We understand that achieving transparency in sourcing practices is crucial for compliance and sustainability. With the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) setting rigorous standards for supply chains, companies must trace commodities down to individual plots of land. In partnership with TraceX’s traceability solutions, we bring you a reliable geo-mapping system designed to simplify compliance while enhancing accountability across the entire supply chain.

TraceX Geo-Mapping for EUDR Compliance

TraceX’s geo-mapping feature not only aids businesses in collecting the required geolocation data but also ensures accuracy in documentation and reporting. This powerful feature enables companies to confidently comply with EUDR requirements, fostering a traceable and transparent supply chain that stands up to regulatory scrutiny.

Key Features of TraceX Geo-Mapping

1. Precise Plot Mapping TraceX enables companies to map each farmer’s exact plot data, recording GPS coordinates with unparalleled precision. Whether managing smallholdings or extensive agricultural land, TraceX digitizes the boundaries of each plot accurately, ensuring a clear understanding of the land’s use and its compliance with EUDR standards.
2. Efficient Data Collection Through TraceX’s user-friendly mobile applications, farmers can easily contribute plot data, even in regions with limited connectivity. The app supports offline data collection, empowering farmers to submit information without needing internet access. This feature streamlines the data collection process, ensuring consistent and accurate information from every participant in the supply chain.
3. Polygon Mapping for Larger Farms For agricultural plots over four hectares, TraceX employs polygon mapping. This technique traces the entire perimeter of each farm, providing a holistic view of the cultivated area. To maintain accuracy, TraceX incorporates quality checks on all mapped polygons, ensuring adherence to EUDR’s high standards for traceability.
4. Integrated Reporting Once verified, the plot data is incorporated into a seamless reporting system that highlights the origin and geolocation of commodities at every stage of the supply chain. This integration not only strengthens supply chain transparency but also contributes to robust reporting capabilities, enabling companies to meet regulatory requirements and demonstrate a solid commitment to responsible sourcing.

By capturing and validating plot data through TraceX’s geo-mapping, companies can ensure an accurate representation of the entire supply chain—from small individual plots to larger farms. This approach not only aligns with EUDR compliance but also establishes a comprehensive framework for ethical traceability that builds trust among consumers and stakeholders.

Conclusion

Polygon mapping, supported by TraceX’s geo-mapping technology, acts as a beacon guiding companies toward sustainable supply chain management. By providing the tools to trace and verify sourcing practices, polygon mapping allows businesses to maintain compliance with ethical standards and regulatory mandates. Although challenges persist, the environmental and social benefits are considerable. As geospatial technology advances, polygon mapping is poised to become an industry standard, transforming deforestation-free supply chains from an ideal into a reality.
