TrustRise logo — Digital Product Passport platform for fashion and textile brands

The platform

From supplier data to a published passport, in one system.

A Digital Product Passport is the visible end of something larger. The QR code takes two minutes to generate. Collecting the data behind it, proving it, and keeping it accessible for a decade is the actual work.

TrustRise handles that work in four connected parts: the suppliers who hold the data, the chain that links it, the verification that proves it, and the passport that publishes it.

How it fits together

  1. Suppliers submit. You send structured requests for specific fields on specific products. Your suppliers answer in a form built for the answer, attach their certificates, and the submission is hashed and timestamped.
  2. The chain links. Lots, shipments and transaction certificates connect each batch to the material that went into it. Arithmetic rules refuse records that cannot be true.
  3. Evidence is verified. Certificates go through review against the issuing body’s records. Every field carries an evidence level that is computed, not claimed.
  4. The passport publishes. A GS1 Digital Link QR code resolves to a role-aware passport — consumers see one view, economic operators another, authorities a third.

Each part works without the ones after it. You can publish passports before mapping a chain, and map a chain before verifying certificates. Nothing is all-or-nothing.

The four parts

Digital Product Passports

The record itself. Material composition, production steps, care, chemicals, end of life — structured against the JRC specification for textiles, published to a permanent public URL with a print-ready QR code.

Passports stay live for the product’s lifetime. Going over your plan’s quota stops you publishing new ones; it never takes an existing QR offline.

Supplier network

Where the data comes from. Structured requests instead of email threads, a shared document library with expiry tracking, and sub-supplier cascade when the data sits one tier further up.

Suppliers are never charged, and no brand plan restricts what a supplier may record.

Supply chain traceability

The evidence underneath the claims. Lots, shipments and transaction certificates, with mass balance and TC coverage enforced as blocking rules — you cannot claim more certified material came out of a step than went into it.

Verification and claims

What makes a claim defensible. Certificates reviewed by a person against the certification body’s records, evidence levels computed per field, and claim gating that holds back any claim whose evidence falls short.

The rest of the platform

  • Integrations — Shopify and WooCommerce apps, CSV import and bulk QR export, a REST API and webhooks on Business plans.
  • Consumer analytics — scans, countries and repeat engagement per passport. What people actually do with the QR code once it is on the garment.

What makes this different

Three things, and they are the same three a buyer should check in any vendor.

Suppliers are free, always. The party doing the data entry is never the party paying. A traceability system that charges suppliers does not get data. This is not a promotion; it is in the architecture — no brand plan can restrict a supplier’s account.

Evidence is enforced, not stored. Most platforms accept what you type. Mass balance and transaction certificate coverage block the write. Claim gating holds back a claim whose backing is too weak. The system says no, which is the only reason its yes is worth anything.

No implementation project. Sign up, invite a supplier, publish a passport. There is no onboarding fee, no six-month configuration, no consultant. The platforms that require one are not worse; they are built for a different buyer with a different budget.

Where to start

You do not need a plan. You need one product.

Pick a product with a cooperative supplier. Send one request for the fields you actually need. See what comes back and how long it takes. That tells you more about your readiness than any assessment, and it is free on both sides.

From there, the pattern repeats and gets faster — certificates are already uploaded, material data already entered, the supplier already knows the form.

Start with one product

Ten passports free, no card, no call. Your suppliers join at no cost.
