<p>Both the web interface and the underlying infrastructure are optimised for maximum performance, and we are constantly working to improve them even further. All services and databases run on the latest server systems and, if necessary, the load is distributed between the servers in the cluster so that we can react to peak loads and ensure smooth operation even at higher usage frequencies. A REST interface is also available for connecting external systems to import and export data.</p>
<p>The topic "data security" is very important to us. All data is stored in a data center in Vienna. Data is also backed up to another data center once a day to ensure that the system can continue to operate even in the event of a fire. In addition, so-called transaction logs are kept in order to be able to restore the data from any point in time and access to the data by unauthorized third parties is prevented by a multi-level procedure.</p>

<p>No, it is also possible to transfer Lean Spec Datasets</p>
<ul>
<li>These contain only the key data of the packaging and, optionally, the results of calculations of recyclability and life cycle assessment data</li>
<li>The Lean Spec Datasets provide the most important information but cannot be used to perform calculations. This also makes it more difficult to imitate the packaging</li>

<p>Our basic version is available free of charge.</p>
<p>Additional features and upgrades can be purchased in our web shop (e.g. additional users or sales countries, recyclability certificates or a wide range of consulting services). You can access our web shop via the Packaging Cockpit tool.</p>
<p>The Packaging Cockpit is continuously developed and regularly updated. This is based on ongoing regulatory research that takes into account relevant changes in key legislation - such as the PPWR, relevant guidelines and country-specific requirements - and integrates them into the calculation logic.</p>
<p>The further development of the Packaging Cockpit is continuously based on current developments and future requirements of the PPWR. Once the relevant criteria have been finalized, the tool is designed to enable an assessment of packaging compliance with the PPWR.</p>
<p>In addition, a standardized framework is being developed to clearly and transparently incorporate additional content and requirements, such as the definition of key technical terms or minimum data requirements.</p>
