Technology Solutions for EUDR Compliance
Technology Solutions for EUDR ComplianceThe EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) requires companies importing covered commodities — coffee, cocoa, soy, palm oil, rubber, cattle, and wood — into the European market to demonstrate that their products were not produced on land deforested after December 31, 2020.
Brainstack Technologies has hands-on experience integrating supply chain traceability systems with ERP platforms and geospatial data sources for agricultural sustainability. We help importers and their supply chain partners build the technology infrastructure required for EUDR compliance — from field-level data collection through satellite verification to automated regulatory reporting.
Enforcement Timeline (Updated December 2025)
- 30 December 2026: Large and medium-sized operators and traders must be fully compliant; due diligence statements submitted via TRACES NT before market entry.
- 30 June 2027: Micro and small operators gain an additional six-month window with a one-off simplified declaration.
- 30 April 2026: European Commission simplification review assessing administrative burden on smaller operators.
What Changed Under the December 2025 Amendment
- Downstream operators no longer file separate due diligence statements; responsibility rests with the first placer.
- Country risk benchmarking active: low, standard, and high-risk categories with 1% / 3% / 9% competent authority checks.
- Printed products (Chapter 49 CN) removed from scope.
- Risk-tiered checks scaled to country classification.
What This Means for Your Compliance Timeline
The postponement does not weaken requirements. Geolocation, traceability, and deforestation verification remain mandatory. Use the additional time to build and test systems — organisations that start collecting plot-level data now will be best positioned for enforcement.

How can we help
01Geospatial Deforestation Verification
We build systems that ingest geolocation coordinates for production plots, retrieve historical Sentinel-2 satellite imagery from the Copernicus program, compute vegetation indices (NDVI and related metrics) to quantify forest cover over time, and apply change detection algorithms to identify deforestation events after the regulatory cutoff date.
Plots flagged for potential deforestation are routed to a risk assessment workflow for human review and decision-making.

02Polygon Mapping & QA
For plots above four hectares, EUDR requires polygon boundaries. We convert field GPS traces into high-quality polygons, snap vertices to realistic boundaries, validate CRS and topology, and flag self-intersections or slivers before submission.
Deliverables include GeoJSON/ESRI Shapefile exports, area/centroid validation, and automated QA checks that guide field teams to recollect only when tolerances are breached.

03Supply Chain Traceability
EUDR requires tracing commodities from the production plot through every intermediary to the point of EU market entry. We build traceability systems that create digital records at the point of origin linking each batch to its production plot, maintain chain-of-custody records at each supply chain transaction, and handle mass balance for commodities that are blended during processing (common in coffee, cocoa, and palm oil).
Integration with your existing ERP system ensures traceability data flows naturally into operational workflows.
Let's Chat04ERP Integration (Odoo, Zoho, Salesforce)
Compliance data must flow into the systems your business already uses. We have specific experience integrating EUDR compliance modules with Odoo ERP, including custom modules for purchase order geolocation linking, supplier compliance status tracking, and automated deforestation screening triggered by procurement workflows.
We also work with Zoho and Salesforce (Sales/Service Cloud) via API middleware to surface compliance status, geolocation, and risk scores inside your existing procurement and CRM workflows.

05Offline-First Field Data Collection
Collecting geolocation and farm-level data at the point of origin often means working in areas with limited or no internet connectivity. We have proven experience building offline-first progressive web applications (PWAs) for field data collection in rural agricultural communities.
Applications capture data reliably without connectivity and sync when a connection becomes available.
Get Started
06Regulatory Reporting and Audit Trails
We build automated due diligence statement generation formatted according to EU specifications. Internal audit trails document every step of the compliance process.
Management dashboards show compliance status across your supply chains, and risk assessment reports include supporting evidence for regulatory inspection.
Learn MoreEUDR Implementation Approach
We recommend a phased approach that prioritizes data collection first, because geolocation and traceability data takes time to accumulate across your supply chains.
Data Collection & ERP Integration
We establish geolocation data collection at the point of origin and integrate traceability into your ERP. Purchase orders, supplier batches, and production plots are linked digitally so chain-of-custody records flow automatically.
Deforestation Verification
We add deforestation verification using Sentinel-2 satellite imagery via Copernicus. Vegetation indices and change detection algorithms identify deforestation events after the regulatory cutoff date.
Risk Assessment Workflow
Plots flagged for potential deforestation are routed to a risk assessment workflow. Human reviewers evaluate evidence, approve or escalate, and document decisions for compliance audits.
Regulatory Reporting
We implement automated due diligence statement generation formatted according to EU specifications. Management dashboards show compliance status across your supply chains.
Audit Trails & Evidence
Internal audit trails document every step of the compliance process. Risk assessment reports include supporting evidence for regulatory inspection.
Adapting to Change
Iterative compliance readiness — so you're prepared before the deadline, not scrambling at it.
Start With the Highest-Risk Gaps
We sequence readiness by impact: geolocation completeness, deforestation validation, legality checks, and DDS readiness, focusing first where regulatory downside is highest.
