FAQ
What data should we prioritize for transparency?+
Prioritize identifiers, material and origin information, and supplier-provided evidence. Once those foundations are reliable, add sustainability metrics and end-of-life instructions.
How can we keep transparency accurate as products change?+
Use a structured data model and versioning so updates (materials, suppliers, processes) flow through controlled workflows. This keeps the published record auditable over time.
Do Digital Product Passports replace audits and documentation?+
No. They help publish and distribute structured information. You still need evidence collection and governance, but DPPs make it easier to deliver to customers and regulators consistently.
Why is QR access important for consumer transparency?+
It places the transparency experience at the point of use, letting consumers scan and access the right product-level information on mobile.
How does Tracii reduce manual compliance work?+
Tracii centralizes product data and supports structured publishing via DPP-ready records, so teams spend less time manually compiling updates across systems and suppliers.
