Use cases

One record of where products come from, used across the business.

Brands and manufacturers use Origentra to prepare for passport rules, answer customers and auditors, and protect their products against counterfeits and problem materials.

By sector

How teams use it

  • Batteries

    Battery passports for e-bikes, e-scooters and electric vehicles

    From 18 February 2027 many batteries need a digital passport, and from August 2027 due diligence on cobalt, lithium, nickel and graphite.

    • Record the mine, refinery, cell plant and pack assembly behind each production batch
    • Link cell and pack batches with trace links, so a recall or query can be traced back and forward
    • Attach test reports such as UN 38.3 and carbon footprint evidence, with verification states
    • Publish a passport per batch, reached by the QR code on the pack
  • Fashion and textiles

    Composition and origin for clothing ahead of textile rules

    Textiles are an early priority for Digital Product Passports, and brands are asked to substantiate claims such as recycled or organic content.

    • Record fibre composition with percentages, and the spinner, weaver and sewing facility
    • Keep organic and recycled content certificates with their expiry dates, and get warned before they lapse
    • Show care, repair and recycling information on the passport
    • Keep claims evidence-backed, so marketing never gets ahead of proof
  • Furniture and durable goods

    Timber, finishes and repair information for furniture

    Furniture and mattresses are on the Commission's plan for product rules, and timber may also fall under deforestation rules.

    • Record timber origin down to the forest region, and the finishing and assembly facilities
    • Attach chain-of-custody certificates and supplier declarations
    • Publish spare parts, repair and disassembly guidance alongside the product
    • Keep one passport per model and batch, with every published version kept
  • Food and agricultural commodities

    Deforestation-free coffee and cocoa

    From 30 December 2026 coffee, cocoa and other commodities must be traced to the plot of land they came from.

    • Record farms, cooperatives, processors and exporters as supply-chain actors
    • Keep origin down to region, locality and farm for every material lot
    • Trace each roasted or finished batch back to every lot that went into it
    • Share a consumer-friendly passport while plot-level detail stays private
  • Industrial and B2B components

    Supplier evidence for customers and auditors

    Business customers increasingly ask for proof of origin, materials and certifications before they buy.

    • Answer customer questionnaires from one record instead of spreadsheets
    • Export CSV and PDF reports of products, suppliers and evidence
    • Show verification states honestly: declared, evidence attached, reviewed or externally verified
    • Keep an audit log of who changed what, and when

Counterfeits and passport misuse

Make fakes easier to spot and copied passports easy to withdraw

A passport customers can check is a deterrent: a counterfeit has to imitate not just the product, but a verifiable record on your official address.

  • Passports only on the official address

    Every passport lives at origentra.techvora.net/passport/… over HTTPS. Customers can check the address a QR code opens; a look-alike page on another domain is not a passport from Origentra.

  • Identifiers that cannot be guessed

    Each passport has a random 22-character identifier, so nobody can find or invent valid passport addresses by counting through numbers.

  • Batch details to compare with the pack

    A passport can show the batch code, production date and origin. When those do not match what is printed on the product, the customer has a reason to question it.

  • Withdraw a passport in seconds

    If a label or QR code is copied onto fake goods, unpublish the passport or publish a corrected version. The change takes effect on the next scan.

  • Versions that show what changed

    Every published version is kept with a SHA-256 fingerprint of its content, so a changed passport can be told apart from the one originally issued.

  • Nothing useful for a copier

    Supplier contacts, prices, logistics references and private documents never appear on a passport, so it cannot be mined to imitate your supply chain.

What a passport cannot do on its own

A QR code can be photographed and printed onto fake goods, and Origentra passports describe a product and batch rather than each individual item. For high-value or frequently copied products, combine the passport with physical protection such as tamper-evident labels, unique serial numbers or security printing, and train customers and retailers to check the passport address and batch details.

Problem materials

Keep substituted, illegal and unverified materials out of your products

Deforestation-linked commodities, conflict minerals, materials made with forced labour and cheaper substitutes usually enter through gaps in the supply-chain record. Closing those gaps is how they are found.

  • Trace every batch back to its inputs

    Trace links connect finished batches to the material lots they were made from, so an unexpected or unknown input shows up as a gap.

  • Chain of custody between companies

    Custody transfers record who held a lot and when it changed hands, making undocumented steps where materials could be substituted visible.

  • Claims need evidence

    A claim such as recycled content or deforestation-free can only be marked reviewed or externally verified when evidence is attached, and editing it sends it back for review.

  • Expired and disputed facts drop out

    Certificates are tracked to their expiry date and shown as expired. Facts marked disputed or superseded are left out of public passports automatically.

Origentra records what you and your suppliers declare and the evidence behind it; it does not independently inspect suppliers or test materials. It gives your due diligence a clear, auditable basis, but it is not a certification and does not by itself make a product compliant with any law.

Give every batch a story your customers can check.

Start with one product and one batch. Record where it came from, attach the evidence you already hold, and publish a passport when you are ready.
