Our Value Proposition
Through the ProTag APP
VP1: Decreased cost through efficiency
Protag’s AI- and blockchain-powered platform automates the entire Digital Product Passport process — from data collection and classification to lifecycle reporting and compliance documentation. This removes the heavy administrative burden traditionally associated with regulatory reporting, cutting overhead costs and reducing human error. By centralizing and structuring compliance data, clients can eliminate repetitive tasks, speed up reporting cycles, and achieve significant efficiency gains across departments and supply chains.
VP2: Strategic Resource Reallocation
By removing the need for manual compliance work, Protag enables clients to redeploy both staff time and budget toward strategic initiatives that directly drive growth — such as product innovation, market expansion, and R&D. This shift not only boosts productivity but also transforms compliance from a cost center into a value-generating capability. Clients can leverage Protag’s integrated systems to build more transparent, resilient supply chains, strengthening relationships with customers, regulators, and sustainability-focused investors.
VP3: Future-Proof Compliance
Protag equips clients to stay ahead of evolving EU regulations like the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). Its secure blockchain infrastructure ensures verifiable, immutable records, while AI-powered automation adapts to new data requirements and industry standards. This proactive approach reduces the risk of non-compliance, safeguards market access, and positions companies as leaders in transparency and sustainability before regulatory deadlines make action urgent.
At Protag, our three core strengths — Operational Efficiency, Strategic Resource Reallocation, and Future-Proof Compliance — work in unison to deliver measurable impact across the Triple Bottom Line.
-
Profit: Slash compliance costs, free up resources for innovation, and stay market-ready for high-value sectors.
-
Planet: Track every material, cut waste, and design for circularity — all while exceeding EU sustainability targets.
-
People: Eliminate tedious manual work, empower teams to focus on what matters, and earn lasting trust from customers and regulators.
The result: Compliance stops being a burden and becomes a catalyst for growth, sustainability, and stronger stakeholder relationships.
Turning Compliance into a Triple Win
1
DECREASED COST THROUGH EFFICIENCY
How We Do It:
Protag’s platform uses a combination of AI-driven document parsing, natural language processing (NLP), and optical character recognition (OCR) to automatically extract data from supplier documents, CAD files, technical specifications, and compliance certificates. This information is structured into a standardized Digital Product Passport schema and stored securely using blockchain for immutability. The system integrates with clients’ ERP, PLM, and supplier portals via APIs, ensuring data flows in real time without the need for manual re-entry.
How It Adds Value:
-
Time Savings: Manual compliance documentation can consume hundreds of man-hours per year; our automation can reduce this by up to 80%.
-
Error Reduction: Automated extraction and validation rules minimize costly compliance errors and rework.
-
Process Streamlining: Centralized data repositories allow departments (procurement, engineering, quality) to work from a single source of truth.
-
Scalability: Once integrated, the system scales across multiple product lines and geographies without proportional increases in administrative overhead.
How We Do It:
By automating compliance workflows, Protag frees up internal teams from repetitive tasks. We provide analytics dashboards that show compliance status, data completeness, and potential regulatory risks in real time. These dashboards are accessible to all relevant stakeholders — from R&D to procurement — and can be customized to support decision-making beyond compliance, such as supplier selection or lifecycle cost optimization.
How It Adds Value:
-
Unlock Innovation Capacity: Compliance teams can reallocate time to strategic initiatives like ESG strategy, product redesign for circularity, or process optimization.
-
Cross-Functional Insights: Our AI analytics can reveal trends in supplier performance, carbon footprint hotspots, and material reuse opportunities, feeding into innovation and procurement strategies.
-
Competitive Advantage: Clients can bring compliant products to market faster, enabling earlier market entry and differentiation from slower-moving competitors.
-
Investment Attraction: Demonstrating a forward-looking compliance and sustainability capability strengthens ESG credentials, attracting sustainability-focused investors and buyers.

FUTURE-PROOF COMPLIANCE
How We Do It:
Protag is built to adapt dynamically to changing regulatory frameworks such as ESPR, CSRD, REACH, and RoHS. Our modular architecture allows for quick updates to compliance modules without disrupting client workflows. Blockchain-backed smart contracts ensure verifiable data integrity, while our AI models normalize and map supplier data to meet evolving DPP data standards. We also provide proactive alerts when regulatory thresholds are about to be breached or new reporting requirements emerge.
How It Adds Value:
-
Risk Mitigation: Avoid penalties, product recalls, or loss of EU market access due to non-compliance.
-
First-Mover Advantage: Being “compliance-ready” before regulations become mandatory positions clients as industry leaders in transparency.
-
Reduced Transition Costs: Modular updates to our platform mean clients avoid expensive system overhauls when rules change.
-
Market Expansion: Full compliance readiness opens the door to highly regulated, high-margin industries (aerospace, medical devices, defence) without additional system changes.
