WICOVA Passport
A unique digital identity for every physical product. Activation, provenance, burn history, remaining life, care and authentication in one place, owned by the customer.
Platform
WICOVA gives a physical product an identity, a memory and a voice. Three layers share one symbol and one set of rules, from the tag under the lid to the dashboard on a brand's desk.
Three layers
Sub-brands never get their own symbols. Each is WICOVA, with a descriptor.
A unique digital identity for every physical product. Activation, provenance, burn history, remaining life, care and authentication in one place, owned by the customer.
Computer vision that reads a photograph of a burning candle: melt pool, wick, tunnelling and soot, with one clear recommendation.
Behavioural fragrance intelligence for customers and real-world product performance for brands, aggregated by product, batch and fragrance.
Connected products
The physical layer is deliberately simple. The customer lifts the lid and finds a hidden feature, not a sticker.
Ordinary NFC tags fail against metal. WICOVA specifies an anti-metal tag with a ferrite layer so it reads reliably through a phone held against the underside of a metal lid.
Consumer experience
Candles are lit in the evening. The passport is a mobile web experience that opens on tap: numbers large, everything else quiet, the partner brand named first.
Keep within sightAway from drafts and anything that can catch fire. We'll remind you at 3h 30m.
RecommendationTrim approximately 2–3mm before your next burn. A shorter wick gives a steadier flame and less soot. Wait until the wax is fully set.
Product lifecycle
A product's passport follows it from the batch it was made in to the moment it is replaced.
A product and batch are created by the brand.
WICOVA issues an identity and the tag is fitted under the lid.
The product ships through any channel, unchanged on the outside.
The customer taps the lid and the passport opens.
Sessions, remaining life and care are recorded.
Vision reads the burn; Intelligence builds the profile.
The right next product is recommended from the same brand.
Beyond candles
Candles are first because they burn, and burning is measurable. The identity, passport and intelligence layers apply to anything that scents a room.
