Five Ways Trimble Sources Can Make EUDR Compliance Easier for You and Your Suppliers
As a forestry buyer, the European Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) mandates clear traceability of your timber’s origin. Non-compliance isn’t just a risk; it could disrupt your supply chain and jeopardize access to European markets. To ensure uninterrupted operations and continued international sales, efficiently gathering specific timber origin data from your suppliers is paramount.
For EUDR compliance, you’ll need the exact geographic location (point or boundary) of the land and the specific timeframe of the timber harvest.
How Trimble Sources Powers Your EUDR Compliance:
Here are five powerful ways the Sources app simplifies EUDR compliance for both you and your suppliers:
-
Streamline Harvest Data Collection: Easily define and capture crucial harvest timeframes and details directly within the Add Source feature, ensuring accurate and compliant records.
-
Pinpoint Exact Origin: Utilize the Place feature to accurately capture the precise location (geographic coordinates or property boundaries) of wood fiber, delivering essential traceability.
-
Enhance Supply Chain Coordination: Create and share Allocation Plans leveraging deliveries based on mill consumption for timber distribution and volumes to facilitate clear, efficient communication between suppliers and buyers.
-
Centralize Compliance Documentation: Securely upload and manage vital contract and ownership documentation within the Compliance feature, ensuring adherence to local and international regulations.
-
Secure Long-Term Data Retention: Trust our cloud-hosted app to securely retain your Sources information for five years or more, providing readily accessible data for any compliance verification or audits.
Empower Your Supply Chain Through Collaboration
The optimal time to integrate this information is at the inception of new timber procurement agreements. However, if new contracts aren’t on the horizon, the time to act is now.
Take the Next Step: Engage Your Suppliers
We encourage you to select a key supplier and initiate a pilot program with the Trimble Sources App. Choose an active harvest contract and guide your supplier through providing the necessary Source information within the app.
For instance, you might instruct: “For Harvest Contract A, please use the Add Source feature to enter all required data. Crucially, define the property boundary (point or polygon) via the Place feature. Then, share an Allocation Plan to detail the wood designated for us.”
