Platform Overview
The Compliance Operating System for EU Digital Product Passports
Traceable is not a form. It is an end-to-end compliance infrastructure that ingests documents, extracts structured data with AI, scores regulatory readiness in real time, orchestrates multi-tier supply chain data collection, and publishes machine-readable passports to GS1 and the EU Central Registry — at scale, across every ESPR-regulated product category.
Built Different — By Architecture, Not Marketing
Traditional approaches to Digital Product Passports rely on manual data entry, periodic compliance checks, email-based supplier collection, and static PDF exports. Traceable replaces each of these with purpose-built infrastructure.
System Architecture
Four processing layers transform raw documents and supplier data into published, registry-ready Digital Product Passports. Cross-cutting security, audit logging, and tenant isolation span every layer.
Six Core Engines
Each engine is purpose-built for a specific compliance function. Together, they form a complete DPP lifecycle — from document ingestion to regulatory submission.
AI Document Intelligence Engine
Upload test reports, certificates of conformity, material safety data sheets, carbon footprint declarations, and REACH SVHC declarations. The extraction pipeline identifies document type, parses structure, extracts data points, maps them to the correct regulatory fields in the DPP schema, and assigns per-field confidence scores. Human-in-the-loop review catches edge cases and continuously improves extraction accuracy. Multi-language support covers EN, DE, FR, IT, and ES documents natively.
Real-Time Compliance Scoring Engine
Every product passport receives a continuously updated compliance score combining field completeness (60%) and certificate verification (40%), weighted by regulatory importance. The engine maps to the exact regulatory structure — for battery passports, six Annex XIII sections with 90+ individual data points. Missing mandatory fields are flagged with specific regulation article references. The scoring algorithm distinguishes between mandatory, recommended, and optional fields, and cross-validates data claims against uploaded certification documents.
Multi-Tier Supply Chain Engine
Recursive Bill of Materials with parent-child component tracking down to raw material origin. Dedicated supplier portal with zero-knowledge OTP authentication — no account creation required. Formal data request workflows with configurable SLA tracking, response status management, and cryptographically timestamped audit trail. Supplier compliance scoreboard with risk indicators surfaces non-responsive or incomplete suppliers before they become compliance gaps. Directly supports CS3D due diligence obligations and responsible sourcing documentation requirements.
GS1 Digital Link & Registry Engine
Standards-compliant unique product identifiers and QR codes generated for every published passport, conforming to GS1 Digital Link 1.1 specification. The resolver enables any standards-compliant scanner or application to reach the public DPP viewer. Architecture is pre-integrated with the EU Central Registry technical specification ahead of the July 2026 mandate. Identifier scheme supports GTIN, batch, serial, and product model granularity to match regulatory requirements per product category.
Role-Isolated Portal Architecture
Four distinct portals with complete data isolation enforced at the database layer. Company Portal for manufacturers, importers, and distributors managing products and passports. Supplier Portal for upstream data collection with scoped visibility. Verifier Portal for market surveillance authorities with read-only access to published passport data. Superadmin Portal for platform operations and client management. Each portal exposes only the data, actions, and navigation relevant to that role. Row-level security policies ensure no data leakage between tenants or roles.
White-Label Deployment Engine
Deploy Traceable under your own brand for compliance consultancies, industry associations, and enterprise groups. Custom domain with automated SSL provisioning, logo upload, colour scheme configuration, and client account hierarchy. Manage multiple client organisations from a single console, set your own pricing, and deliver DPP compliance as a managed service. Each white-label deployment inherits the full platform capability — all six engines, all regulatory coverage, all security guarantees — under your brand.
Regulatory Data Model Depth
A Digital Product Passport is not a simple form with a few fields. The EU Battery Regulation Annex XIII alone defines 90+ mandatory data points across six regulatory sections. ESPR delegated acts will add product-category-specific schemas for textiles, electronics, construction products, and more.
Traceable models the full regulatory data structure with field-level metadata: data type, validation rules, mandatory/optional classification, regulatory article reference, and cross-field dependencies. When a carbon footprint methodology field is populated, the platform validates that the declared performance class is consistent with the stated methodology — automatically.
The schema is extensible by design. As new ESPR delegated acts are published, product-specific field sets are added without requiring changes to the underlying data architecture.
Supply Chain Intelligence
DPP compliance does not end at your factory gate. The EU Battery Regulation and CS3D require documented supply chain due diligence — origin of raw materials, responsible sourcing policies, and third-party audits. Traceable makes this operationally feasible without adding headcount.
Full chain-of-custody without chasing spreadsheets
- Recursive BOM Tracking Parent-child component tree from finished product down to raw material origin country, extraction method, and certification status.
- Supplier Portal with Zero-Knowledge Auth Suppliers receive email invitations, authenticate via OTP, and enter data directly — no account creation, no password management overhead.
- Formal Data Request Workflows Configurable request templates, SLA deadlines, automated reminders, and timestamped audit trail on every supplier interaction.
- Supplier Risk Scoreboard Real-time dashboard showing which suppliers are verified, which have gaps, and which are non-responsive — before they become compliance blockers.
- CS3D Due Diligence Alignment Supply chain data collected for DPP purposes maps directly to Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive reporting requirements.
Security Architecture & EU Data Sovereignty
Digital Product Passports contain commercially sensitive manufacturing data, supply chain intelligence, and proprietary formulations. Traceable treats this as critical infrastructure — not a SaaS afterthought.
EU-Sovereign Infrastructure
All data hosted exclusively in EU data centres. No data leaves the European Economic Area. Full GDPR Article 25 (privacy by design) and Article 28 (processor obligations) compliance.
Multi-Tenant Data Isolation
Row-level security policies enforce tenant-level data isolation at the database layer. No application-level filtering — isolation is enforced by the database engine itself, making cross-tenant data access structurally impossible.
Zero-Knowledge OTP Authentication
Two-factor OTP authentication on all accounts. Supplier portal uses passwordless OTP flow — no credentials stored for external users. Session tokens are short-lived with automatic rotation.
Immutable Audit Log
Every data mutation — field edit, document upload, supplier response, status change — is timestamped and logged with actor identity, IP address, and before/after state. Audit logs are append-only and non-deletable.
Encryption at Rest and in Transit
TLS 1.3 enforced for all connections. AES-256 encryption for stored data. File storage encrypted with per-tenant keys. Database backups encrypted and stored in EU data centres only.
Rate Limiting & DDoS Protection
In-memory rate limiting on all API endpoints with per-tenant and per-IP quotas. Edge-level DDoS mitigation. Bot detection on public endpoints. Automated lockout on brute-force attempts.
Integration Architecture & Standards Compliance
Traceable is API-first by design. Every feature available in the UI is accessible via the REST API. Bulk operations, webhook-driven automation, and structured data export enable integration with existing enterprise systems without vendor lock-in.

Regulatory Coverage
Traceable tracks the full regulatory landscape and updates its schema as new delegated acts are published. One platform for every product category — no switching tools as regulations expand.
Business Impact
DPP compliance is not optional — it is a market access requirement. The question is whether you build the operational infrastructure now or scramble when enforcement begins.
Penalty Exposure
Non-compliance penalties under ESPR can reach up to 4% of EU turnover. Market surveillance authorities can pull non-compliant products from shelves and block market access.
Faster Than Manual
AI document extraction replaces months of manual data collection. First passport published in hours, not quarters. Scale from 10 to 10,000 products without proportional headcount.
Platform, All Categories
Batteries, textiles, electronics, construction products, tyres — one platform with extensible regulatory schemas. No tool-switching as ESPR delegated acts expand.
