PicoNext’s AI Tool Creates Digital Product Passports

— November 7, 2024 — Tech
PicoNext has launched a groundbreaking tool aimed at helping brands and retailers streamline compliance and transparency. Using generative AI, PicoNext simplifies the creation of digital product passports (DPPs), which are increasingly important in markets like the EU for conveying product origins, materials, and sustainability details to consumers. Integrated with Shopify, the tool leverages data from product pages, enabling businesses to generate DPP drafts with just a few clicks.

Dave Dickson, founder of PicoNext, notes that the tool meets a major need, especially for small to medium-sized businesses that may lack extensive compliance resources. With data pulled from Shopify and customizable templates, the platform enables companies to quickly outline essential product information, including material types, carbon footprint, and ethical sourcing details.

Beyond compliance, PicoNext empowers brands to strengthen consumer trust by offering insights on everything from environmental impact to working conditions. The platform’s DPPs are shareable via a storefront link or as QR codes on product tags, allowing consumers to access detailed product stories and data, fostering greater brand transparency and loyalty.
