EUDR Compliance Software: Deforestation-Free DD

EUDR is the regulation that forces you to know exactly where every raw material came from — down to the GPS coordinates of the production plot. If you're importing cattle, cocoa, coffee, palm oil, rubber, soya, or wood into the EU, you need geolocation data, legal compliance proof, and risk assessments for every shipment. Not per supplier. Per shipment.

What most companies underestimate: it's not the big growers with mapped plantations that cause the problem. It's the thousands of smallholder farmers who don't have GPS devices. EUDR compliance software won't go to the field and collect coordinates for you, but it'll manage the data once you've got it.

The EUDR Compliance Challenge

Who Is Affected

EUDR applies to any company placing covered commodities or derived products on the EU market — including importers, manufacturers, and online marketplaces.

Commodity Scope Examples
Cattle Beef, leather, hides Meat products, leather goods, footwear
Cocoa Chocolate, cosmetics Confectionery, skincare
Coffee Roasted, instant, green Beverages
Oil palm Palm oil, derivatives Food, cosmetics, biofuels
Rubber Natural rubber, tyres Automotive, industrial
Soya Soybeans, meal, oil Animal feed, food, biodiesel
Wood Timber, pulp, paper Furniture, packaging, printed materials

Due Diligence Requirements

Each shipment requires:

  1. Geolocation data: GPS coordinates of all production plots (±6m precision for plots >4 hectares)
  2. Legal compliance: Proof of production under applicable laws of the country of origin
  3. Risk assessment: Evaluation of deforestation risk, legal compliance risk, and complexity of supply chain
  4. Mitigation measures: For medium- and high-risk products
  5. Due diligence statement: Submitted to competent authorities

The Data Challenge

Requirement Complexity
Geolocation per plot Thousands of smallholder farms per supply chain
Legal documentation Varies by country (land titles, harvest permits, export licences)
Risk assessment Country benchmarks, satellite monitoring data, corruption indices
Statement frequency Per-shipment statements (potentially hundreds per year)
