AuthentiQ is a grading, authentication and verification platform that Next Orbit Technologies offers, implements and supports in the UAE and the GCC. It runs a collectibles grading company from first submission to final dispatch.

Workflow

From submission to verified slab

5 steps, one system: each stage hands its data to the next without re-keying.

Step 01 of 05

Submit

The customer builds a submission online or in the app, chooses a service level and pays.

Step 02 of 05

Receive

Courier intake logs the parcel, staff research each item against the set registry, and the queue orders work by turnaround.

Step 03 of 05

Grade

Graders appraise and grade, with sub-grades where offered, then the item is encapsulated and checked.

Step 04 of 05

Label

A QR-coded label and certificate are generated, aligned and printed in batches, with images attached.

Step 05 of 05

Return and verify

The item ships through the courier integration, the customer is notified, and the population report updates.

Benefits

What are the benefits of AuthentiQ?

  • Shorter turnaround

    A defined 8-stage workflow and automatic priority queues remove the hand-offs and lost items that slow grading companies down.

  • Trust that can be checked

    QR labels, public certificate lookup and a live population report let any collector confirm a grade in seconds.

  • Revenue without extra back office

    Service-level pricing, online payment and bulk submissions let volume grow without the same growth in admin staff.

  • One system for the whole operation

    Submissions, grading, printing, shipping, customer updates and reporting share one database instead of five tools.

  • Ready for volume

    Bulk and dealer submissions, batch label printing and automatic priority queues let throughput rise without losing track of a single item.

Questions, answered

AuthentiQ: frequently asked questions

01 What is AuthentiQ?

AuthentiQ is a collectibles grading, authentication and verification platform offered, implemented and supported by Next Orbit Technologies in Dubai for operators across the UAE and the GCC. It runs the full operation of a grading company: online submissions, an 8-stage grading workflow, QR-coded labels, certificate verification, population reports, courier shipping and a collector mobile app.

02 Which collectibles can AuthentiQ grade?

AuthentiQ supports trading cards, sports memorabilia, coins and currency, stamps, comics, autographs, luxury items, fine art and antiques. Categories are configurable, so a new product line can be added without new development.

03 How does certificate verification work?

Every graded item gets a unique certificate number and QR code. Anyone can verify it by entering the number on the public page, following the QR link on the label or scanning it in the mobile app, and the page shows item details, grade and images.

04 Can we use our own grading scale, brand and label design?

Yes. Grade names, sub-grades, label layouts and colours are configured per operator, and the customer portal, certificates and app carry your brand rather than a vendor’s.

05 Does AuthentiQ handle bulk and dealer submissions?

Yes. Bulk and dealer submissions use the same workflow as single items, and priority queues order work automatically by the turnaround time of each service level.

06 Does AuthentiQ integrate with couriers?

Yes. A courier API integration handles inbound and outbound shipments, and tracking appears in the customer status tracker alongside the grading stage.

07 How is AuthentiQ priced?

AuthentiQ is offered as a SaaS subscription or a dedicated deployment, with a tailored quotation based on expected volume, categories, branding and integrations. Book a demo for a proposal.

08 Can we migrate existing certificate records into AuthentiQ?

Yes. Existing certificate numbers, grades, images and set data can be imported during onboarding, so certificates issued before the switch remain verifiable on the new platform.

09 Can AuthentiQ data be hosted in the UAE?

Yes. A dedicated deployment can be hosted in a UAE cloud region or in your own cloud tenancy, and the hosting model is written into the agreement.

10 Does AuthentiQ support Arabic?

The standard portal is in English, which suits most international collector markets. Arabic labels for the customer portal and certificates can be scoped for operators serving Arabic-speaking customers.

11 How can we see AuthentiQ working?

Book a demo. Our implementation team walks through a submission, the eight grading stages, label printing and certificate verification, and answers questions about your categories and volumes.
