SNAGG's unique secure RFID system enables owners of precious antiques and other priceless personal property items the peace of mind their valuables are protected by a state of the art theft deterrent system with an enhanced property recovery system if their personal property is ever lost or stolen.
Musical instruments and other valuable assets enabled with SNAGG protection gain a built-in deterrence against theft, loss, and fraudulent reproduction.
SNAGG provides antique owners with a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology micro-chip. The RFID Chip acts as a deterrent for would be thieves who know it would be extremely difficult to pawn or sell an antique that has been securely fitted with a SNAGG Micro-chip in addition to the fact it would increase the fact they would be identified as the thieves and subject to prosecution.
How does SNAGG work?
When a customer purchases a SNAGG-enabled musical instrument or other asset, s/he registers the instrument at the SNAGG website for free - it's that simple.
Antique owners without SNAGG protection may purchase a SNAGG retrofit kit that can be installed by them, or an antiques specialist. The SNAGG retrofit is a simple operation that will not alter the value, appearance, or quality of your valuable asset in any way - as the SNAGG Microchip is embedded inside your antique or other valuable asset. A modest fee will be charged by your antique specialist to install the SNAGG Microchip.
Owners of SNAGG-enabled instruments are able to access their musical assets on SNAGG's secure website. Changes to customer data in the SNAGG database may only be made by registered customers.
Law Enforcement officials are able to access a special section of the SNAGG website to recover details about reported stolen assets ONLY at the request of a registered SNAGG customer. No other access to the SNAGG database is permitted, under any circumstance.
The cooperation of Law Enforcement and related private property protection organizations is a key element in the SNAGG recovery system. SNAGG has enlisted the advice of the California State 2nd Hand Dealer Investigators Association (CSDIA); the National Association of Property Recovery Investigators (NAPRI); and, the FBI's Art Fraud Division in the design of its asset registry.
RFID Integration Services
SNAGG also provides RFID-based integration services for supply chain, logistics, inventory control, and/or materials handling systems for musical instrument and other valuable asset manufacturers.
