Article passport

The Article Passport feature delivers rich, up-to-date product datasheets both as printable PDFs and as dynamic online pages-so internal teams and external partners always access the latest specifications, images and compliance details in the format they prefer.

Key capabilities

  • On-demand PDF generation
    Create branded, print-ready product passports that include specifications, images, safety data sheets and custom attachments-all laid out in a consistent template.
  • Dynamic online pass link
    Publish a secure, parameterized URL for each SKU or product group: recipients always see the current values, without any need to resend or re-share.
  • Customizable layout & sections
    Tailor which attributes, assets and compliance fields appear on the passport-reorder sections, add your logo, or include marketing highlights.
  • Automated updated
    Every time you update a product record, the online link and newly generated PDFs reflect the changes instantly
  • Access controls & expiry
    Set link passwords, expiration dates or download limits to safeguard sensitive information and manage partner access.

Common use cases

  • Regulatory & compliance submissions
    Instantly produce a full spec-sheet PDF for auditors or certifying bodies, complete with ingredient lists, safety warnings and nutritional tables.
  • Sales & distributor onboarding
    Send your sales team or new distributor a single link to preview up-to-date passports for assigned products-no attachments, no version confusion.
  • Marketing & e-Commerce
    Embed the online passport link on product pages or in email campaigns, giving shoppers in-depth details without bloating your website.
  • Field & retail support
    Print and distribute passport PDFs at tradeshows, in-store kiosks or on-site visits, ensuring every stakeholder has the same, error-free documentation.
