Digital Product Passports (DPPs) become significantly more powerful when they are connected to the systems where product data already lives. We help organisations integrate DPPs with PIM and ERP systems—turning existing data into a structured, scalable and continuously updated foundation for circular strategies. Rather than duplicating data or creating parallel systems, we connect to what is already there. This allows companies to build DPPs efficiently, while maintaining a single, reliable source of product information.
For many organisations, PIM and ERP systems already contain a large share of product-related data: specifications, materials, suppliers, logistics information and more. These systems often function—formally or informally—as the backbone of product data management.
By connecting C_passport® to these environments, we ensure that DPPs are built on existing knowledge, rather than starting from scratch. This not only accelerates implementation, but also improves data consistency and reliability across the organisation.
At the same time, we recognise that not every organisation needs a PIM or ERP system. For companies with a limited number of products, simpler setups can be more efficient. Our platform is flexible enough to support both approaches—whether you are working with advanced systems or not.
We connect to PIM and ERP systems in different stages, depending on your needs and level of maturity.
In early stages, structured imports can already create significant value. By importing product data into the platform, you can quickly generate DPPs and begin structuring your information.
As your processes evolve, we move towards deeper integrations through APIs. This enables real-time or near real-time data exchange, ensuring that updates in your PIM or ERP system are automatically reflected in your DPPs.
This staged approach allows organisations to start quickly, while building towards a fully integrated and automated data landscape.
‘We like to make things practical: reusing available data where possible, and building connections where that makes sense. The end goal is to generate circular value, we organise the data to make that happen.’

One of the key advantages of integrating with PIM or ERP systems is the ability to establish a clear single source of truth for product data.
When these systems are used as the central point of data management, C_passport® acts as a powerful extension—translating structured product data into Digital Product Passports and making it accessible across the value cycle.
This reduces duplication, prevents inconsistencies and ensures that all stakeholders—internal teams, partners and customers—work with the same, up-to-date information.
Without integration, product data often becomes fragmented across spreadsheets, systems and departments. This makes it difficult to maintain accurate DPPs and limits the ability to scale.
By connecting PIM and ERP systems to our platform, we create structured data flows. Information moves seamlessly between systems, is enriched where needed and becomes immediately usable for circular applications.
This structure is essential for use cases such as traceability, compliance, reuse strategies and lifecycle insights.
Circularity depends on reliable, accessible and up-to-date product data. By integrating DPPs with your core systems, we make this data part of your daily operations.
This approach supports:
Most importantly, it ensures that DPPs are not isolated outputs, but fully embedded in your organisation’s digital ecosystem.
Connecting PIM and ERP systems to C_passport® is not just a technical step—it is a strategic one. It allows organisations to unlock the full value of their existing data and translate it into meaningful, actionable insights for circularity.
Whether you are just starting with structured data or already managing complex system landscapes, we help you design and implement the right level of integration.
