Apparel and textiles

Every garment deserves a digital identity

Kezzler connects every garment to a single digital identity — giving you real-time visibility across manufacturing and your value chain, control over retail operations and inventory, full Digital Product Passport compliance, and a direct channel to engage consumers.

Industry challenges

The pressures shaping the industry

New regulations, rising consumer expectations, and increasingly complex global value chains are forcing apparel brands to rethink how they capture, connect, and share product data.

The data’s journey

Connect your apparel value chain with Kezzler

A single digital identity follows every garment from the moment it’s made — through your value chain, into the hands of consumers, and beyond.

  1. Manufacturing

    Every garment receives a unique digital identity at production, capturing which factory, which line, and which order.

  2. Distribution

    As garments move through the value chain, every logistics handoff is recorded, giving you real-time visibility across suppliers, warehouses, and distribution partners.

  3. Point of sale

    At retail, the digital identity confirms authenticity, supports staff with accurate product information, and flags grey market diversion before it becomes a problem.

  4. Post-acquisition

    A single scan gives consumers verified information on origin, materials, and sustainability — and gives your brand a direct engagement channel and first-party data.

  5. Resale and recycling

    The digital identity persists beyond the first sale, giving resale platforms, repair services, and recyclers access to trusted product data.

Frequently Asked Questions

Helpful answers to common questions

Yes. Voluntary data points can be added alongside mandatory ones, as long as they don’t compromise data accuracy or the passport’s core functionality, and are clearly distinguished from the required fields.

Scanning a dynamic 2D barcode or GS1 Digital Link on a clothing label connects shoppers directly to brand styling tips, care guides, loyalty rewards, and authentic storytelling. Kezzler transforms physical care labels into dynamic digital touchpoints, delivering real-time scan analytics that provide brands with actionable visibility into consumer engagement and the post-purchase use phase.

Embedding every product with a digital identity that any stakeholder can interact with opens up a wide range of opportunities. At Kezzler, we’ve identified more than 20 use cases across four areas: supply chain, retail operations, customer experience, and regulatory readiness.

The business benefits depend on who you are and how your value chain is structured, so rather than quoting a generic figure, we’d rather work through your own numbers with you to identify the use cases that matter most for your business.

Giving products unique, verifiable identities at production enables end-to-end lifecycle tracking, product authentication, and brand protection. With item-level granularity, brands can detect suspicious scans to combat diversion and counterfeiting, providing vital visibility for customs authorities and retail partners while boosting buyer trust in secondary resale markets.

Ultimately, your Digital Product Passport (DPP) strategy and specific business use cases should dictate identifier granularity, which can be defined at a finer level than minimum regulatory requirements demand.

No. A DPP separates public information, visible to any consumer who scans the code, from restricted data intended for regulators, supply chain partners, or other authorized parties. What counts as public versus restricted is set out in the delegated act for each product category.
