Fabacus

Fabacus is a global technology company transforming how product and licensing data flows through the retail value chain. By connecting brand licensors, licensees, manufacturers, and retailers into a unified, interoperable data space, we enable trusted, standards-based product information at scale.

Our proprietary platform, Xelacore, brings together fragmented product, creative concept, and IP usage data, turning it into structured, verifiable credentials. This helps brand owners gain visibility over what products are being made and sold under their IP, while enabling retailers to meet growing compliance and transparency requirements.

We are uniquely positioned to support the licensing industry—where data has historically been siloed and unstructured—by bridging product approval workflows with GS1-aligned identifiers and attribute models. Our work includes developing an industry-first IP licensing ontology—structuring how licensed products, creative concepts, and IP rights are captured and verified—ensuring interoperability with GS1 data standards and enabling new levels of supply chain integrity.

Through our Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) model, Fabacus operationalises the process of capturing, validating, and structuring data at scale. This equips organisations with the tools and teams needed to create and maintain a trusted system of record—supporting initiatives such as Digital Product Passports (DPPs), Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), and GTIN traceability.

Clients such as Paramount, NBC Universal, Hasbro, and Tesco trust Fabacus to bring structure, visibility, and truth to their product data. We help our partners ensure not only compliance, but also unlock insights and value across their product ecosystems.

As a GS1 UK solution partner, Fabacus is committed to advancing the use of global standards in the licensing and retail industries—supporting a more connected, compliant, and transparent future.
