GCN's RFiD tags can only be read by commercial RFID UHF readers connected to the GCN Cloud App this enables bulk scanning of hundreds of products simultaneously as opposed to QR codes that can only be scanned by making visible and only able to scan one at a time so they're not efficient for B2B and cannot collect and report new data.
The organisation putting DPPs onto the market is known as a DPP Issuer ie. "the brand".
Everything a brand needs to start issuing verifiable Digital Product Passports: washable RFID tags, compatible readers and the GCN App — priced and packaged so get started with a little as 100 RFIDs. Request Package tiers and pricing details.
CONNECTION PATHWAY OPTIONS FOR BRANDS:
1. This is GCN's Self-Populate path: you purchase minimum of 100 RFID tags and appropriate readers, and your own team or authorised manufacturer populates DPPs directly through the GCN App, at your own pace.
2. Prefer a managed service instead? GCN's Circular Data Centres can populate and verify your data on your behalf — either for an individual brand to send to your product manufacturers already populated, or coordinated at scale across an entire industry association.
