Problem
Many companies struggle to efficiently track the origin of their products and raw materials, hindering their ability to comply with the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and demonstrate sustainable sourcing practices. The complexity of multi-tiered supply chains makes it difficult to gather and manage the necessary geolocation data and compliance documentation.
Solution
Farmer Connect provides an end-to-end traceability platform designed to streamline EUDR compliance and enhance supply chain visibility. The platform integrates with existing enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems and supplier portals to centralize geolocation data and automate the generation of due diligence statements (DDS). By leveraging industry standards for data exchange, Farmer Connect enables auditable product traceability at the batch level, ensuring businesses can readily access and share compliance reports. The solution facilitates direct submissions to the EU Information System, simplifying the regulatory process and providing a comprehensive view of the supply chain from origin to consumer.
Target Audience
