At STC, we've spent years building a more transparent, connected and efficient retail industry. Today, we're taking a major step forward by announcing our strategic partnership with Tappr, a leading provider of Digital Product Passport (DPP) solutions.
Together, we've launched DPP 360°, a solution that combines our RFID technologies with the power of the Digital Product Passport to give brands complete product traceability and deliver a completely new digital experience for consumers. Because for us, data is more than just an operational tool—it's the key to creating real value in every interaction.
A solution built for the future of retail
DPP 360° is much more than a compliance tool. It's a value driver that transforms every product into a living digital experience. With a simple scan, consumers gain access to:
-
Complete traceability: from raw materials through every stage of production, distribution and sale.
-
Authentic brand storytelling: every product tells its own story, aligned with the brand's values.
-
Circularity and sustainability: useful information about product care, recycling and second-life opportunities.
-
Personalised content: from styling recommendations to exclusive offers and loyalty experiences.
All of this is delivered through a modular, dynamic and fully customisable platform. Because every brand connects with its customers differently, and every consumer interacts with products in their own way.
Why this partnership?
At STC, we've always believed that technology should enhance the customer experience. Our RFID solutions go far beyond logistics—they transform stores into connected, interactive and more efficient environments.
Tappr shares that same vision. Its Digital Product Passport platform not only helps brands comply with upcoming regulations, but also creates new opportunities for meaningful engagement between brands and consumers.
Together, we're creating a unique ecosystem designed for the future of retail, where traceability becomes both a competitive advantage for brands and a valuable service for customers.
“At STC, we believe the future of retail is closely linked to traceability and sustainability. That's why our partnership with Tappr combines its Digital Product Passport solution with our RFID technologies, creating the perfect synergy for retailers.
Together, we're providing a powerful set of tools to help brands meet the evolving expectations of today's consumers".
Xavi Garcia, CEO of STC
“I'm incredibly excited about our new partnership with STC. Their deep expertise in RFID and strong presence in the retail sector across Spain and Portugal perfectly complement our vision at Tappr. We share the commitment to delivering lasting value for both brands and consumers.
By combining STC's local expertise and technology with our Digital Product Passport platform, we're creating truly connected product experiences".
Bas van der Pol, CEO of Tappr
Beyond compliance: leading the transition to a more sustainable and connected retail industry
The ESPR (Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation) is already underway. From 2027, the Digital Product Passport will become mandatory for many products sold within the European Union, with textiles among the first categories affected.
Brands will be required to demonstrate, in a verifiable way, compliance with environmental, social and traceability requirements throughout the entire value chain.
At STC, we don't wait for regulations to catch up with us. We prepare in advance and help brands turn compliance into an opportunity to stand out, differentiate themselves and build stronger relationships with their customers.
The transformation has already begun.
And we're ready.
ESPR Update: Priorities and Key Dates
This is only the beginning
We're continuing to drive the digital transformation of retail across Spain, Portugal and beyond. And we're doing it with the same conviction that has guided us from the very beginning: technology should connect people, not complicate their lives.
We're convinced this partnership marks the beginning of a new way of thinking about products, brands and consumers.

We're ready.
