What's inside OSPI

  1. Overview of OSPI (Open Standard Product Identification)

    OSPI is an open, API-first standard for product identification that assigns each product a unique digital identity. It acts as a connectivity layer between existing systems (ERP, PIM, WMS, Webshops) and partners, enabling a Digital Product Passport (DPP) that includes product data, origin, sustainability information, and real-time inventory tracking across the supply chain.

  2. Understand OSPI product identification and governance

    OSPI is an open, international standard for product identification designed to create a transparent and efficient supply chain. Unlike closed systems, OSPI is managed by a non-profit organization (vzw) to ensure neutrality and independence from specific software vendors. The system is built on an API-first architecture and cloud computing to remain accessible to businesses of all sizes, from local producers to international retailers.

  3. Understand the Digital Product Passport (DPP) concept

    A Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a digital document containing all relevant information about a product from its production phase to its end-of-life. It is mandated by the EU for various product categories to ensure sustainability, transparency, and compliance with EU regulations.

  4. OSPI Security Architecture and Encryption Standards

    OSPI employs a zero-knowledge architecture with end-to-end encryption. All data is encrypted during transport and at rest using AES-256 encryption. The system ensures data integrity through immutable records, digital signatures, and decentralized verification via smart contracts.

  5. Create a Digital Product Passport for product transparency

    The Digital Product Passport (DPP) allows you to create a comprehensive digital document for products that integrates three core data areas:

    1. Sustainability Data: Track carbon footprints, manage sustainability certificates, and provide recycling instructions.
    2. Rich Content: Include media galleries (images, videos), technical specifications, and user instructions.
    3. Supply Chain Tracking: Maintain full traceability from production to the end-user, including production history, logistics tracking, and quality control checks.

  6. Manage and distribute rich product content via OSPI Content Platform

    The OSPI Content Platform allows for the creation and sharing of rich product content, marketing materials, and brand storytelling directly with customers. It supports a wide range of media types and distribution methods:

    • Rich Media Gallery: Upload and manage HD images, videos, technical documents, and 360° product views.
    • Interactive Content: Create video tutorials, interactive guides, and brand storytelling presentations.
    • Multi-Channel Distribution: Automatically sync content to e-commerce integrations, social media platforms, and via API distribution.

  7. Implement Smart Inventory Management with OSPI

    OSPI's Smart Inventory Management eliminates out-of-stock products by connecting all links in the supply chain. The system provides real-time stock tracking across multiple suppliers via integrated APIs, automated alerts, and a smart routing algorithm that automatically redirects orders to alternative suppliers based on availability, price, and delivery time when a primary source is sold out.

  8. Use the Supply Chain Dashboard for live stock monitoring

    The Supply Chain Dashboard provides a real-time overview of product availability across different entities (Producers, Wholesalers, Retailers). It displays unit counts, pricing, and stock status (e.g., 'In stock', 'Low stock', 'Out of stock'). The integrated OSPI AI analyzes this data to automatically recommend or route orders to the supplier offering the best combination of price and availability.

  10. Access professional industrial software and hardware via Up2Learn VZW

    Up2Learn VZW is a lending service that provides schools and educational institutions with professional software and industrial equipment to ensure students learn using the same tools found in the industry. This service is targeted at Universities, Colleges (Business, Logistics, Supply Chain), Technical/Industrial schools, and Secondary Technical education.

  11. Retailer benefits of OSPI smart product codes

    OSPI transforms retail by connecting customers directly to product information via smart codes. Key benefits include:

    • Smart Shopping: Direct access to product info, reviews, and comparisons.
    • Seamless Checkout: Scan-to-buy functionality to reduce queues.
    • Real-time Analytics: Insights into customer behavior and inventory levels.
    • Customer Loyalty: Personalized recommendations and loyalty programs.
    • Omnichannel Integration: Consistent product data across online and offline channels.
    • Trust: Built-in review and rating systems to increase conversion rates.

  12. Integrate with the OSPI REST API

    OSPI provides a modern RESTful API that returns product data in JSON format. The API is based on the OpenAPI 3.0 specification and supports real-time access to product data, stock levels, and supply chain information. Key features include webhook support and event streaming for live updates.
