Supplier collaboration for product passport data
Ask each supplier for exactly the fields they own, and decide yourself what enters the passport.
Much of what a passport asks for is not known by the company that sells the product. Fibre origin, substances, recycled content or facility identifiers sit with suppliers and their suppliers. Collecting this by e-mail and spreadsheet works for ten products and fails for a thousand.
The platform turns the question into a request with a clear scope: one supplier, one product, a list of fields and a due date. The supplier answers through a link. Nothing they send is used until someone in your organisation has reviewed it.
Functions
What you can do today
- Create a targeted request
- Choose the supplier, the due date and the fields. Missing fields are suggested first.
- Give the supplier a link
- The link opens a form with only the requested fields. The supplier needs no account and sees nothing else.
- Review submitted data
- Submitted values appear next to the request, together with a note from the supplier.
- Approve or request changes
- Approval writes the values into the passport draft; a published passport changes only with your next publication. A change request reopens the form for the supplier.
- Follow the pipeline
- A board shows all requests by state: sent, submitted, changes requested and approved, with overdue requests marked.
Process
How it works
Request
Create the request on the product page and copy the supplier link.
Submit
The supplier opens the link, fills in the fields and submits.
Review
You approve the data into the passport or send it back with a change request.
Limits
Limits today
- The platform does not send e-mails to suppliers yet. You copy the link and send it through your usual channel. Request e-mails and reminders are planned.
- Suppliers answer in text fields. Upload of certificates and other files is planned.
- Suppliers have no accounts and no portal of their own. Each link belongs to one request.
Available: works in the application today. Configured per project: set up together with you. Planned: on the roadmap, not delivered yet.
