iSPY X microchip and software database system is the solution to identify, authenticate and protect extreme equipment in any situation. Connect with manufacturers, retailers and athletes, while securing your investments.
Definition
The iSPY system is a unique footprint placed on products that can benefit from permanent identification, authentication and protection. The iSPY X microchip has a unique number that can not be altered and is linked to you and your board once activated. Each iSPY X microchip has a corresponding ID tag number, which is displayed with the iSPY X logo on each product. This can help deter thieves and gives the athlete the power to take control of their investments. The ID tag can be placed on your key chain to have immediate access to an iSPY X system representative and your account. The iSPY X system software and database program connects sport communities to develop open communication between manufacturers, retailers, athletes, event management, resorts and police. By connecting these communities, people will become more proactive in preserving and building their sport.
