Timber origin and EUDR data traceability system
The team links a lot of wood to the place of origin and movement documents. This data helps with checks for a specific product and supplier's role.
The plot, crossing permit, exchange, slicer, transport document, measurement, buyer and next batch are recorded in separate systems. It is difficult to provide reliable proof of origin, legality and risk of deforestation quickly.
How the solution works
- Set a requirement application for a specific stream
- Collecting the basis for place of origin and legality
- Link batch formation and movement
- Conduct an applied risk and deficiency review
- Transfer the right data package and maintain corrections
Key challenges
- Chain of origin and geographical traceability of wood fragmented
Solution capabilities
Scope
The EU Regulation on products not related to deforestation (EUDR) does not apply equally to all roles. The scope of the product, the role of the company and the existing arrangements are checked before the submission is designed.
Location and Law
The geographical origin is associated with actual timber and proper legality documents. The map point or copy of the permit alone does not confirm the entire chain.
batch Relations
Fragmentation and joining preserve all true sources. Checking the quantity prevents the wood of uncertain origin from being replaced by documents of the same mass.
Review and Recipient
Automatic completeness checking is separated from the risk conclusion. The certificate may be part of the proof, but does not in itself replace the applicable duties.
Business context
- Chain of origin and geographical traceability of wood fragmented
- The plot, crossing permit, exchange, slicer, transport document, measurement, buyer and next batch are recorded in separate systems. It is difficult to provide reliable proof of origin, legality and risk of deforestation quickly.
- Reasonable origin data provided to the timber buyer
- The buyer can request information linking the wood to the place of origin and supply documents. Regular batch relations facilitate this submission and its amendments. For each transaction, the requirements applicable to the product and the company's role are checked. The collected data must be reviewed before discharge is confirmed.

Potential impact (%)
The ranges indicate an illustrative relative change in the metric under the stated assumptions. Results depend on the starting position and actual use of the solution. Percentages for different metrics must not be added together.
Preparation work of the origin package
12–36%Decreasing
This illustrative scenario assumes that 30-60% of manual data entry and handover work can be addressed. That share is assumed to fall by 40-60%. Company data is needed to verify both the addressable workload and the resulting change.
Measure active working minutes for the preparation of a specific buyer or control data package.
Chain of Origin Gap
5–25%Decreasing
This illustrative scenario assumes that 20-50% of missed actions can be identified through task and deadline tracking. That share is assumed to fall by 25-50%. Company data is needed to verify both the addressable share and the resulting change.
Count the batches checked with an unexplained origin link.
Share of completed checks on timber purchasers after receipt of documents
2–6%Increasing
Sample starting portion - 70%. Assumption: 15-30% of the remaining cases relate to missing timber origin data for buyer review; a solution would help resolve 25-50% of these cases.
Completed reviews of documents are divided by all peer-to-peer reviews initiated by buyers. Completion of a document review does not automatically confirm overall compliance.
Conditional calculation scenarios. The assumptions have not been validated against client measurements.
When this solution is relevant
- The data and documents of timber origin must be collected anew before the sale.
- Combining or redistributing lots of wood makes it difficult to identify all their sources of origin.
Implementation requirements
The professionals responsible for timber traceability determine the role of the company and the scope of the applicable requirements. Proofs of origin and legality are linked to lots, their division and information passed on to buyers.
Further expansion
- Other products and chain roles after actual application and review of the recipient interface.
