EUDR Software Comparison 2026: The ten leading providers and why Polygon One is the best choice for the mid-market

Updated on September 4, 2026. Reading time about 22 minutes.

Anyone looking for EUDR software in 2026 finds a confusing market. In the German-speaking region alone, according to the broker Matchilla, more than 30 providers compete, from corporate platforms with their own satellite constellation to niche tools for individual industries. This EUDR software comparison ranks the ten most important providers against twelve verifiable criteria, explains which software you actually need depending on your role in the supply chain, and shows why, in our view, Polygon One is the best choice for mid-sized importers, manufacturers and traders.

What EUDR software must do in 2026

The EU Deforestation Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2023/1115) applies from December 30, 2026 for large and medium-sized companies as well as for micro and small enterprises in the timber sector, and from June 30, 2027 for the remaining micro and small enterprises. Regulation (EU) 2025/2650 fundamentally simplified the role model. Only upstream operators, that is importers, first placers on the market and exporters, fulfil the full due diligence and submit due diligence statements (DDS) in the EU information system. Downstream operators and traders record and document reference numbers. Micro-enterprises and small primary producers submit a one-off simplified declaration. We described how the information system itself works in our article on the EUDR information system.

For software selection this means: a tool that only generates due diligence statements does not cover the process. In Articles 9 to 12, the regulation requires a documented sequence of information gathering, risk assessment, risk mitigation and an annually reviewed due diligence system, plus five years of retention of all evidence. The due diligence statement is only the result at the end.

Which EUDR software do you need? Role and size decide

Before you compare providers, you should clarify your role, separately for each relevant product. A company can be both an importer of cocoa beans and a downstream operator for the chocolate made from them. The role determines whether you need a full due diligence platform, a lean solution for reference numbers, or no software at all.

The second question is the size of your supply chain. With five suppliers and twenty plots, much can still be handled in spreadsheets, even if the submission in the information system is then done by hand. With fifty suppliers, several hundred plots and ongoing shipments, the picture tips, because reminders, geolocation corrections, quantity tracking and evidence all have to run at the same time. Exactly this segment, that is mid-sized companies with ten to a few hundred suppliers, is the core of the market and the target group Polygon One was built for.

The market: three types of provider

The ten providers in this comparison can be assigned to three types by their public positioning.

Compliance platforms with an EUDR module cover the entire due diligence process and offer further regulations such as PPWR, CSRD or the German Supply Chain Act alongside it. These include Polygon One, osapiens, IntegrityNext, cubemos, Coolset, Prewave and Agriplace. The differences lie in the target group, the depth of integration, and how seriously the provider takes the EUDR-specific details, such as the geolocation check or the verification of third-party statements.

Satellite and geospatial specialists have their own Earth observation analytics at their core. LiveEO with TradeAware and Satelligence belong here. They deliver the deepest deforestation analysis but partly assume that the customer organises the rest of the process themselves or uses supplementary systems.

Traceability specialists such as Sourcemap map complex global supply chains down to the origin and address corporate groups with very many suppliers across several tiers.

The ten providers in brief

All information about other providers is based on their public websites, help centres and press releases, as of September 4, 2026.

Polygon One (our recommendation for the mid-market)

Polygon One is a spin-off of TH Köln, is funded through EXIST research transfer and is based in Düsseldorf. The platform maps the entire EUDR process in six steps, from importing master data through the automatic scope check, data collection with a supplier portal and a checked plot import, satellite and legality analysis, to the submission of the due diligence statement directly from the platform. After login, the cockpit always shows the next sensible step. For downstream companies, Polygon One checks suppliers' statements live against the information system and links them via bills of materials to your own sales articles. A PPWR module runs on the same platform with the same supplier base. The data is held in the EU, the help centre documents every function publicly, and the entry price is around EUR 3,000 per year. The details follow below.

Agriplace (Simvia)

Agriplace from Amsterdam, since 2026 under the name Simvia, comes from document and certificate management in the agriculture and food sector. Suppliers maintain their evidence once in the network and make it available to several customers. For the EUDR, Agriplace positions itself deliberately pragmatically: by its own account, fully automated DDS generation is not always necessary, and a periodic, partly manual collection and aggregation of the DDS data is often sufficient. The role model with operators, non-SME traders and SME traders is explained cleanly, and PPWR declarations of conformity are also covered. Its own satellite analysis or a direct submission in the information system are not publicly documented as core functions. Suitable for food companies that already work with certification systems such as GlobalG.A.P. and see the EUDR as a further documentation topic.

Coolset

Coolset from Amsterdam is an ESG platform for the mid-market that offers the EUDR alongside CSRD, the EU Taxonomy, VSME, PPWR, EUTR and EcoVadis. According to the provider, the deforestation check uses Sentinel-2 data with continuous change detection against the European Commission's forest baseline as of 2020. Due diligence statements are generated in TRACES format and, according to the provider, submitted directly; the version history is stored for five years. Coolset is certified to ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II, and onboarding runs as a four-week accelerator programme per module. Prices are on request, according to the provider without setup fees. Suitable for sustainability teams that want to bundle several regulations in one platform and see the EUDR as one of several modules.

cubemos

cubemos from Munich sees itself as an AI platform for ESG compliance and, alongside the EUDR, also covers CSRD, VSME, the EU Taxonomy, CO2 accounting, the German Supply Chain Act and CSDDD, PPWR and the digital product passport. The EUDR software checks articles automatically against the scope, invites suppliers via a personalised link without registration, matches every supplier against the EU benchmarking and transmits due diligence statements via an interface to the information system, with the reference number returned automatically. Incoming statements are checked for validity. Its own satellite analysis is not publicly documented; according to the provider, the risk assessment relies on the EU benchmarking and further risk databases. Prices on request. Suitable for companies that want to manage the EUDR and CSRD in one system.

IntegrityNext

IntegrityNext from Munich, founded in 2016 and financed since 2023 with EUR 100 million from EQT, brings the largest supplier network of the group: more than two million registered suppliers in more than 190 countries. The EUDR solution collects data via supplier self-disclosure including existing reference numbers, checks geolocation data with Sentinel-2 imagery and AI-supported land classification, assesses product and country risks automatically, and transmits due diligence statements to the information system. Measures are tracked in the Action Tool, and integrations exist to SAP, Celonis and Coupa, among others. A reference customer uses the platform across more than 16 group entities. Prices on request. Suitable for corporate groups that already query many suppliers via a sustainability network and want to connect the EUDR there.

LiveEO (TradeAware)

LiveEO from Berlin, founded in 2018, comes from satellite analytics and closed a Series B of EUR 25 million in 2024. TradeAware combines its own satellite AI for detecting land-use changes after the cut-off date of December 31, 2020 with a legal review by local experts in more than 80 countries, implemented with the law firm CMS. The supplier portal is free for suppliers and supports cascading onboarding across several tiers; submission in the information system runs with automatic retrieval of the reference number and, according to the provider, with protection if the EU system goes down. The API is ERP-agnostic, LiveEO is an SAP partner and SOC 2 certified. A free Lite variant is available to start, Professional and Enterprise on request, and onboarding takes about four weeks according to the provider. Suitable for companies for which the depth of satellite analysis is central and which bring the resources for a geospatial platform.

osapiens

osapiens from Mannheim is the best-known name in the German market. The company was founded in 2018, closed a Series B of EUR 110.7 million in 2024 led by Goldman Sachs Growth Equity, and counts, by its own account, more than 700 companies using the HUB for EUDR. The platform is ERP-native with connections to SAP, Oracle and Microsoft Dynamics, has a no-code workflow builder and a native connection to the information system in which confirmed reference numbers flow back into the ERP automatically. According to the provider, the satellite analysis is calibrated on more than 80 million hectares analysed, and the legality review was developed with a law firm. The supplier portal has its own REST API, and via the osapiens data network customers exchange data with one another. For small and medium-sized companies there is the Easy Start programme with a flat-rate model. The data is held on EU servers; concrete prices are only available on request. Suitable for corporate groups with several entities, deep ERP integration and a broad ESG scope from CSRD through CBAM to PPWR.

Prewave

Prewave from Vienna, founded in 2017 and financed in 2024 with a Series B of EUR 63 million, is at its core a platform for supply chain risk monitoring and was rated a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant 2026 for Supplier Risk Management Solutions. The EUDR modules for incoming and outgoing goods as well as due diligence statements are documented cleanly. Notable is the geolocation validation: polygons must be closed, must have no holes and no intersecting lines, and must lie in the stated country of production. The deforestation check runs in stages via the EU Forest Observatory's forest map, open satellite data and the partner Satelligence. The legality assessment was developed with Taylor Wessing. A public API is available, prices on request. Suitable for companies that already run an early-warning system for supply chain risks and want to connect the EUDR to it.

Satelligence

Satelligence from Utrecht is the specialist for satellite-based deforestation monitoring and works with radar and optical data, including its own global cocoa mapping. The company cooperates with the World Cocoa Foundation and the European Forest Institute and also delivers its analyses into partner platforms such as Prewave. Flagged plots are handled with suppliers in the Case Tracker and logged in an audit-proof way. A direct submission in the information system, a classic supplier portal or a legality review are not publicly documented as a core product; the focus is on soy, palm oil, cocoa, coffee and rubber. Prices on request with customer-specific service agreements. Suitable for commodity companies and producers that need reliable deforestation data as a basis for their own compliance documentation.

Sourcemap

Sourcemap from New York is a spin-off of the MIT Media Lab and the traceability specialist of the group: more than 250 brands and 5.5 million mapped suppliers. For the EUDR, Sourcemap is, by its own account, live with the information system and with SAP; due diligence statements are triggered from the ERP and submitted in minutes, plus an integration into Salesforce Net Zero Cloud. The satellite analysis is shipment-based, and the legality review also covers land-use rights and the free, prior and informed consent of local communities. The EUDR solution is certified to ISO 27001, and reference customers include Oxford University Press and ECOM. Prices on request. Suitable for corporate groups with multi-tier commodity chains that need traceability down to the farm across tens of thousands of suppliers.

Comparison matrix: twelve criteria at a glance

The matrix summarises what the providers publicly document on the twelve criteria. "Yes" means the function is concretely described in the provider's documentation, help centre or a press release. "Partial" means the function is advertised but not described in detail, or that only part of the criterion is met. "Not stated" means we found no public information, not that the function is missing.

That Polygon One shows "Yes" in all twelve rows has two reasons. First, the functions are present. Second, we make our help centre with 47 EUDR pages fully public, so that every row can be read up. For several competitors the depth of function is probably greater than the public documentation shows. In demos, ask specifically about the rows with "Partial" and "Not stated".

EUDR software costs: prices and contract models

Anyone searching for EUDR software costs hits a wall. Nine of the ten providers publish no prices; the quotes arise in the sales conversation. That is common for enterprise software but makes the choice unnecessarily hard for mid-sized companies, because without a price range you cannot even decide which providers come into question at all.

At Polygon One the price depends on the scope, that is the number of EUDR-relevant articles and suppliers, the number of user seats and the contract term, where longer terms are cheaper. The entry point is around EUR 3,000 per year for small supply chains. This makes the software affordable even for companies that only handle a few imports per year but from December 30, 2026 still get no goods cleared without a reference number.

Why Polygon One is the best choice for the mid-market

We built Polygon One for companies that have no compliance department but from December 2026 must bring every shipment cleanly through customs. Six points make the difference in our view, each of them documented in the help centre.

1. Geolocation data is checked before it enters a statement

Faulty geolocation data is the most common reason for problems at submission, and with most tools it only comes to light when the statement is rejected or the goods are at customs. The plot import in Polygon One is therefore a staged check workflow. It accepts GeoJSON, CSV and Excel with WKT geometry, recognises columns automatically, checks the country plausibility of every coordinate against the country of production, shows a precision histogram, warns about automatically corrected coordinate order or removed polygon holes, and keeps a problem register that can be exported and returned to the supplier. For each row you decide whether a plot is confirmed and technically padded to the EUDR format on submission, skipped, or a point is buffered into a polygon. Among the ten providers, only Prewave documents a similarly strict geometry check.

2. Suppliers work without an account, in four languages, across several tiers

Data collection from suppliers is the most time-consuming part of the EUDR; answers typically take days to weeks. The supplier portal lowers the hurdle as far as possible: the supplier opens a secure link, without registration and without a password, chooses between German, English, French and Spanish, draws their plots on the map or uploads GeoJSON, answers the legality questionnaire, uploads certificates and licences, and, if needed, invites their own sub-suppliers. The link stays valid, missing data is supplied later, and automatic reminders and targeted update requests keep the status current. Every supplier submission lands in the audit log.

3. The connection to the information system is complete and evidence-proof

Polygon One is connected directly to the EU information system via a web service. You store your credentials separately for the test and production environment and submit statements with one click. The reference and verification number are retrieved automatically, the status is synchronised in the background and also shows official controls and correction requests. Before submission, the system checks the mandatory entries, such as the supplementary units of measure per HS code. For every transmission attempt, the exact XML sent is stored as a snapshot for the statutory retention period. Statements can be withdrawn with legal effect. And because orders are automatically assigned to matching statements, the volume is tracked against the declared quantity and an overflow statement is created on exhaustion, ongoing operations stay clean without manual work.

4. Downstream companies get real tools

Traders and processors that do not submit statements themselves need something other than a DDS machine. With Link external DDS you record the reference and verification numbers of your suppliers and assign them to articles and quantities. With Verify in TRACES you check live against the information system whether the statement exists and is still usable. Via the bill of materials you connect incoming articles with sales articles, so that outgoing goods derive their traceability from the incoming statements. The automation also knows when no statement is needed at all, for example with EU suppliers or with origin from a country with low risk, for which the simplified due diligence under Article 13 applies.

5. Risk is assessed honestly and documented honestly

As soon as a plot is saved or transmitted by the supplier, the satellite analysis starts against the cut-off date of December 31, 2020. For legality, documents are analysed by AI, certifications such as FSC, PEFC or ISCC are automatically assigned to the covered categories, and a valid FLEGT licence fulfils all categories at once for wood from VPA countries. The findings catalogue describes every finding with a severity and a resolution path, and the mitigation dialog guides you through the remediation. The rules for accepting evidence are strict: a sent request is not a resolution, an unconfirmed supplier answer is not either, and a statement accepted on your own responsibility is marked as such in the compliance report. Polygon One expressly makes no legal assessment and tells you when to escalate. It is precisely this traceability that counts in a control. The audit package bundles master data, analysis results, original documents and transmission snapshots into an archive with a manifest.

6. EUDR and PPWR on one platform, data in the EU, transparent prices

Many companies affected by the EUDR have also had to comply with the packaging regulation PPWR since August 12, 2026. Polygon One covers both on one platform with the same supplier base. Of the ten providers compared, only osapiens, cubemos, Coolset and Agriplace otherwise offer this, none of the satellite or traceability specialists. All data is held in the EU, roles and permissions are configurable per action, and the task routing distributes new suppliers automatically by country to the responsible team member. And we are the only provider of the group to state an entry price.

When another provider is the better choice

A comparison in which the author wins everywhere is worthless. There are situations in which we would advise you to a competitor.

If you run a corporate group with several legal entities, a grown SAP landscape and your own compliance team, and you want to map the EUDR as one building block alongside CSRD, CBAM and the German Supply Chain Act in one platform, then osapiens and IntegrityNext are the obvious candidates. osapiens is ERP-native and brings a no-code workflow builder, and IntegrityNext has the largest network with more than two million registered suppliers.

If your supply chain consists of tens of thousands of smallholders in West Africa or Southeast Asia and you need traceability at shipment level across several tiers, then Sourcemap was built for that. If you have your own GIS department and the quality of the satellite analysis is the decisive criterion, you should shortlist LiveEO and Satelligence. Both go deeper in Earth observation than any compliance platform, deeper than us too.

If you primarily run an early-warning system for supply chain risks and want to connect the EUDR to it, Prewave is the right provider. And if you work in the food sector with GlobalG.A.P. and similar certificate systems anyway and see the EUDR mainly as a documentation topic, Agriplace is worth a look.

Decision profiles

Methodology and transparency

For this EUDR software comparison we evaluated the public websites, help centres, documentation, pricing pages and press releases of the ten providers, as of September 4, 2026. We did not test the competitor products ourselves. Each criterion in the matrix was rated "Yes" only if the function is concretely described; advertising phrases without a description we rated "Partial". Statements about market shares, the accuracy of analyses or compliance guarantees of individual providers we deliberately did not adopt, because they cannot be verified from the outside. The selection of the ten providers follows their visibility in the German-speaking market and in existing comparisons. If you as a provider would like to correct a statement, write to us; we update the article with a date.

Frequently asked questions about EUDR software

Which EUDR software is the best?

That depends on role and size. For mid-sized importers, manufacturers and traders with ten to a few hundred suppliers, Polygon One is in our view the best choice, because the platform covers the entire process from the scope check to submission, checks geolocation data before import, onboards suppliers without an account, and unites EUDR and PPWR on one platform. Corporate groups with an SAP landscape and several entities are in good hands with osapiens or IntegrityNext, and companies with their own GIS department with LiveEO or Satelligence.

What does EUDR software cost?

Nine of the ten providers compared state prices only on request. Polygon One starts at around EUR 3,000 per year; the price depends on the number of articles, suppliers and users as well as the term. With enterprise platforms the annual licences are typically well above that, and you receive concrete figures there only in the sales conversation.

As a trader, do I even need EUDR software?

As a trader or downstream operator you submit no due diligence statements of your own. If you are not an SME, you must register in the information system, record your suppliers' reference numbers and keep them for five years. Software is worthwhile as soon as you have many suppliers or want to check the numbers against the information system and link them with your sales articles. As an SME at the downstream tier, records are sufficient and software is optional.

What must EUDR software be able to do with the information system?

At least direct submission via an interface with automatic retrieval of the reference and verification number, status tracking including official controls, the withdrawal of statements, and the storage of the transmitted data for the retention period. For downstream companies the verification of third-party statements against the information system is added. How the system itself works is explained in our article on the EUDR information system.

Can I implement the EUDR with Excel?

For an initial stocktake, yes. For ongoing operations it becomes difficult, because geolocation data has to be checked, suppliers reminded, quantities tracked against statements and evidence kept in an audit-proof way for five years. At the latest when several people work in parallel on suppliers, plots and statements, spreadsheets lack the traceability required in a control.

What do I have to watch out for with geolocation data?

Plots over four hectares must be stated as a polygon, smaller ones may be a point. Typical errors are coordinates in the wrong country, too few decimal places, unclosed polygons, holes or intersecting lines. Good software checks this before import and not only at submission.

What distinguishes Polygon One from osapiens?

osapiens addresses mainly corporate groups with an ERP-native platform, no-code workflows and a broad ESG scope and states no prices. Polygon One is designed for mid-sized companies without their own compliance department, guides you through the process via the cockpit, checks geolocation data before import, onboards suppliers without an account and states an entry price from around EUR 3,000 per year. Both providers cover EUDR and PPWR and host in the EU.

How long does implementation take?

The platform itself is set up quickly; the bottleneck is data collection from suppliers, whose answers typically take days to weeks. You should therefore invite suppliers as early as possible and handle the remaining steps in parallel. Polygon One accompanies the implementation with personal onboarding.

Conclusion

The EUDR software market in 2026 is large, opaque and full of promises. Anyone who sorts it finds three types of provider, very different target groups and almost no public prices. The right choice begins with your own role in the supply chain and with the question of how many suppliers, plots and shipments have to be handled. For corporate groups with deep ERP integration and for special cases with tens of thousands of smallholders there are strong providers, which we have named in this article.

For the mid-market, that is for importers, manufacturers and traders that from December 30, 2026 must bring every shipment cleanly through customs without building a department for it, Polygon One is in our view the best choice. The process follows the regulation, geolocation data is checked before it causes problems, suppliers come on board without hurdles, the connection to the information system is complete, the documentation holds up in a control, PPWR runs on the same platform, and the price is clear from the start.

If you would like to see what this looks like with your suppliers and articles, arrange a 30-minute conversation with a live demo. You will then receive a quote for your scope.
