Counterfeits are more convincing than ever, the deals are getting bigger, and one bad call can wipe out the profit from ten good ones. Bravo Store Systems is closing that gap. Today the company announced an exclusive partnership for pawnbrokers with Entrupy, the trusted leader in luxury authentication, putting professional-grade verification for handbags, leather goods, footwear, and apparel in the hand of every employee.

Bravo is the only pawn point of sale partnered with Entrupy and its new all-category app. No expensive scanner to buy. No certification course to sit through. Any staff member signs in on a smartphone, points it at the item, and gets an answer backed by a certificate of authentication in minutes.

Here is how it pays off on the floor:

• On the way in. Before you lend or buy, authenticate the bag, the watch, or the pair of designer shoes. If it is fake, you know it before a single dollar leaves the drawer.
• On the way out. The item is already verified. Staff upload the certificate image into Bravo, where it becomes part of the online listing, so buyers see the proof and pay full price without a second thought.

The secondhand luxury market is one of the fastest-growing corners of retail, and more of that inventory is landing on pawn and resale counters every year. High-end handbags, designer shoes, luxury watches, and other high-value pieces are crossing the counter in record numbers, and the money attached to them keeps climbing. But as resale has grown, so have the fakes. Counterfeits have become sophisticated enough to fool even a trained eye, which makes authentication more important than ever, especially ahead of a major purchase. Buyers feel it too. They want proof that a piece is authentic before they pay for it. Now pawnbrokers can give it to them.
