Introduction

Gold financing companies handle thousands of gold ornaments daily as collateral for loans. Managing purity verification, secure storage, inventory accuracy, and customer trust is critical. Traditional manual tracking methods are prone to errors, delays, and security risks.

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology offers a smart, automated, and highly secure solution for gold financing companies to manage pledged gold efficiently and transparently.

Challenges Faced by Gold Financing Companies

• Manual entry errors during gold loan processing

• Difficulty in tracking pledged gold ornaments

• Risk of gold mismatch or misplacement

• Time-consuming audits and branch reconciliation

• Limited visibility across multiple branches

• Theft and internal pilferage risks

Each gold ornament pledged by a customer is tagged with a secure RFID jewellery tag linked to loan and customer details in the system.

• RFID Jewellery Tags (tamper-resistant)
