The Digital Product Passport isn't a publishing problem — it's a supply-chain data problem. And in fashion, that supply chain is the hardest of all.
Built exclusively for fashion, textile and footwear supply chains, Trama turns the documents your suppliers already produce — bills of materials, delivery notes, test reports, GOTS, GRS and OEKO-TEX certificates — into an ESPR-compliant Digital Product Passport, ready for the EU Registry. No new software for your suppliers, no IT onboarding.
EU Digital Product Passport Registry: live since July 2026. Is your supply chain ESPR-ready?
Not publishing. Not the data carrier. Not the front-end. The first fashion brands to try it state it openly: ESPR compliance is won or lost upstream — in the quality of the data a textile supply chain can actually deliver.
Subcontractors, contract manufacturers and finishing houses run on heterogeneous systems — or on no system at all. Technical documentation arrives as unstructured files: delivery notes, declarations of conformity, test reports, outside any standard record layout.
Formulations, tier-2 suppliers and commercial terms are strategic assets. Without technical and contractual data segregation, supply-chain partners simply won't contribute the information the passport requires.
Unvalidated upstream data produces passports that won't stand up to market surveillance. Every field needs a source, a timestamp and a verification status — a continuous audit trail, not a one-off upload.
"The biggest challenge is sourcing structured, certified data from supply-chain partners that lack advanced management systems."
— A recurring finding across the fashion industry's first DPP projects. Trama is engineered for exactly this scenario.
Trama is the DPP layer built for the fashion and textile supply chain, covering the missing link: structured data collection at the point where the data is created. Document intelligence on the way in, data governance in the middle, ESPR compliance on the way out.
Each supplier works through a dedicated portal — no installations, no IT onboarding. The document intelligence engine extracts and normalizes data from unstructured documentation, mapping it onto the ESPR data model.
Every field retains its source, timestamp and verification status. The rules engine catches inconsistencies across compositions, lots and certificate expirations before they ever reach the passport.
Passport serialization in line with the textile delegated act, and a direct connection to the EU Registry. GS1 Digital Link data carriers: QR codes and cryptographically signed NFC tags for the luxury segment.
Role-based access control and need-to-know by design: the requirement fashion brands cite as decisive when selecting a DPP vendor. In Trama it isn't a configuration — it's the architecture.
The complete compliance dataset, documentary evidence and audit trail, available on request as the regulation mandates.
Composition, origin, certifications and care instructions — the public layer that adds value to the product and the brand.
No supplier can access another partner's data. Formulations, tier-2 sources and volumes stay ring-fenced: the know-how stays with its owner.
Trama interfaces with the fashion ERP and PLM stack already in place — yours and your supply chain's: file-based connectors on agreed record layouts, SFTP watch-folders, REST APIs. No migration, no lock-in.
Neutral by design — so system integrators and ERP consultants can recommend Trama without channel conflict.
Textiles, apparel and footwear are among the priority sectors under the ESPR regulation — which is precisely why Trama does one industry and does it properly. Onboarding a supply chain takes months — whoever starts first turns a compliance obligation into a competitive advantage.
Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 makes the Digital Product Passport a market-access requirement for products placed on the EU market.
The European infrastructure is operational and the first product groups are being registered. Textile is not among them yet — which is precisely the window in which to get your supply chain in order.
It will define the mandatory data requirements for apparel and footwear. Organizations with their supply chain already on board will only need to publish.
The passport becomes a condition of access to the EU market. Supply-chain data collection can't be improvised once the deadline hits.
We're selecting a small group of fashion brands and manufacturers from Italy's textile districts for the platform's co-design phase: preferential early-adopter terms, a roadmap prioritized around your requirements, direct access to the product team — and the industry's reference case study when your supply chain is the first to be ESPR-ready.
