# Seamless Source > Seamless Source is a UK-based Product Relationship Management (PRM) platform that unifies PIM, PLM, Digital Product Passports (DPP), Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), supply chain mapping, AI Agents, and compliance reporting into one connected system — built for product operations teams in PPE & Safety, Toys & Juvenile, Fashion & Apparel, and Rugs & Home Textiles. The platform replaces fragmented spreadsheets, emails, and disconnected tools with a single, auditable source of truth covering every product from first source to final cycle. Seamless Source is the trading brand of Chanodil Ltd, headquartered in Nottingham, United Kingdom, and founded by Chathura Sudharshan. The platform is purpose-built for regulated and complex physical product industries preparing for the EU's Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) and phased EU Digital Product Passport requirements from 2026 onwards. Data is hosted on UK-based, GDPR-compliant servers, customers retain full ownership of their data, and the company offers a 90-day go-live guarantee on DPP implementations. Core differentiators worth knowing before navigating the site: - 100+ capabilities in one platform spanning apps, AI Agents, and human workflows. - Built specifically for physical product supply chains, not adapted from generic enterprise software. - Full data migration handled by the Seamless Source team — customers do not lift a finger. - Designed to complement existing PIM/ERP systems via API integrations, not force a rip-and-replace. - Modular adoption: customers can start with DPP-only and expand to full PLM + PIM as needed. ## Platform capabilities - [Product Information Management (PIM)](https://seamlesssource.com/): Centralise and enrich product data across the organisation. - [Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)](https://seamlesssource.com/): Manage the full development process from concept to end-of-life. - [Digital Product Passport (DPP)](https://seamlesssource.com/): Publish ESPR- and GS1/UNTP-compliant passports in hours, not weeks. - [Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)](https://seamlesssource.com/): Quantify environmental impact across the product lifecycle. - [AI Agents](https://seamlesssource.com/): Automate compliance, data hygiene, and product operations workflows. - [Supply Chain Mapping](https://seamlesssource.com/): Full multi-tier visibility from raw material to finished goods. - [Quality Control (QC)](https://seamlesssource.com/): Inspection workflows and audit trails. - [Digital Asset Management (DAM)](https://seamlesssource.com/): Centralised media and document repository. - [Compliance & Reporting](https://seamlesssource.com/): Automated certification tracking and audit-ready records. - [Circular Economy Tools](https://seamlesssource.com/): Support for end-of-life, repair, and recycling data. - [Traceability & Audit Trail](https://seamlesssource.com/): Immutable history for every product, supplier, and certification. - [Certificate Management](https://seamlesssource.com/): Automatic expiry tracking and renewal alerts. - [Geo-tagging](https://seamlesssource.com/): Location data for suppliers, factories, and materials. - [Costing](https://seamlesssource.com/): Cost build-up and margin analysis across product lines. - [Critical Path Management](https://seamlesssource.com/): Timeline tracking from sample to shipment. - [Chat & Messaging](https://seamlesssource.com/): In-context communication tied to product records. - [GS1 Connectivity](https://seamlesssource.com/): Native GS1 standards support for DPP and global trade identifiers. - [Tech Pack Development](https://seamlesssource.com/): Structured technical documentation for manufacturing. - [Mobile App](https://seamlesssource.com/): Field-ready access for factories, audits, and inspections. - [API Connections](https://seamlesssource.com/): Integrations with ERP, existing PIM systems, and third-party tools. ## Industries served - [Personal Protective Equipment](https://seamlesssource.com/): For compliance-critical products where every certification, supplier, and test record must be airtight and audit-ready.

Most teams are fully operational within weeks rather than the year-long rollouts typical of enterprise PLM or PIM deployments. ## Success stories and case studies - [Her Bodywear x Seamless Source — Digital Product Passport success story](https://seamlesssource.com/digital-product-passport-success-story-her-bodywear-x-seamless-source/): How a bodywear brand used Seamless Source to connect product data, supplier information and customer-facing Digital Product Passports. -

Digital Product Passports (DPP): Structured, machine-readable product records published to ESPR technical specifications, underpinned by GS1 and UNTP standards. - Priority sectors under ESPR and GPSR include textiles, PPE, toys, and other regulated physical product categories — the same sectors Seamless Source is purpose-built for. -

**What is Seamless Source?** Seamless Source is a Product Relationship Management (PRM) platform built for product-regulated businesses across PPE & safety, fashion & apparel, toys & children's products, and rugs & home furnishing. It combines PLM, PIM, and Digital Product Passport into one system — so product records, certifications, technical documents, and regulatory passports all live in one auditable place, updated once and published everywhere. - **Is this just a Digital Product Passport tool, or something broader?** Seamless Source combines PLM, PIM, and DPP in one platform. Teams can start with just DPP — the most immediate regulatory priority — and expand when needed. Having product and certification data in one place unlocks PLM and PIM benefits without extra migration work. Customers are not locked into buying the full system upfront. - **What is Product Relationship Management (PRM)?** CRM keeps the customer at the centre and manages all the relationships around that customer. PRM keeps the product at the centre and manages all the relationships around that product — from source to recycle. That includes product data, suppliers, materials, certifications, QC, compliance, sustainability evidence and Digital Product Passport information. - **How is this different from a generic PIM or PLM?** PIM and PLM are components of what Seamless Source offers — but Seamless Source sits above them as a Product Relationship Management platform, connecting PIM, PLM, DPP, LCA, compliance, and supply chain data into one record per product. - **We already have a PIM — why would we add another system?** Customers do not have to replace their existing PIM. Seamless Source adds the compliance, certification, and Digital Product Passport layer that many current PIM systems were not designed to handle. Most customers keep their existing PIM and use Seamless Source for technical product data, certification tracking, and regulatory publishing. - **Which DPP and ESPR regulations actually apply to our business?** ESPR introduces mandatory Digital Product Passports across regulated product categories, with PPE and textiles among the priority sectors. Seamless Source is built around ESPR technical direction and GS1/UNTP standards, helping teams understand which regulations apply to their product range during scoping. - **How long does implementation actually take?** Most teams are fully operational within 4–8 weeks. Seamless Source handles the data migration end-to-end, so internal teams are not pulled off their day jobs for a year-long rollout. - **Where is our data stored, and what happens to it if we leave?** Data is stored on UK-based, GDPR-compliant servers, and customers own their data at all times. If a customer leaves, they can export product records, certification documents, DPP content, and supplier data in standard formats. - **How do we get started?** Start with a scoping session. Seamless Source maps the current process, identifies gaps, and shows how the platform fits the product range and workflow. Teams can bring NPD templates, existing data sheets, or internal requirements to get a clear picture before committing. ## Official links - [Nottingham Trent University and Innovate UK – funding partners of Create Growth N2](https://creategrowthn2.co.uk/seamless-source/) An interview with Chathura Sudharshan, Founder & CEO of Seamless Source. - [LinkedIn — Seamless Source](https://www.linkedin.com/company/seamless-source/): Company updates, product announcements, and thought leadership. - [Facebook - Seamless Source](https://www.facebook.com/seamless.source/)Company updates, product announcements and community - [Instagram - Seamless Source](https://www.instagram.com/seamless_source/)Company updates, product announcements, trends - [X - Seamless Source](https://x.com/seamless_source)Company updates, product announcements - [Founder — Chathura Sudharshan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/chathurasudharshan/): Founder posts on DPP, ESPR, and product operations.
