DPP INFRASTRUCTURE
Add DPPs without replacing your systems
Create and maintain product passports using data from ERP, PLM, PIM, spreadsheets, documents, databases, and APIs. Keep your core systems and connect the sources that already power your product operations.
Controlled access
Control who sees what
Give regulators, customers, repairers, and business partners access to the information relevant to them while keeping restricted and commercially sensitive data controlled.
Regulatory readiness
Stay ready as requirements evolve
Circlepass monitors relevant regulatory developments, identifies affected products, and proposes updates for human review before information gaps become urgent.
Team efficiency
Find trusted product information faster
Bring product records, source files, owners, and supporting evidence together so teams can respond to customer, procurement, audit, and regulatory requests without searching across disconnected files and systems.
Circular value
Support repair, reuse, and recovery
Build a reusable information base for maintenance, repair, resale, remanufacturing, recycling, and other product-lifecycle services.
Customer & procurement
Respond faster with evidence-backed product data
Answer customer and procurement requests faster, substantiate product claims, and prepare for sustainability information increasingly requested in tenders and supply chains.
Compare the effort: build DPP infrastructure internally or use Circlepass
Build and maintain internally: 977 hours. With Circlepass: 151 hours. less internal effort: 85%. hours freed: 826 hours. savings potential: €62K.
How this estimate is calculated
Building DPP infrastructure internally includes the initial work required for the DPP data model, source integrations, identifiers and registry workflows, publishing and controlled access, validation, evidence and version management, plus ongoing technical and regulatory maintenance. Circlepass already provides that underlying infrastructure, so the customer-side estimate focuses on connecting source systems, mapping product data, onboarding product models and ongoing data governance. This is an illustrative planning estimate, not a quote or guaranteed saving. Adjust the inputs above to reflect your organisation.
Internal implementation
- 440 h foundational implementation
- + 48 h per source system
- + 8 h per product model
- + 80 h first-year standards / schema / maintenance work
- + 15% of setup effort for technical maintenance
- + 1.25 h per product model and update cycle
With Circlepass
- 40 h baseline onboarding
- + 10 h per source system
- + 2.5 h per product model
- + 24 h annual governance
- + 0.35 h per product model and update cycle
Savings potential converts estimated hours freed using the selected blended hourly cost. Circlepass fees, external costs, and tax are not included, so this should not be interpreted as net financial savings or ROI.
Frequently asked questions
What is a Digital Product Passport, and do we need one?
A Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a digital record of product information linked to a product identifier and accessible through a data carrier such as a QR code. Under ESPR, the exact requirements, products covered, and timing are defined by product-specific rules, so not every product has the same obligations or deadline.
How does Circlepass work with our existing systems and documents?
Circlepass adds a DPP layer around the systems and documents you already use. Product data and evidence can be brought together from ERP, PLM, PIM, spreadsheets, documents, databases, or APIs and mapped to the relevant product passport. You keep your core systems while Circlepass manages the DPP workflow around them.
How long does implementation take?
It depends on the product scope, data quality, integrations, supplier involvement, and your internal review. Manufacturers with existing systems and available data are typically operational with their DPP within a few weeks. We typically start with a focused scope and expand once the data and workflow are proven.
Who can access the passport? Is data secure and EU-hosted?
All data is hosted in EU data centers, encrypted in transit and at rest, GDPR-aligned, and access-controlled per your organization. Different audiences can receive different access to product information, while restricted or commercially sensitive data remains controlled.
How does Circlepass keep up with changing DPP requirements?
Circlepass monitors relevant regulatory developments and translates them into suggested updates for affected product records. Changes are reviewed before they are applied. Circlepass supports operational readiness; legal interpretation and certification remain outside the service.
Can Circlepass help beyond regulatory compliance?
Yes. Once product data, evidence, and ownership are connected, the same information can support customer requests, procurement, audits, internal teams, and product-lifecycle use cases. This reduces repeated searches across spreadsheets, documents, inboxes, and disconnected systems.
How is Circlepass priced?
Pricing is scoped to your portfolio and the regulations that apply to your product categories. Before work begins, we provide a clear proposal covering implementation, integrations, support, and platform costs. Contact us to discuss your scope and receive a quote.
How do we get started with Circlepass?
We start with a short conversation to understand your products, data sources, DPP requirements, and goals. From there, we agree on the most useful first scope, milestones, and commercial setup before onboarding begins.
