Validation: Identit-E, LLC (Eligibility Verification Service)

Buying trends for the student education customer are predominantly retail throughout Europe. In order for vendors to supply educationally priced products more securely and efficiently to key channel retail outlets such as the Applestore and Amazon, post sale validation is required.

What it is Identit-E (EVS)?

Identit-E is a website where European students are directed to prove their education status post-sale, before they receive their install/validation code for product installation. This opens the retail/internet channel for vendors to access EDU buyers such as students securely i.e. protecting commercial revenues, with multi-lingual validation that can be localised throughout Europe.

Value / Benefit to vendor:

Protect commercial revenues whilst monetising strategic student and educational market
Ensures compliance to verification standards
Development of student retail strategy
Capture of student registration / monthly report of student validations
Ability to profile vendor's education customers
High quality customer service and timely turn-around time
Allows expansion of reseller base
Incremental sales opportunity

DSEDU's service provides on-demand reproduction of products, artwork, packaging and other materials on behalf of vendors, which can be distributed throughout Europe.
