A passport's composition fields come straight from the BOM — and most BOMs are far too coarse for the job.
Integration
PLM and PIM Systems for the DPP
ERP knows the order, PLM knows the product, PIM knows the story. The passport draws on all three.
Integration
ERP Integration for the DPP
Some of your data is already in the ERP. The problem is the shape it sits in — and how it maps to what the passport expects.
Supply Chain
DPP Data Quality Management
A wrong passport is riskier than an incomplete one. How to build quality control into the process rather than bolting it on.
