Spreadsheets everywhere
Product, material, supplier, emissions, and certification data sit in disconnected files with no shared workflow.
Supplier sustainability evidence operations
Collect supplier data without chasing spreadsheets.
Kohlvex turns fragmented product, supplier, and compliance files into structured evidence workflows for traceability review, supplier follow-up, sustainability evidence management, and DPP-ready outputs.
DPP is not the starting point. Clean supplier evidence is. Kohlvex helps teams organize the work before outputs are generated.

The real problem
Supplier data is operational work, not just reporting.
Compliance outputs fail when product evidence is scattered across email threads, spreadsheets, PDFs, certificates, and supplier replies that all use different field names.
Missing fields are hard to close
Suppliers need specific requests with product context, field names, and acceptable evidence, not generic questionnaires.
Outputs depend on the same data
Traceability reviews, sustainability evidence packs, customer audits, and DPP-ready records all depend on clean supplier data.
Platform
A workflow layer for supplier sustainability data.
Kohlvex helps teams collect files, map fields, review gaps, request missing evidence, and prepare structured outputs for traceability, sustainability, and DPP workflows.
Supplier file collection
Bring supplier sheets, declarations, ERP exports, BOMs, ESG files, PDFs, CSVs, XLSX files, and JSON into one workspace.
Field mapping
Map unstandardized supplier columns into a working sustainability data model using deterministic aliases and reviewable logic.
Validation and gaps
Flag missing product, supplier, material, origin, emissions, recycled content, certification, and traceability fields.
Supplier follow-up
Turn missing fields into focused requests so teams know exactly what needs to come back from suppliers.
Evidence tracking
Keep upload batches, extracted fields, mapped columns, evidence attachments, and workflow history connected to each workspace.
Compliance-ready outputs
Prepare structured readiness records, QR-linked pages, JSON exports, PDF downloads, and product-level completeness views.
Product-line templates
One core record. Different sector evidence.
Your documents are clear on this: Kohlvex should not claim one universal DPP form solves every category. The right architecture is a common passport core with product-line modules that reflect how regulation and evidence requirements differ by sector.
The clearest near-term DPP category, with public and restricted information layers, lifecycle data, evidence requirements, and a mandatory passport timeline for key battery types.
High-priority for ESPR. Kohlvex should help teams collect fibre composition, material origin, supplier evidence, durability, repairability, and circularity data before final delegated acts lock every field.
Track repairability, spare parts, hazardous substance evidence, RoHS, WEEE, REACH/SCIP, declarations of conformity, and product documentation in one workflow.
Treat packaging as a data layer attached to the product record: material breakdown, recyclability, recycled content, EPR information, labels, and sorting instructions.
For covered goods, store installation-level emissions, embedded carbon evidence, verification reports, CN-code context, and audit-ready calculation support.
Support sector-specific data packs, material composition, hazardous substance disclosures, SDS references, assembly/disassembly evidence, and lifecycle documentation.
Evidence model
The evidence store is not an attachment bucket.
Your regulatory guide says this clearly: evidence is a legal compliance layer. Kohlvex should connect each claim to source documents, extracted fields, mappings, validation results, timestamps, and version history.
Document store
Structured passport records, JSON-ready outputs, category modules, public/private layers, and stable product identifiers.

Evidence object store
Supplier declarations, EPDs, PCF/LCA files, certificates, conformity documents, lab reports, and file hashes connected to product records.

Compliance and security
Built around trust, not just publishing.
EU DPP architecture is not just about a QR code. It points toward machine-readable records, open standards, role-based visibility, long-term availability, backup continuity, authentication, and controlled access rights.
Public and restricted data layers
Consumers, authorities, repairers, recyclers, operators, and internal teams should not all see the same information. Kohlvex should support role-aware views as the product matures.
Publishability before publication
The product should score readiness and block production-grade outputs when mandatory fields or evidence are missing, while still allowing draft review records.
Versioned, living records
A DPP is not a one-time PDF. Product evidence changes, supplier data improves, and some sectors need updates over time. Kohlvex should preserve versions rather than overwriting history.
Readiness context
The work starts before a passport exists.
EU product rules are moving toward more structured sustainability, circularity, and traceability information. For most teams, the hard part is not creating a QR page. The hard part is collecting evidence from suppliers and knowing what is missing.
Product data
Identifiers, category, material composition, origin, supplier, and manufacturing context need to be organized before outputs can be trusted.
Evidence files
Declarations, certificates, EPDs, PCF/LCA files, BOMs, ERP exports, ESG sheets, and supplier replies need to stay connected to the product record.
Gaps and owners
Missing fields should become operational tasks with supplier context, due dates, statuses, and a clear audit trail.
Reusable outputs
The same structured data can support traceability review, sustainability evidence packs, customer requests, and DPP-ready exports.
ESPR creates the framework for product sustainability information and Digital Product Passports.
CBAM and CSRD/ESRS increase pressure for traceable, explainable supplier and emissions data.
Kohlvex focuses on the operational layer: files, fields, evidence, issues, requests, and outputs.
Data library
What Kohlvex helps teams collect and review.
The platform should not pretend incomplete data is complete. It should show what exists, what source it came from, and what still needs supplier follow-up.
What the product is
Product ID and product name
Product category and material type
Bill of materials and component details
Country of origin and manufacturing context
What can be proven
Recycled content and material composition
Product carbon footprint and emissions values
EPD, LCA, PCF, and certification evidence
Substances, compliance notes, and declarations
What still needs action
Missing fields by product and supplier
Validation issues with timestamps and source files
Supplier requests for missing evidence
Completeness score and readiness history
Why this is different
Not just a passport page. The workflow behind it.
A public DPP is only useful when the underlying supplier data is collected, mapped, reviewed, and kept current. Kohlvex is designed around that operational work.
Bring messy files together
Upload supplier sheets, ESG exports, declarations, evidence PDFs, and product files without forcing every supplier into one perfect template first.
Know what is missing
Map fields, flag gaps, show completeness, and turn missing data into supplier follow-ups instead of hiding uncertainty.
Generate outputs when ready
Once evidence is strong enough, create structured records, exports, QR-linked pages, and DPP-ready outputs from the same data foundation.
Step 01
Upload what already exists.
Start with ERP exports, BOM files, material sheets, supplier declarations, certificates, ESG files, or EPD and PCF evidence.
Step 02
Structure the data.
Kohlvex maps messy fields into a working supplier data model so teams can review data instead of rebuilding spreadsheets.
Step 03
Resolve the gaps.
Missing fields become validation issues and supplier follow-ups with product context, source file, field name, and timestamp.
Step 04
Generate outputs.
When evidence is strong enough, teams can generate structured records and exports for traceability review, sustainability reporting, and DPP readiness.
Use cases
Built for teams turning supplier data into action.
Manufacturers preparing supplier data
Organize product, material, and supplier evidence before compliance requirements become last-minute operational pressure.
Manufacturers collecting product evidence
Track which fields are complete, which documents are attached, and where supplier responses are still needed.
Consultants running readiness pilots
Use workspaces, issue lists, and exports to show clients where their supplier data is strong and where gaps remain.
Make supplier work visible.
Teams can see which evidence exists, where the chain breaks, and which supplier follow-ups are needed before any output is generated.
Trust without theatre
Clear about what Kohlvex is today.
In development: Kohlvex is an early-stage product being shaped through pilots and real supplier-data workflows.
No fake claims: We do not claim regulatory certification, customer logos, or production scale that does not exist.
Practical focus: The current product helps teams upload files, map fields, validate records, create supplier requests, and generate readiness outputs.
About
Why Kohlvex exists.
Kohlvex started from a simple observation: sustainability data collection is often treated like a reporting problem, but the daily work is operational. Someone has to ask suppliers for the right fields, check the answers, chase evidence, and keep the product record current.
The mission is to make supplier data workflows easier for textile and manufacturing companies, especially teams that still depend on spreadsheets and document folders.
Kohlvex is founder-led, early, and intentionally focused on clarity: fewer dashboards for their own sake, more structured work that helps teams know what is complete, what is missing, and what to ask for next.
Careers

Clear answers before a pilot call.
Kohlvex should help teams understand the work, not just promise a dashboard.
Is Kohlvex only a DPP generator?
No. The stronger positioning is supplier sustainability data operations. DPP-ready records are an output of the workflow, after product and supplier evidence has been collected, mapped, and reviewed.
What happens when data is incomplete?
The system should not silently generate a perfect-looking record. Missing fields become validation issues and supplier requests, with product context, source file, field name, status, and timestamp.
Can suppliers upload data over time?
Yes. The product direction is workspace-based: upload initial ERP or BOM data, identify gaps, request supplier evidence, upload replies, and track completeness improvement over time.
What files can be used?
The current direction supports CSV, XLSX, JSON, PDF, ERP exports, BOM files, supplier declarations, ESG sheets, CBAM-related files, EPD, PCF, and LCA evidence where extractable.
Does Kohlvex replace regulatory advice?
No. Kohlvex is operational software for organizing supplier and product evidence. Legal interpretation and final compliance decisions should remain with the company and its advisors.
