Problem
Small and medium-sized product brands often manage product development, project workflows, and supplier communication through disconnected spreadsheets and email threads, leading to fragmented data, inefficiencies, and errors. As new regulations like the EU's Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) require detailed product traceability and Digital Product Passports, these brands struggle to assemble the necessary data from scattered sources at the end of the season.
Solution
Portia is a unified software platform designed for SME product brands, combining product lifecycle management (PLM), project management, process management, and supply chain traceability in one tool. The platform captures product data—including styles, materials, suppliers, and certificates—as teams work, so the information needed for Digital Product Passports is built naturally during development rather than collected retroactively. Portia includes a tier-1 supplier portal that lets suppliers log in and enter their own data and upload certificates, eliminating email chasing. Passports are published behind QR codes at the style, batch, or item level, and a one-way Shopify integration pushes passport data directly to the brand's online store.
Target Audience
Primary customers are small and medium-sized fashion and apparel brands that need to streamline product development and comply with upcoming EU Digital Product Passport regulations.
