Crime Reduction Ecosystem

Recipero’s Crime Reduction Ecosystem is a live, collaborative network that transforms shared data about high-value possessions — including mobile devices, laptops, bicycles, tools, antiques, and more — into real-time intelligence. This ecosystem helps to prevent fraud, deter theft, and protect assets across multiple industries.

A Dynamic, Trusted Intelligence Network

This isn’t just a database of serial numbers. It’s a living intelligence platform built on the lifecycle of items — the events, transactions, and claims that shape their history. Each interaction leaves a trace. Recipero connects those traces to deliver insight.

Whether it’s verifying a claimant’s story in an insurance case, identifying a stolen power tool at a second-hand store, or tracing the legitimate owner of a bicycle, the ecosystem serves multiple personas at different stages — insurers, law enforcement, retailers, and everyday users.

How Theft and Fraud Can Affect You

Recipero’s data-driven approach helps expose and prevent common methods of deception and theft, including:

  • Personal theft — whether organised or opportunistic

  • Individuals selling leased or subsidised devices still under contract

  • Dishonest employees selling company-provided or stock devices

  • Fraudulent insurance claims after selling a device

  • Laundering of stolen goods through warranty or insurance channels

The Recipero ecosystem brings together fragmented data to spot inconsistencies, verify claims, and flag suspicious patterns — giving organisations the clarity they need to act decisively.

An Intelligent Flow of Data

Our data sources span law enforcement, telecoms, insurers, retailers, recommerce, and the public — forming the most complete intelligence picture of an item’s lifecycle.

The power of the ecosystem lies in its continuous flow of information. A visual explainer below illustrates how diverse data sources feed into the Recipero Ecosystem Database and power the platforms used by our customers — creating a cycle of shared intelligence.

Powering Insight Through Connected Intelligence

This data is aggregated into the Recipero Ecosystem Database, where it is linked, verified, and interpreted using proprietary logic and historical context.

From there, it powers a suite of platforms and user tools that enable:

Importantly, use of these platforms contributes data back into the ecosystem, helping it grow exponentially and improve results with each interaction.

In 2024 alone, Recipero’s platforms handled over 5.7 million searches each month — verifying more than £13.8 billion worth of items across insurers, retailers, recyclers, and law enforcement.

Why It Matters

No other platform combines the breadth of item types with the depth of intelligence Recipero provides. By documenting the life history of articles — not just mobile phones — the ecosystem enables better decisions, faster investigations, and fewer losses.

  • Cross-sector fraud prevention

  • Improved traceability and ownership verification

  • Stronger outcomes for insurers, police, businesses, and the public

  • A more transparent and secure second-hand marketplace

That’s exactly what Recipero’s Crime Reduction Ecosystem achieves — for all kinds of possessions.
