Results

Complex hierarchy challenge

With thousands of products, Vivobarefoot needed to manage:

  • Multiple child barcodes (individual sizes) tied to a single parent style/colour SKU, each with distinct attributes like country of origin and AGEC-specific info
  • ReVivo products needed legacy barcodes and product data added to ensure traceability
  • QR codes needed to be bulk generated and downloaded for printing
  • Their main concern was ensuring country-specific packaging recycling logos and the French product-based AGEC info were displayed correctly
  • They’ve started with the core data needed for compliance, and while the Digital Product Passport (DPP) isn’t yet fully deployed, the system is ready to scale.

Transformative results

Vivobarefoot met their print deadlines and became one of the first global footwear brands to integrate full Digital Product Passport functionality across both new and legacy product lines. Their ReVivo initiative is now supported by live, scannable QR codes that link to unique product-level data – delivering transparency, traceability, and trust to their customers.

Vivobarefoot has taken the right first steps by entering the essential data and future-proofing its packaging with robust QR infrastructure, laying the groundwork to expand consumer content and compliance data over time.

From compliance to circularity, Vivobarefoot is now using Buyerdock’s iQRcode™ solution to future-proof its packaging and empower a more sustainable product journey at scale.
