Introduction
As a sustainability consultant, your expertise is in high demand. However, the work can be incredibly time-consuming, with manual data collection and complex, project-based work for each client. To scale your business and take on more clients, you need to transition from a manual service to a scalable solution. A Digital Product Passport platform is the key to making that leap. This guide will show you how a technology-first approach can help you grow your practice.
The Challenges of a Manual Consultancy
-
Time-Intensive Work: Performing a full Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) manually is a marathon. It involves countless hours of data collection and analysis, which limits your ability to take on new clients.
-
Limited Scope: Your work is often a one-time project for a single client, making it difficult to create a recurring revenue stream.
-
Lack of Automation: Without a scalable solution, you can't offer your clients a real-time, dynamic service that continues to provide value after the initial project is complete.
Automated LCA: The Engine for Your Growth
The Digital Product Passport is built on LCA data, and by using an automated platform, you can change your business model. Instead of doing all the work yourself, you can use a solution that automates the most time-consuming parts of the process. This frees you up to focus on what you do best: providing high-level strategic advice to your clients.
-
Faster Client Onboarding: Automated data integration means you can onboard new clients in a fraction of the time.
-
Real-Time Insights: Provide your clients with a live dashboard that gives them continuous insights into their product's environmental footprint.
-
Recurring Revenue: Offer a platform-as-a-service model, creating a new, predictable revenue stream for your business.
Becoming a Partner: From Service to Solution
By partnering with a Digital Product Passport provider, you can transition from a project-based consultancy to a value-added reseller. You can offer your clients a world-class platform, powered by your expertise. This means you can:
-
Expand Your Services: Offer a new, in-demand service to your existing and future clients.
-
Increase Your Value: Go beyond a one-time report and provide a continuous solution that your clients can use to manage compliance and sustainability.
-
Grow Your Practice: Take on more clients without a proportional increase in your workload.
