Overview

Specright is a Los Angeles-based software company, founded in 2014 by Matthew Wright, that describes its platform as the first specification data management (SDM) system. It digitises packaging, product and material specifications into structured records that procurement, quality, sustainability and packaging teams share with suppliers. The company reports more than five million products on its platform and serves food and beverage, CPG, packaging, pharmaceutical, retail and industrial customers.

Packaging is the clearest focus. Specright stores component-level fields such as material type, weight, dimensions, post-consumer recycled content and recyclability, with controlled picklists, duplicate detection and required-field rules to close data gaps. An AI-assisted supplier collaboration module guides suppliers through providing conformity statements, substances of concern documentation and origin data. Gartner listed Specright in an October 2025 Cool Vendors report on AI and data tools for packaging EPR.

In February 2026, at Paris Packaging Week, Specright announced PPWR-aligned templates and a partnership with Lorax EPI for recyclability and compliance intelligence. In July 2026 it released automated PPWR Declaration of Conformity reporting: each finished good receives a compliance tab tracking readiness against PPWR Articles 5 to 12, flagging missing data and rolling up status across components. Specright does not file EPR returns itself; filing runs through Lorax EPI or an EPR partner. Its scope is narrower than full product development PLM, so it often complements formulation or style PLM.

Key capabilities

  • Packaging specification management
  • Component-level material data
  • Supplier collaboration portal
  • PPWR readiness tracking
  • Declaration of Conformity generation
  • EPR and PFAS documentation

Strengths and considerations

Strengths

  • Specright offers some of the most detailed publicly documented PPWR functionality, including article-by-article readiness tracking and Declaration of Conformity output.
  • Structured packaging fields with validation rules address the data quality problems that typically delay EPR and recyclability reporting.
  • A London-based EMEA team and a Lorax EPI partnership support European packaging compliance workflows.

Check before buying

  • The platform centres on specifications and packaging, so organisations needing formulation or apparel design PLM will usually run it alongside another system.
  • EPR and PPWR filings depend on Lorax EPI or another partner, which adds a second contract to manage.
  • Some automation, such as supplier outreach, is sold as a configuration add-on, which affects total cost.

Frequently asked questions about Specright

How does Specright support PPWR?

Specright tracks each finished good against PPWR Articles 5 to 12, flags missing data and documents, rolls compliance status up from components, and assembles a signature-ready Declaration of Conformity with its technical documentation. The capability became available to customers in July 2026, ahead of general application on 12 August 2026.

Is Specright a full PLM system?

Specright positions itself as a specification data management platform with PLM solutions. Its strength lies in packaging, material and product specifications shared with suppliers. Companies that need recipe formulation or apparel design workflows typically connect Specright to a dedicated formulation or style PLM system.

Does Specright have a European presence?

Specright announced the expansion of its EMEA operations in London, led by a Director of EMEA, alongside its July 2026 PPWR release. Its corporate headquarters is in Los Angeles. European buyers should confirm local implementation partners and data hosting arrangements during evaluation.
