Comparison
A PDF on your website, a QR code generator or a product passport platform?
Each approach makes sense in a different situation. Below is a comparison without company names — based on what happens to the product after the sale.
A PDF on your website, a QR code generator or a product passport platform?
| — | PDF on your website | QR code generator | DPP / PIM platform | Itemoo |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The code always leads to the same address — even after a website rebuild | no | partly | yes | yes |
| Update a document without reprinting labels | partly | partly | yes | yes |
| Version history and the version valid for each batch | no | no | partly | yes |
| Recall with a warning on scan and a reach counter | no | no | partly | yes |
| Machine-readable data (JSON-LD, API) | no | no | yes | yes |
| GS1 Digital Link (one code for the till and the product page) | no | partly | partly | yes |
| Start without an IT department, from the PDFs you already have | yes | yes | no | yes |
| Rich management of thousands of attributes across many channels | no | no | yes | partly |
“Partly” means: it depends on the vendor or takes extra work. Platforms differ — compare specific offers against this list.
When NOT to choose Itemoo
- You need a full PIM for thousands of attributes across many channels — then the PIM stays the data source and Itemoo can be the code and product page layer (CSV import, API from the Pro plan).
- You require ISO 27001 certification or a SOC 2 report from your vendor today — Itemoo does not have them yet.
- You want the vendor to register devices in EUDAMED or passports in the EU registry on your behalf — we do not do that.
Bring one product. Leave with a working code.
For the demo we take your product’s documents, import them live, and show you the finished product page together with a code you can scan immediately. Thirty minutes, no slide deck.
No card, no commitment, no fifteen-email sales funnel.
