The Role Nobody Writes DPP Content For
Almost every piece of Digital Product Passport content is written for brands and manufacturers — the companies who own the product. But a huge share of the data a DPP actually needs — where a shipment was, how it was stored, who handled it and when — gets generated by logistics providers and 3PLs moving the product between other people's facilities. If that data isn't captured cleanly at your end, your client's DPP has a gap that isn't their fault to fix, but is their problem to answer for.
What a DPP Actually Needs From the Logistics Leg
1. Timestamped handoff records at every transfer point — who received it, from whom, and when.
2. Storage and transport conditions where relevant — temperature, humidity — for products where that data matters to compliance or quality.
3. Location data tied to the actual movement of the product, not just origin and destination.
4. Data in a format your client's DPP system can actually ingest, not a proprietary format that requires manual re-entry on their end.
Why This Is Worth Getting Ahead Of
As more product categories come under DPP requirements, brands will increasingly choose logistics partners based on whether they can supply clean, structured chain-of-custody data — not just on cost and delivery speed. A 3PL that already produces DPP-ready data is an easier, lower-risk choice than one whose data has to be chased down and reformatted after the fact.

reGenesis DPP+ combines Digital Product Passports with traceability data captured at every stage of a product's journey — including the handoffs that happen between facilities a brand doesn't operate directly.
