GS1 Germany GmbH is the national arm of GS1, the global authority on product identification. It provides the infrastructure that enables millions of companies across retail, healthcare, logistics, and manufacturing to identify and share product data with precision. GS1 standards underpin the barcodes, data carriers, and digital identifiers that move physical goods through the global economy. Critically, GS1 is also the foundational standard for the EU’s Digital Product Passport framework, making this partnership directly relevant to every company preparing for DPP compliance.
Approximately 90% of EU product portfolios will require a Digital Product Passport by 2030. The rollout starts with dishwashers and washing machines in 2026, then expands to textiles, consumer electronics, furniture, and more through 2030. For most manufacturers, that deadline is not a distant concern. It is an active compliance risk.
Yet the core problem is not data. It is connection. Product data lives in one system, service communication in another, and compliance documentation somewhere else entirely. There is no central platform linking product identity to structured service workflows, no smart routing, no measurable audit trail. Companies treating the DPP as a static data exercise will meet the regulatory minimum and miss the commercial opportunity entirely.
"Preparing early saves cost and unlocks new revenue channels. The DPP is not just a compliance checkbox - it is the entry point to a persistent, product-linked customer relationship."
sqanit was built to treat the QR code on a physical product as the entry point into a full end-to-end process: identification, communication, resolution, and documentation. A single scan delivers the DPP instantly, with no app download or login required, and simultaneously opens access to tutorials, webshop links, service tickets, and AI-guided support. Smart routing ensures that a scan by a retailer, a service partner, or a consumer each triggers the right workflow automatically. That architecture is exactly what the GS1 ecosystem requires at the operational level, and the Solution Partnership with GS1 Germany formalises it.
This is not a badge on a website. It is a structural change in what every sqanit code represents:
"Being an official GS1 Germany Solution Partner means our customers are not just using a tool. They are operating inside the standard that defines how the world’s leading companies manage product data."
Before this partnership, sqanit customers operated a best-in-class platform without a direct connection to the global product identification standard. Now every sqanit code carries GS1 credibility and is structurally aligned with EU Digital Product Passport requirements. For the first time, customers can point to a GS1-backed identity layer that satisfies regulators and opens new commercial channels simultaneously. Existing customers gain this backing with no migration and no reconfiguration required.
The DPP is coming regardless. The question is whether companies treat it as a cost or a channel. This partnership with GS1 Germany gives sqanit customers the foundation to do both: meet every EU requirement on time and turn every product scan into a structured, measurable, brand-owned interaction. The clock on 2026 is already running.
