Arianee

Core Features

• Digital Product Passport Generation

Arianee enables companies to create and manage Digital Product Passports for physical products. Each passport can hold structured regulatory, technical, and lifecycle data and can be accessed through a product-linked identifier.

This is the platform’s core capability. Arianee should be marked as supporting Digital Product Passports because its product architecture is explicitly built around DPP infrastructure, compliance readiness and passport activation.

The platform is particularly relevant for companies preparing for ESPR timelines and product-category-specific DPP requirements.

• Unique Product Identification

Arianee supports unique product identification through QR codes, NFC, and unique product links. This allows each product to connect to its own digital passport.

This capability is central to DPP implementation. Without a reliable product identifier, a passport cannot serve as a trusted digital record for the product. Arianee’s identity layer also enables authentication, warranty, repair, ownership, and resale use cases.

• Structured DPP Data Model

The platform supports structured data models based on standards such as JSON-LD, GS1 Web Vocabulary and Schema.org. It also references stackable data profiles that can be reused across regulatory contexts.

This is important because Digital Product Passports need to be machine-readable and interoperable. A structured DPP data model helps companies move beyond static PDFs or marketing pages and toward regulated product data infrastructure.

• Compliance Engine and Validation

Arianee includes compliance validation features that assess passport data against regulatory profiles. This can help companies identify missing fields, incomplete evidence, or data gaps before passports are published or used for compliance workflows.

This should be positioned as compliance support, not legal advice. Arianee can help structure and validate DPP data, but the company using the platform remains responsible for legal interpretation and compliance decisions.

• Audit-Ready Evidence Packs

The platform supports evidence and documentation management through audit-ready packs. These can help companies maintain the documentation needed to support product claims and regulatory passport fields.

This is particularly important because DPP compliance is not only about displaying data. Companies must also be able to explain where the data came from and what evidence supports it.

• Lifecycle Data Updates

Arianee supports lifecycle events, including manufacturing, sale, repair, ownership and end-of-life. This makes the passport a living record rather than a static product sheet.

Lifecycle data is important for circular economy models. Products that can be repaired, resold, reused or recycled need a history that follows the product over time. Arianee’s lifecycle event model supports this kind of continuous product record.

• Traceability Support

Arianee supports traceability through product data, supply chain information and lifecycle events. It can help brands connect product identity to data about origin, composition, substances of concern and product history.

This feature should be marked, but with careful wording. Arianee is not primarily a supplier mapping platform like some supply chain traceability tools. Its traceability value is tied to product passports, product identity and lifecycle data.

• Product Authentication

Arianee supports authentication use cases by linking products to unique digital identities. This is especially relevant for luxury, watches, fashion, resale and high-value goods, where authenticity affects consumer trust and secondary market value.

Authentication is also relevant to circularity because trusted resale markets depend on reliable proof of product identity and history.

• Warranty and Ownership Records

The platform can support warranty activation, ownership records, and customer-product relationships. A passport can become a post-purchase channel that allows the product owner to access services, register ownership, receive updates, or transfer product history.

This makes Arianee useful beyond compliance. The passport can become a customer relationship and product lifecycle management channel.

• Repair and Resale Support

Arianee supports repair and resale workflows by enabling identified repair networks, signed events, and preserved product history. This helps companies build circular services around products.

Repair and resale support should be considered an important circular economy feature. However, Arianee should not be treated as a repair marketplace or resale platform. It provides the product identity and event infrastructure that can support those models.

• Consumer Engagement

Arianee allows brands to use the passport as a direct customer channel. Product scans can connect consumers to product information, services, loyalty experiences, instructions, authentication, care guidance or resale support.

This means the DPP can serve both compliance and business functions. For brands, the passport can become a long-term channel after the original sale.

• Integration with Enterprise Systems

Arianee supports integration with enterprise systems through APIs, webhooks, and native connectors. It references integrations with ERP, PLM, PIM and WMS systems.

This is important because DPP data often originates in multiple internal systems. Arianee’s role is to connect this data, map it into passport profiles and activate it through product identifiers.

• Open and Decentralized Protocol

Arianee includes an open-source protocol component designed for interoperability, portability and longevity of digital passports. The Arianee Protocol is positioned as a decentralised infrastructure with open standards and public source code.

This differentiates Arianee from closed DPP tools. For Net Zero Compare, this should be treated as a strong interoperability and standards-support feature.

• Role-Based Access and Data Governance

Arianee supports governance features such as role-based access control and different information responses depending on user type. This is important because not all DPP data should be public.

A consumer, repair operator, regulator, and brand administrator may need access to different levels of information. Arianee’s controlled activation layer supports this distinction.

Plans & Pricing

Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Arianee appears to follow a custom enterprise SaaS pricing model, likely based on product volumes, number of passports, regulatory use cases, modules, markets, integrations, protocol requirements, implementation complexity, and support needs.

Integrations

Arianee supports integration with existing enterprise systems and data sources. The platform references CSV, REST API, webhooks, and native connectors for systems such as SAP, Akeneo, Salsify, and Centric.

Relevant integration categories include:

• ERP systems.

• PLM systems.

• PIM systems.

• WMS systems.

• product data systems.

• QR and NFC carriers.

• compliance reporting workflows.

• circular economy dashboards.

• customer engagement systems.

• wallet integrations.

• APIs and webhooks.

The integration model is central to the platform’s value because DPP data is rarely created in one place. Arianee acts as a passport infrastructure layer that connects existing data, maps it into structured profiles and activates it through product-linked access points.

Certifications & Awards

Arianee references SOC 2 Type II, GS1 partner status and legal archiving through Arkhineo. These relate to security, interoperability and document archiving, not environmental certification of customer products. The platform supports DPP data governance, compliance evidence and lifecycle traceability, but it does not itself provide product testing, legal advice or third-party sustainability assurance.

Expert Voices & Market Position

Arianee occupies a strong position in the European Digital Product Passport infrastructure market. Its platform is not only a DPP publishing tool, but an infrastructure layer that combines product identity, structured data, compliance validation, lifecycle events, consumer access and open protocol interoperability.

Within the Net Zero Compare taxonomy, Arianee should be positioned as:

• Digital Product Passport Software.

• Product Compliance Software.

• Connected Product Software.
