For enterprises

Need product identity? We do that too.

The Ideal Code scales beyond QR codes. Register physical products, verify authenticity, and track supply chains with TIC — a unique identifier for every item you make.

TIC-P-0049000042566
Scan URL: ideal.bio/plato
TIC-P Product TIC-B Book TIC-E Entity TIC-C Creator

One identifier. Every system.

TIC replaces fragmented standards like UPC, ISBN, and ITIN with a single, intelligent identifier. Each code carries metadata, verification history, and a scannable short link.

Works with QR codes, NFC chips, and barcodes
Each scan verified against the global registry
Unique short URL via ideal.bio for consumer access
Supports products, books, entities, and creators

Why switch

Why legacy codes fall short.

Traditional identifiers were designed for inventory, not intelligence. The Ideal Code adds verification, analytics, and branding to every code.

For developers

Register and verify with three lines of code

RESTful API, SDKs in 8 languages, and webhooks for real-time scan events. Free tier includes 1,000 verifications per month.

register_product.py
import idealcode

client = idealcode.Client("sk_live_...")

product = client.products.register({
    "name": "Artisan Olive Oil 500ml",
    "category": "food_beverage",
    "origin": "Tuscany, Italy",
    "batch": "2025-Q4-0891",
})

# → TIC-P-0049000042566

# → QR + NFC codes generated

verification = client.verify.check(
    "TIC-P-0049000042566"
)
