Choosing the right Digital Product Passport software: Why VERA by Spherity is the solution for compliance and business value

How manufacturers and businesses can meet EU requirements, streamline data management, and realize new opportunities with a proven Digital Product Passport solution.

Across industries, the conversation around sustainability and product transparency is accelerating. The European Union has taken a decisive step forward by mandating Digital Product Passports (DPPs) under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) and the EU Battery Regulation (2023/1542). These frameworks will require businesses to provide structured, verifiable, and machine-readable data on their products — covering everything from material composition and carbon footprint to repairability and end-of-life treatment.

For many manufacturers, suppliers, and retailers, this marks a turning point. They understand that DPPs will soon be non-negotiable, but most are still wondering: where do I start, what kind of solution do I need, and how do I ensure compliance without creating a costly, complex IT burden?

The reality is that not all Digital Product Passport software is created equal. Choosing the right provider can mean the difference between scrambling to meet deadlines and confidently integrating DPPs into everyday business operations. This is exactly where Spherity’s Digital Product Passport solution stands out.

What is the right Digital Product Passport Solution for my Business?

The urgency is clear. According to the European Commission, the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) aims to make sustainable products the norm and requires that every regulated product group will carry a Digital Product Passport to improve traceability, repairability, and recyclability. From 2027, all batteries placed on the EU market will require a DPP containing verified performance, material, and recycling data.

At the same time, the global market for Digital Product Passport solutions is projected to grow rapidly, with analysts forecasting a CAGR above 20% in the next decade, according to MarketsandMarkets. Businesses that invest now won’t just be compliant — they’ll be ahead of the curve in supply chain transparency, brand trust, and customer engagement.

But here’s the challenge: implementing DPPs is not just about publishing data. It’s about staying up to date with evolving regulations, adopting the right data standards, structuring data so it is usable for multiple stakeholders, and integrating seamlessly with existing systems. This is where the choice of the right Digital Product Passport software makes all the difference.

Empower your Business with the Digital Product Passport solution

VERA was designed from the ground up to take the complexity out of DPP creation and management. Instead of expecting companies to constantly chase regulatory updates, reinvent data models, or manage scattered compliance tools, VERA provides a single, powerful platform that centralizes everything.

One of the biggest pain points companies face is the need to constantly monitor regulatory changes. With Spherity’s Digital Product Passport solution, VERA, that burden is lifted. The platform is continuously updated to reflect the latest ESPR delegated acts, the EU Battery Regulation, and frameworks like REACH, ensuring that businesses don’t have to dedicate internal resources just to stay compliant.

Another critical aspect is understanding which data models and standards are required. Many organizations struggle with the complexity of standards like W3C Verifiable Credentials or sector-specific formats. VERA provides this “compliance as a service”: it guides companies through the process, helps them select the right data structures, and ensures their DPPs are built to last.

Structuring and presenting data are equally important. VERA doesn’t just store information; it organizes and displays it in ways that are simple, attractive, and verifiable for different stakeholders. For example, manufacturers can present key compliance details to regulators, recyclers can access material composition data, and consumers can scan a QR code to see sustainability credentials — all from the same DPP.

B2B2C cases: Value-added services with Digital Product Passports

For companies that want to offer DPPs as a service to their own customers, VERA makes that possible too. Whether you’re an OEM, a supplier, or part of a consortium, you can easily extend VERA’s functionality to your customer base. Its high degree of customization — both in terms of content and design — means that changes can be implemented within days, not months.

In short, VERA creates structure and peace of mind. Everything related to your DPPs is in one place, linked to the EU’s central registry, verified with strong cryptography, and enriched with analytics such as, for example, a one-click battery performance tracking or a one-click textile material check in a T-shirt. That means no more deadline stress, no more fragmented systems, and a higher level of trust across your ecosystem. See demos of our Digital Product Passports for batteries, textiles, and tyres. 

Key features of Spherity’s Digital Product Passport software: More than just Compliance

Spherity has implemented battery passports with BVG Berlin’s electric bus fleet, setting up and integrating data in just one week.

Here are some of the capabilities that make VERA stand out:

1. Easy DPP creation & publishingOur DPP solution allows businesses to create and publish DPPs in minutes. Pre-loaded regulatory templates are always up to date, and companies can customize them to reflect their own data needs.

   
   

2. Support for static and dynamic dataOur Digital Product Passport software supports static and dynamic data across the full product lifecycle. That means you can add updates such as safety sheets, recycling information, carbon footprint data, or product health status without extra development.

   
   

3. Verifiable and standardized dataEvery DPP issued through VERA is based on W3C Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) and Verifiable Credentials, ensuring data integrity, authenticity, and machine-readability. This makes your passports tamper-evident and audit-ready.

   
   

4. Regulatory compliance built-inOur Digital Product Passport solution aligns with major EU frameworks — including the Battery Regulation, ESPR, and REACH — and offers automated reporting and structured exports for audits and supply chain due diligence.

   
   

5. Integration with ecosystems and standardsAs industries converge on data-sharing initiatives like Catena-X, Gaia-X, IDTA, and Manufacturing-X, VERA is already built to integrate seamlessly. It also supports the upcoming EU Business Wallet (EUDI/eIDAS2), ensuring enterprise-grade identity and delegation.

   
   

6. API-first interoperabilityOur API-first architecture makes it simple to connect with ERP, PLM, CRM, and battery management systems. Real-world pilots have already demonstrated how easily our DPP solution integrates into existing IT landscapes.

   
   

7. User-friendly landing pagesEach DPP comes with a product landing page, accessible via QR code, where companies can showcase both public and access-controlled data. This not only meets regulatory needs but also creates new opportunities for customer engagement, second-life markets, and circular services.

   
   

8. Data sovereignty and access controlCompanies remain in full control of who can view and interact with their product data. Our DPP solution enables fine-grained access management, ensuring that sensitive business information is only shared with authorized partners and persons of legitimate interest, including EU authorities, while public sustainability data remains openly accessible.

   
   

9. Analytics and ESG tracking

   Our Digital Product Passport solution provides the infrastructure to make compliance data visible, verifiable, and actionable. By aggregating and structuring the data provided by the company, such as carbon footprint, material composition, ESG indicators, and more, Spherity’s Digital Product Passport solution turns static documentation into meaningful insights that support sustainability strategies and regulatory alignment.

Why our DPP solution goes beyond compliance

Many companies are focused on the deadlines — for example, the February 2027 requirement that all batteries sold in the EU must have a Digital Product Passport. Missing that deadline could mean immediate loss of market access. But companies that start early with a solution like our Digital Product Passport software aren’t just ticking boxes; they are building trust, efficiency, and business advantage.
