Verifying product compliance before products go on sale.
Dock Labs worked with Digital Product Regulatory Innovation Network (DPRIN) to demonstrate how online marketplaces can verify product compliance information from manufacturers, sellers, and third parties before accepting a listing.
Verifiable evidenceDigitally signedProduct compliance can be hard to verify before listing.
Compliance evidence can come from manufacturers, sellers and third parties. When it is scattered across different documents and organizations, marketplaces may struggle to check it before products are listed.
DPRIN explored how to bring digital evidence checks into the listing process.
One product. Multiple sources of compliance information.
DPRIN and Dock Labs built an e-bike compliance demo using Truvera. It showed how a seller can collect verifiable compliance information from different organizations and present it for marketplace checks before listing.
“Checking products sold online has been put in the ‘too difficult’ box for years, but through this innovative use of verifiable credentials, we found the Truvera platform to be ready-made to meet the complex business requirements our consortium had been exploring.”
A more proactive model for product compliance.
Verify evidence before listing.
Marketplaces can check verifiable credentials within the product-listing workflow.
Bring multiple sources into one process.
Manufacturers, sellers and third parties can supply evidence without every record having to come from a single organization.
Give sellers control of the records they present.
The DPRIN model used seller-held organizational wallets and associated credentials with specific products or batches, rather than relying only on product-model-level records.
Where does product compliance slow down your workflow?
If compliance evidence needs to move between manufacturers, sellers, marketplaces and regulators, Dock Labs can help identify where verifiable credentials could fit.
