The problem
Most manufacturers are not prepared.
The challenge is not generating a QR code. The challenge is organizing industrial product data across systems, suppliers and documentation.
78%
manufacturers report fragmented product data across systems
64%
lack consolidated supplier data for declarations
71%
rely on inconsistent technical documentation
82%
have no traceability across product families
What is a DPP
A structured digital record of a product's identity, components, and lifecycle.
The EU Digital Product Passport links product traceability, sustainability data, supplier declarations and documentation requirements into a verifiable, queryable record.

Lifecycle
Requirements are expected to expand progressively across sectors under EU sustainability regulation (ESPR / Regulation 2024/1781).
Why industrial companies struggle
The chaos lives upstream of the platform.
By the time the DPP question reaches IT, the real work is hidden inside product data, supplier files, and decades of documentation.
ERP fragmentation
Product data scattered across multiple ERP, PIM and legacy systems with no single source of truth.
Supplier data gaps
Material composition, certificates and origin data missing or held in supplier inboxes.
Legacy documentation
PDFs, scans and Word files that cannot be parsed into structured DPP fields.
Inconsistent BOMs
Engineering and commercial BOMs diverge, breaking traceability at component level.
Missing ownership
No internal owner for product data quality across engineering, purchasing and compliance.
Multi-language complexity
Documentation maintained in several languages with inconsistent terminology.
Product family sprawl
Thousands of variants, often near-duplicates, with no rationalised family logic.
Unstructured certifications
Certificates stored as files rather than linked, machine-readable attributes.

FAQ
Concise answers to the questions we hear most.
A structured digital record carrying product identity, composition, sustainability, lifecycle and compliance information, accessible via a unique identifier (typically a data carrier such as a QR code).
Under ESPR, requirements are being introduced progressively, starting with batteries, textiles, electronics and electromechanical products, and expanding across most industrial sectors.
No. In most cases the platform is the last decision, not the first. Internal data structure, ownership and supplier readiness should be defined before platform selection.
A first readiness assessment typically takes four to six weeks. Operational structuring and supplier onboarding usually run over several quarters.
Material composition, supplier declarations, structured certifications, end-of-life information and consistent product attributes across product families.
Often yes, with appropriate adapters and a clear data model. The constraint is rarely the ERP itself but rather data quality, ownership and process discipline around it.
Yes. Supplier-provided data — particularly on materials, substances and origin — is a structural part of any credible DPP record.
No. DPP intersects sustainability, compliance, traceability, after-sales and circularity. It is best treated as an industrial data programme, not solely a sustainability initiative.
