Updated by Maílis Carrilho on July 9th, 2026
Qliktag Digital Product Passport Platform is a cloud-based DPP software solution that helps brands and manufacturers create, manage and scale Digital Product Passports for physical products. The platform connects each product to a unique digital identity and digital twin, accessible through data carriers such as serialized QR codes, NFC tags, RFID, Data Matrix codes or invisible watermarks. Qliktag should be positioned primarily as Digital Product Passport Software. It is also highly relevant to Smart Packaging Software, Connected Product Software, Product Compliance Software, Supply Chain Traceability Software and Circular Economy Software. Its strongest value is not carbon accounting, energy management or full lifecycle assessment, but product-level identity, DPP data modelling, GS1 Digital Link URLs, NFC-enabled access, lifecycle data updates, consumer-facing DPP pages, audit trails and enterprise integrations.

Core Features

Digital Product Passport Generation

Qliktag’s core feature is the creation and management of Digital Product Passports. The platform allows brands and manufacturers to create product-specific digital records that can be accessed through a physical data carrier on the product.

The DPP can include data on components, materials, sustainability, recycling processes, and lifecycle events. This makes Qliktag directly relevant to EU DPP implementation and product transparency requirements.

Unique Product Identification

Qliktag supports unique digital identities for serialized products. These identifiers can be linked to GS1 Digital Link URLs and encoded into QR codes, NFC tags, RFID tags or other carriers.

Unique identification is foundational to DPP implementation. Without it, the physical product cannot reliably connect to the correct digital passport.

Digital Twin Management

The platform allows companies to create and manage digital twins for products. These digital twins can hold full attribute, component, material, and supplier data.

This makes Qliktag stronger than basic DPP page builders. It supports structured product-level data management rather than only publishing product information.

Custom DPP Data Model Designer

Qliktag provides a custom data model designer that lets companies define DPP schemas for different product categories. It also includes pre-built GS1-standard models for categories such as batteries, textiles, and electronics.

This is a strong capability because DPP requirements are category-specific. Flexible data modelling allows companies to adapt the passport to real product structures and regulatory requirements.

Visual DPP Experience Designer

The visual DPP experience designer allows brands to build consumer-facing passport pages using drag-and-drop tools. It includes live mobile preview and NFC conditional authentication flows.

This supports customer-facing transparency and brand control. A DPP can provide required information while also functioning as a branded product experience.

Multi-Carrier Support

Qliktag supports serialized QR codes, NFC tags, RFID, Data Matrix, and invisible watermarks. This gives companies flexibility in how they connect physical products to digital passports.

GS1 Digital Link URLs

The platform can generate GS1 Digital Link-compliant unique URLs for serialized items. These can be exported in bulk for label printers, NFC encoders, or direct API integration.

This is highly relevant for interoperability. GS1 Digital Link allows product identifiers to connect to multiple types of digital information through standardized web links.

Enterprise APIs and Integration

Qliktag provides a REST API library for integration with ERP, PIM, PLM and supply chain systems. The platform references Admin, Standard and Custom API tiers.

This allows brands to automate digital twin creation, synchronize product data and connect DPP workflows with existing enterprise systems.

Batch Import and Export

Qliktag supports manual item creation, bulk import and automated creation of digital twins through API integration. It also supports bulk export of GS1 Digital Link URLs.

Analytics and Insights Dashboard

The platform includes a dashboard for scan analytics, global interaction maps, API usage metrics, and chain-of-custody event logs.

This gives companies visibility into how passports are being accessed and used. It also supports monitoring DPP deployment performance.

Change History and Audit Trail

Qliktag maintains logs of data changes and a complete audit trail history for accountability, security, and compliance.

This is important for DPP governance because companies need to know when product data was changed, who changed it, and which version of the passport was active.

Lifecycle Data Updates

Qliktag describes DPPs as maintaining and updating critical data through the lifecycle of the product, including components, sustainability, recycling processes, and log events.

This makes the platform relevant to lifecycle data updates and product journey tracking.

Supply Chain and Chain-of-Custody Data

Qliktag includes chain-of-custody event logs and supports supplier, component and material data within product digital twins.

This supports supply chain traceability, although it should not be overstated as a deep EPCIS infrastructure platform like PSQR unless a specific implementation confirms that level of event traceability.

NFC-Enabled DPP Implementation

Qliktag places special emphasis on NFC implementation. The platform supports NFC tags, NFC conditional authentication flows, NFC encoding hardware and software tools, and secure NFC-enabled product access.

This is one of its clearest differentiators in the DPP market. It is particularly relevant for brands that want embedded, durable, or premium product-linked digital experiences.

Scalable Per-DPP Pricing Model

Qliktag describes scalable SaaS pricing with cost-effective per-DPP pricing that decreases with volume. It positions the platform for single-brand pilots as well as enterprises deploying billions of serialized instances.

Plans & Pricing

Exact pricing is not publicly disclosed on the reviewed product page. Qliktag describes a scalable SaaS pricing model with cost-effective per-DPP pricing that decreases with volume. Pricing is likely based on the number of DPPs or serialized items, data carrier type, modules, API tier, integrations, product categories, implementation complexity, and support needs.

Integrations

Qliktag supports REST API integration with ERP, PIM, PLM, and supply chain systems. It also supports GS1 Digital Link URL generation and bulk export for label printers and NFC encoders.

Relevant integration categories include:

  • ERP systems.

  • PIM systems.

  • PLM systems.

  • supply chain systems.

  • label printers.

  • NFC encoders.

  • QR code workflows.

  • RFID workflows.

  • GS1 Digital Link infrastructure.

  • API-based data exchange.

  • scanning applications.

  • product data systems.

This integration model makes Qliktag suitable for brands that need to connect existing product data systems to DPP outputs and physical data carriers.

Certifications & Awards

Qliktag states that its DPP platform is SOC 2 Type II compliant and GS1 standards native. These references relate to information security, interoperability and platform readiness, not environmental certification of customer products. Qliktag supports DPP compliance workflows, digital identity and audit trails, but does not itself provide legal advice, product testing or third-party sustainability assurance.

Expert Voices & Market Position
