The Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) imposes new requirements on businesses regarding packaging data, documentation and cooperation with suppliers. The aim of the EU regulation is to reduce packaging waste, promote recycling and create a more sustainable circular economy.

With Certiflow, companies can provide digital support for the implementation of the PPWR:

• Automatic requesting and management of supporting documents
• Centralised overview of supplier status and documents
• Audit-proof documentation of all information

This ensures that PPWR-related processes are mapped in Certiflow in an efficient, transparent and audit-ready manner.

There, users can find all the key information about Certiflow’s features – clearly organised and explained in simple terms. The documentation serves as a digital handbook where processes, modules and operating steps can be looked up at any time.

Whether for new users or as a quick reference in day-to-day work, the online documentation helps you use Certiflow even more efficiently and map quality processes in the best possible way.

Certiflow automatically analyses laboratory reports using artificial intelligence. Laboratory results are reliably extracted from PDFs, images and all common document formats and recorded in a structured manner - without the need for manual data entry.

Internal limit values and product specifications can be entered directly into Certiflow. Laboratory results received from laboratories or suppliers are automatically compared against these specifications, and any deviations are identified immediately.

In addition, sensory test parameters and manually recorded quality characteristics can be included in the assessment. Based on the results, Certiflow automatically generates test reports and supports the entire product approval process.

This means that a large part of the quality control and product approval process is managed centrally in Certiflow - documented in an audit-proof manner, traceable at all times and optimally prepared for audits.

The Certiflow team is constantly expanding and enhancing the AI features. All AI features can be used by Certiflow customers for their specific use cases.

The Certiflow team is taking the next step towards growth and innovation: in NordIQ we have secured a strong new partner who will play an active role in shaping the further development and roll-out of our solutions in the future.

The collaboration is underpinned by shared values - efficiency, digitalisation and forward-thinking. Both sides are contributing their respective strengths to provide even more targeted support to customers and to bring about sustainable improvements to processes in the certification and compliance sector. Particularly in a dynamic market environment, this partnership is an important step towards responding even more flexibly to requirements and driving new initiatives.

The Certiflow team is looking forward with great anticipation to its shared future with NordIQ. Initial discussions and exchanges have already demonstrated how well the collaboration works and the potential inherent in the partnership. The task now is to harness this momentum and take the next steps together.

With NordIQ at its side, Certiflow is not only strengthening its network but also laying the foundations for further growth, innovative solutions and long-term success.

The Certiflow team had a strong presence at BIOFACH 2026 and made the most of the trade fair to engage directly with the industry.

The focus was on numerous in-depth discussions, both with existing customers and with many new prospects. It quickly became clear just how great the demand is for digital, efficient solutions in the certification and compliance sector. The discussions were characterised by the identification of specific challenges, exciting insights and a high level of interest in our modern and scalable approaches.

The high quality of the contacts was particularly pleasing. Numerous genuine opportunities for future collaboration emerged. The consistently positive feedback shows that Certiflow’s approach precisely meets the industry’s current needs.

The BIOFACH 2026 was therefore not just a trade fair appearance for Certiflow, but a resounding success with lasting value. Thank you for the pleasant conversations, the constructive dialogue and the trust.

The Certiflow platform has been enhanced with another powerful feature: from now on, product specifications can be mapped even more easily, in a more structured and efficient manner.

Laboratory results and quality parameters can now be recorded as key attributes and directly linked to one another. This creates a clear, consistent database in which all relevant product information is clearly consolidated. This not only reduces manual effort but also ensures maximum transparency in quality assurance.

A particular added value lies in automatic document generation: based on the stored data, Certiflow independently generates professional PDFs with corporate branding that contain all key information; optimally formatted for suppliers and customers. Thus, complex data is transformed into a clear, immediately usable product specification with a single click.

With this new feature, Certiflow takes another step towards the end-to-end digitalisation of quality and certification processes and offers companies a solution that not only manages data but actively transforms it into added value.
