2001 but it would take two years of hard work, sweat and a great deal of persistence and belief in our product – the DataDot Microdot – before our first client – Avis – forged ahead and applied microdots to their fleet of vehicles. Not only did Avis realise a drop in theft, but also an increase in recovery of over 50% in both cases.
