Big news: Tappr is now officially a GS1 Netherlands partner. While we’ve been closely collaborating with GS1 from the very beginning, this marks a new chapter in our collaboration.
By formalizing our partnership with GS1 Netherlands, we’re reinforcing our commitment to interoperability, brand ownership of QR codes, and a more sustainable ecosystem for Digital Product Passports.
What is GS1 Netherlands?
GS1 Netherlands is part of the global GS1 network, best known for creating and maintaining standards like the barcode and GTINs (Global Trade Item Numbers). Beyond that, GS1 helps businesses work more efficiently by ensuring consistency across the supply chain, enabling systems and partners to “speak the same language.”
With 116 local GS1 member organizations, their impact is truly global. In the Netherlands, GS1 supports businesses ranging from major retailers to manufacturers, logistics providers, and innovators driving the circular economy
Why this Partnership Matters
Tappr’s platform was built on GS1 standards from day one and by embracing GS1 Digital Link, we give brands full control over their QR codes. That means:
- Brands own their domains: No more vendor lock-in. If you ever change providers, your codes remain yours.
- Interoperability by default: Sticking to the GS1 URI structure ensures smooth transitions, integrations, and ecosystem-wide adoption.
- Future-proof compliance: With EU regulations on Digital Product Passports approaching, standards are the foundation that keeps solutions flexible and sustainable.
For our clients, this partnership means confidence. It shows that we just not only build software, we work hand in hand with the organizations shaping tomorrow’s digital standards.
What We Aim to Achieve Together
This partnership is about more than aligning logos. Together with GS1 Netherlands, we aim to:
Ensure brands stay in control of their QR codes, domains, and data strategies. Promote interoperability so DPP systems can connect seamlessly across industries and borders. And support Dutch and European businesses in meeting upcoming regulations while unlocking new opportunities for transparency, traceability, and consumer engagement
Looking Ahead
We believe open standards are the only way forward for Digital Product Passports. That’s why we’ve supported GS1 Digital Link from the very start and why this partnership is such a natural fit.
