DPP provider or your own software?
Outsourced provider or your own build
The question is not whether, but how
The Digital Product Passport is coming for your product group — that much is settled. The real decision is how to do it: outsource the burden to a DPP provider, or buy software and build and maintain the passports yourself. The choice depends on your volume, your in-house resources and how close your deadline is.

When each fits
Your own software makes sense
If you have a large in-house IT and regulatory team, very specific needs and enough time before the deadline.
A provider makes sense
If you want speed, predictable costs and someone to carry the regulatory burden for you.
A hybrid approach
Often you start with a provider for speed and gradually take parts in-house — with no disruption.
The data is yours either way
With WIARA you are not locked in — the passports and data stay your property, on open standards.

Frequently asked questions
No. The data and passports stay yours, on open standards (GS1, the EU registry), so you can migrate or take it in-house.
Rarely, once you count the full cost — team, development, maintenance and risk. A provider spreads that into a predictable subscription.
Yes, that's a common path. You start fast and later bring parts in-house, without losing the data.
