Viking Outdoor Footwear Incorporates Kezzler's Digital Product Passports

— December 11, 2024 — Eco
Kezzler, a company specializing in traceability solutions, has partnered with Viking Outdoor Footwear and Trimco Group to introduce digital product passports (DPPs) for select styles from Viking’s upcoming spring/summer 2025 collection. This innovative step aims to enhance transparency, sustainability, and consumer engagement by offering a digital record of each product’s journey from production to purchase.

This project represents the second collaboration between Kezzler and Trimco Group since formalizing their partnership in early October. It demonstrates the duo's dedication to advancing traceability technology within the fashion and footwear industries.

By embedding DPPs into Viking’s products, the brands seek to empower customers with detailed insights into the origin, authenticity, and lifecycle of the products they purchase, ensuring a greater sense of trust and accountability.
