Centric Software Launches Digital Product Passport Solution

For many organizations, the primary hurdle to meeting new regulatory demands is not an absence of information, but its isolation. Product data currently sits siloed across PLM, ERP, and traceability systems, making it difficult to aggregate for the comprehensive reporting required by the EU. Centric DPP functions as a governed digital layer that connects these existing sources, allowing companies to create and maintain product passports at scale without overhauling their current technology stacks.

Beyond mere compliance, the platform enables businesses to leverage structured data for post-purchase experiences, such as repair and resale programs. Brennen Volbeda, Senior Director of Digital Experience and Data Strategy at PCNA, notes that the company is already seeing increased demand from customers for deeper sustainability insights. By integrating their product foundation with Centric DPP, they aim to stay ahead of evolving requirements rather than reacting to them. The solution supports persistent URLs and data carriers like QR codes, providing a direct link between the manufacturing origin and the final consumer experience.
