One uniform maker, a branded Digital Product Passport for every customer
ETP makes uniforms for airlines, hotel chains and hospitality crews, and every customer wants its own name on the garment, its own look, and increasingly its own circular story. One producer, dozens of brands: the Digital Product Passport had to follow the same rule.

What a scan opens
Before and after
Before
- Airline and hospitality customers asking for circular workwear: materials, repair flow, end-of-life route
- Every downstream customer with its own branding and its own expectations
- Article, PO and supplier data in Exact, and no way to put it on the garment
- Trace detail the ERP doesn't carry
After
- A brand-specific Digital Product Passport for each customer: airline branding for an airline, hotel for a hotel chain, on one backbone
- A GS1-compliant QR on the care label, no parallel print, no extra supplier step
- Articles, POs and suppliers flowing from Exact into Brand Cloud via automated SFTP
- The circular story on every garment: materials, repair, reuse, end-of-life
- A compliance dashboard catching missing data before production
How it ran, and what ran it

- Every garment leaves the factory looking like the downstream brand's
Which systems did it connect to?
Exact, their ERP, via automated SFTP.
- Articles, POs and suppliers flow into Brand Cloud
- Trace detail added on top of what the ERP holds
- Replacing Exact was never on the table
How long did it take, and who was involved?
Live in production, with ETP product and IT, and Tappr.

What is in the Digital Product Passport?
The circular story of the garment, in the customer's brand.
- Material composition and supplier traceability
- Repair, reuse and end-of-life routing
- A GS1-compliant QR on the care label
What did it change for the business?
Circular workwear, sold as a service to every customer.
- Brand-specific Digital Product Passports live in production

Will this meet the EU textile rules and AGEC?
The Digital Product Passport is built to carry what the rules ask for.
