1. Technology overview
Kezzler AS is a Norwegian software company founded in Oslo in 2001. It provides a connected products platform that gives each item a unique digital identity, used for traceability, brand protection, consumer engagement and regulatory product passports.
Kezzler Digital Product Passport generates and manages passports from one product data set mapped to each regulation or market, with approval workflows, completeness checks and passport status tracking. Data can be entered manually or via open GS1-based APIs, and the on-pack QR code doubles as a consumer engagement and anti-counterfeiting channel. Customers include Roche, FrieslandCampina, Migros and Holzweiler.
