For producers

What a Product Information Producer (PIP) does on PIE, and where to go for each task.

A Product Information Producer (PIP) manages structured product data and controls which buyers can access it. If you are a food cooperative, farm, or processor, this is your side of the platform.

What you can do

  • Manage products — create products manually or via AI ingestion, version every change, and localize attributes per market. See the Products guide.
  • Score quality and check compliance — author completeness profiles and evaluate products against DACH regulations, per locale. See the Quality & compliance guide.
  • Get GS1-ready and publish to GDSN — validate GTIN/GLN, map to the GS1 Global Data Model, and exchange via a data pool. See the GS1 & GDSN guide.
  • Publish Digital Product Passports — build ESPR-aligned passports with QR / Digital Link. See the DPP guide.
  • Gate publishing with workflows — configurable approval flows with SLAs and parallel approvals. See the Workflow guide.
  • Syndicate to channels and portals — transform and deliver product data to marketplaces, flat files, catalogs, and brand portals. See the Syndication guide.
  • Enrich with AI — generate descriptions, SEO, and translations; bring your own model keys. See the AI guide.
  • Administer your organisation — team, roles, billing, notifications, SSO/MFA, and API keys. See the Org admin guide.

Grant, don't share

Your products are private by default. You expose specific products to specific buyers through grants — nothing is visible to a buyer until you grant it. The multi-tenancy concept explains how isolation is enforced.
