Digital Product Passports

Why?

Digital Product Passports provide a standardized data structure for product and material data exchange in a global supply chain. It reduces your efforts to map different data structures between you and your customers, partners and suppliers and keep those mapping up-to-data. Through the standard data structures, it is also easier for AI solutions to consume the data, without a lot of data wrangling.

What?

Through our one-day, virtual Digital Product Passport Master Class we create awareness across all levels in your organization what Digital Product Passports are, what their business value is and how you introduce them into your organization.

The Digital Product Passport Assessment looks at your DPP readiness against industry standards and best practices, e.g. the EU DPP4.0 specification or the Catena-X PCF Rule book for calculating the CO2 footprint of a materials or products.

A Digital Product Passport Strategy describes your vision of DPPs and uses a DPP Maturity Model to plan a roadmap from where you are to where you want to go. It also covers topics like changes to your current operating model, digital landscape and solution development processes.

The Digital Product Passport Architecture describes the execution of your DPP Strategy and is therefore often created in a project covering both, strategy and architecture. The architecture describes the how DPPs are integrated in your future business processes and digital landscape, as well how they are used in your data exchange with customers, partners and suppliers.

During the Digital Product Passport Implementation, we support our clients with technology agnostic capabilities like project management, business analysis, solution architecture and solution/product QA.

How?

• Our advisory work is outcome based, meaning you get a fixed price for a set of specified deliverables. This helps you manage your budget better.
• We use standards and industry best practices to shape our work. This ensures interoperability as well as the availability of enough skilled resources for implementation.
• We also use reference frameworks, architectures and models to maximize re-use of existing open-source IP, accelerating development for project deliverables.
• In all our engagement we use GenAI and AI Agents to augment our consultants. This improves the productivity but also provides more relevant insights and functions as a QA mechanism.
• From a way of working perspective, we prefer a Design Thinking approach and Agile/Scrum for project delivery.
