In a bold and transformative move, leading “phygital” platform collectID officially announces its evolution into ZATAP, which was first introduced in September as the company’s new app and consumer-facing brand. This strategic shift to fully transition into ZATAP for both its business and end-consumer operations reflects the company’s commitment to reshaping the consumer-brand interaction landscape and bringing unparalleled joy to users through seamless connectivity between the physical and digital realms.
David Geisser, CEO and co-founder of collectID, expresses his enthusiasm for the company’s evolution, stating, “From our inception in 2018 to authenticate physical products in the digital realm, collectID has grown into something more profound. Today, we aim to create a brand that brings joy to consumers and resonates with our innovative approach to creating ‘phygital’ products. This journey has been possible thanks to our dedicated team and partners, and we are excited to witness the positive impact ZATAP will have on both businesses and end-users.”
Businesses: One Tap Away from Your Customers
While the company’s B2B operations continued under the collectID name after announcing ZATAP in September, they will now transition to operate under the ZATAP Business umbrella. This transition reinforces ZATAP’s commitment to offer a distinctive platform for brands to engage with their consumers like never before. The technology ensures product authenticity and turns every product into a compelling storyteller, forging stronger bonds with customers.

We aim to further expand our leading position in the phygital industry and to work with all major sports organizations and biggest names in fashion.”
