Problem
Manufacturers lack a unified system to capture, store, and share detailed product and material information at the unit level, making it difficult to comply with emerging regulations such as the EU ESPR and to enable circular‑economy services like resale, repair, and rental.
Solution
MadeBy offers a cloud‑based platform that generates Digital Product Passports (DPPs) for each individual item. Users input core product data, which the system enriches with material specifications, certifications, and lifecycle events, and then encodes into GS1‑compliant 2D barcodes. Open APIs and ready‑made integrations—including a Shopify plug‑in—allow manufacturers, suppliers, and service providers to exchange DPP data across their ecosystems. The platform provides reporting tools that surface profitability and sustainability insights, supporting data‑driven decisions for resale, repair, and recycling programs. By centralising product information, MadeBy helps companies meet regulatory requirements, improve product traceability, and create customer‑facing services that boost loyalty.
Target Audience
Primary customers are manufacturers, apparel and textile brands, and their supply‑chain partners who need to track individual products and enable circular‑economy services.
