The process

What is product analysis?

Product Analysis is the process of breaking a product down into the information needed to understand what it is made of, how it is produced and where the available data comes from.

From components to impact insight

A structured product model unlocks reliable lifecycle assessment, compliance and a more transparent value chain.

The problem

You can't assess what you don't understand

No reliable sustainability assessment starts with a carbon number. It starts with understanding the product. Product data is often scattered, incomplete and difficult to trace. Before you can measure impact, you need a clear, connected view of what the product is made of, where it comes from and how it is produced.

  1. Product information often lives across spreadsheets, ERP systems, supplier emails, certificates and PDFs. That makes it difficult to maintain a consistent view of the product. LifeTrace brings these sources together and structures the information around components, materials, suppliers and processes. Instead of searching for data, your team can work from one connected product model.

  2. Material composition is often incomplete, inconsistent or spread across multiple sources. Without a reliable material breakdown, both sustainability claims and LCA results become weaker. LifeTrace structures materials by component and connects them to the underlying product data. This creates a clear foundation for environmental assessment, reporting and communication.

  3. Production processes can have a major influence on environmental impact, yet they are frequently missing from product data. Product Analysis connects each component to the processes used to manufacture it. LifeTrace helps identify and structure these processes, while highlighting where information is still uncertain. The result is a much more complete picture of the product lifecycle.

  4. Missing data is often difficult to see when information is spread across documents and systems. Product Analysis makes those gaps visible early. LifeTrace shows what is known, what is missing and where more information is needed. This helps teams focus their effort where it has the greatest value.

  5. Finding missing data is only the first step. Our copilot can conduct research and suggest plausible materials, manufacturing processes and other missing product details. These suggestions give your team a practical starting point to complete the product model. You can review and refine them, and confirm information with suppliers before relying on it in an assessment.

  6. An environmental impact assessment is only as reliable as the product data behind it. Materials, quantities, processes, suppliers and locations all affect the final result. LifeTrace turns this information into a structured product model that can feed directly into the LCA. Better inputs lead to more defensible environmental results.

  7. Many compliance requirements depend on knowing exactly what a product contains, where it comes from and how it is made. Without structured product data, reporting becomes slow, manual and difficult to verify. LifeTrace creates a traceable product model that can support compliance requirements and Digital Product Passports. The same structured data can then be reused across reporting, sustainability and product communication.

Copilot is typing
  1. You: Hi Copilot, please create a new product for my reusable water bottle based on the product information I've uploaded. Attached files: BillOfMaterials.xlsx, MaterialCertificate.pdf.
  2. Copilot: I've created the product and mapped the components, materials and available supplier data. Would you like me to run a product analysis and identify any gaps? Product created: Reusable water bottle, 4 components and 3 materials.
  3. You: Yes. Check what information is still missing.
  4. Copilot: The main product structure is complete. I'm still missing recycled content for the aluminium, the production location for the seal and a manufacturing process for the cap.
  5. You: Can you help fill those gaps?
  6. Copilot: Yes. I can research likely production processes now and prepare supplier requests for the information that needs confirmation.
