EUDR software 2026: 14 providers compared and which one fits your role

EUDR software helps companies meet the due diligence obligation under the EU Deforestation Regulation: collect supplier details and geolocation data, screen plots by satellite and check evidence for legality, submit the due diligence statement to the EU information system TRACES and keep all evidence ready for inspections for five years. Which software you need depends first on your role. Importers and other operators with ongoing shipments mostly need a platform connected to the information system, downstream companies mainly need a clean record of reference numbers, and micro and small primary producers in low-risk countries usually need no dedicated software.

This comparison rates 14 EUDR software providers against thirteen verifiable criteria, from direct submission to TRACES to a published entry price. It shows what providers publicly say about their prices and for which companies we recommend Polygon One. The market is crowded: the broker Matchilla counts more than 38 EUDR software providers in the German-speaking region (as of the end of June 2026), from corporate platforms with their own satellite analytics to sector solutions for individual commodities.

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.

What the enforcement authority expects from EUDR tools

The requirements above come from the regulation. What the authority that will inspect you says is more interesting. On 24 September 2026 the German Federal Office for Agriculture and Food (BLE) ran a web seminar aimed explicitly at providers of EUDR tools. The talk by Dr Andreas Schäfer is publicly available and had 265 views by mid-October. The points below are summarised in substance.

The methodology has to be disclosed. This is the message the talk keeps coming back to. The example used: a tool assesses the legality requirements of a producer country and returns 8.2 on a scale to 10, anything above 7 counts as compliant, with a green tick. The authority sees the result and asks what happened behind it. Which laws were examined? Which documents were reviewed? What is the number based on? According to the BLE, numerical scores and result summaries are not sufficient on their own. What is required is the derivation.

The documents used belong to the customer. Where a tool provider assesses legality, the documents used for that assessment have to be named and made available to the operator for inspection. The intellectual property objection came up in the talk, and the answer stayed the same: communicating the result alone is not enough.

Satellite analysis has to carry its basis with it. Where satellite data is used to demonstrate deforestation-free status, the data basis, the methodology and the validation have to be presented traceably alongside the results.

The benchmark is the inspector. The assessment scheme has to be transparent and coherently connected to the risk assessment. The bar the BLE sets: an inspector should be able to follow the path and, ideally, arrive at the same result.

Responsibility stays with the company. What gets inspected is the operator, not the tool. A shortcoming on the service provider's side falls back on the company, and legal responsibility cannot be outsourced. That is why these questions belong in the sales process rather than in your first inspection.

The talk also listed the weaknesses the authority has encountered so far: information that follows a superseded version of the guidelines or the FAQ. Systems along the supply chain that do not talk to each other, so that passing data on stalls. Reports with no recurring format, which cannot be compared over time. Documents submitted with no discernible link to the EUDR, because quoting a document is not enough; it has to be explained how it meets the requirements. Due diligence statements where not every plot included was backed by evidence. And a tendency to drop smallholders from the supply chain when data is missing, where in the BLE's view the obstacle is often a small technical one that can be fixed.

Two points bear directly on choosing software. First, every inspection starts from a single consignment and its reference number, so everything you produce has to trace back to that one transaction. Second, certificates, for example under FSC, PEFC or RSPO, are useful evidence but open no green lane. They do not replace your own due diligence; they have to be built into it. A tool that books a certificate as a green tick will not help you in an inspection.

The same applies to us. This section is not here to embarrass competitors but because the requirement applies to every provider, ourselves included. Put the questions below to us as well. How the BLE carries out checks in Germany and which fines the draft act provides for is covered in EUDR enforcement in Germany: BLE checks, fines and penalties.

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.

Who counts as an SME, which obligations are then waived and which deadline applies is set out in the overview EUDR for SMEs in the roles article.

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.

Do you need software at all? Excel, the information system and free tools

Not every company needs a platform. The Regulation does not prescribe software; it requires a documented process and five years of retention for the evidence. How far you get without software depends on the number of your suppliers, plots and shipments.

For data collection without software we offer free templates: a supplier questionnaire in Excel with a model letter, a risk assessment template under Article 10 with a worked example, a geodata template in CSV and GeoJSON, the Annex I scope checker and the classification of every country under the EU benchmarking. The EUDR check clarifies your role and deadline.

The European Forest Institute keeps an overview of free and open-source tools for the EUDR, organised by data type: traceability, geodata, deforestation and legality (published on 7 July 2026). It includes tools for collecting data in the field such as KoboToolbox and Ground, and WHISP for checking a plot for deforestation risk. Such tools solve individual steps. The process from the supplier request to the due diligence statement, the risk assessment and the retention you have to assemble and document yourself.

The market: three types of provider

The 14 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, Simvia (formerly Agriplace), VERSO, PwC and Compliance Compass. The differences lie in the target group, the depth of integration, and how precisely the providers publicly describe EUDR-specific functions, 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, Satelligence and Orbify belong here. Their focus is their own deforestation analysis, and all three now also offer supplier data collection and submission to TRACES.

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 14 providers in brief

All information about other providers is based on their public websites, help centres and press releases, retrieved on September 29, 2026. After Polygon One, the providers are listed in alphabetical order.

Polygon One (our recommendation for the mid-market)

Polygon One is a spin-off of TH Köln, EXIST-funded and based in Düsseldorf. Polygon One's EUDR software covers the process from the supplier request to the reference number. Products are captured and assigned customs codes, and an automatic scope check uses the HS codes to determine which articles fall under the EUDR. Suppliers enter their plots through a portal without login, the import checks the geolocation data before it is taken over, and every plot is checked by satellite against December 31, 2020. An AI reads the evidence, the due diligence statement goes directly to TRACES, and the reference and verification number come back automatically. For downstream companies, Polygon One stores suppliers' reference and verification numbers for every delivery and exports the information for requests from authorities. Polygon One also covers the PPWR on the same platform.

Compliance Compass

Compliance Compass from Bonn is a GRC platform focused on NIS2 whose EUDR offering targets the timber sector, from forest owners and sawmills to timber traders and importers. Suppliers upload forestry permits, certificates and geolocation data via a magic link without creating an account, in several languages and free of charge for them. A traffic-light view shows the status of every delivery, and the due diligence statement is transmitted directly via TRACES NT. According to the provider, the authority file with statement number, TRACES reference, coordinates and documents, including SHA-256 hashes and version history, is retrievable for five years and can be exported as a ZIP. The provider names a satellite check of origin from the Premium package and connectors for Business Central, SAP, Sage and DATEV, among others. According to the provider, its servers are located exclusively in Germany. Four packages are available on request and can be cancelled monthly. Suitable for timber businesses looking for a sector solution with data held in Germany.

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 (CCDC) at around 10 m resolution. Documents are checked by AI, optionally supplemented by certified auditors for high-risk cases. According to the provider, due diligence statements are submitted to TRACES and tracked by their reference ID, and the versioned history is stored for at least five years. ERP data comes in via API or CSV, plus an MCP server for AI tools. According to its privacy policy, data is stored on servers in the EU. Coolset is certified to ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II, and onboarding runs as a four-week accelerator programme per module. For SMEs there is a dedicated EUDR package for up to 20 direct in-scope suppliers. 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 supply chain risk monitoring. The EUDR software generates customs tariff numbers automatically and checks every article against the scope. Suppliers maintain their data in their own portal, according to the provider free of charge and without access hurdles. Every supplier is matched against the EU benchmarking and further risk databases. Due diligence statements go directly from cubemos to TRACES, and according to the provider the system retrieves the reference and verification number automatically and transfers them to the ERP. For requests from authorities, an audit package with evidence, reference numbers, coordinates and supplier documents can be downloaded. We found no public information on its own satellite analysis. 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, by its own account brings more than two million already registered suppliers. The EUDR solution collects geolocation data, origin data and legality evidence via a free, multilingual supplier portal, checks plots with Sentinel-2 imagery, AI-supported land classification and statistical change detection, and according to the provider verifies the country of origin and plot boundaries against real-time datasets. The platform submits due diligence statements to TRACES via API, according to the provider the reference and verification numbers are sent back to the ERP, and all evidence is archived for five years. Integrations exist with SAP and Celonis, among others, plus an SAP EUDR Connector built with parasus. IntegrityNext offers a PPWR module on the same platform, and according to its privacy policy the platform is hosted on AWS exclusively in EU data centres in Frankfurt and Dublin. A reference customer uses the platform across more than 16 group companies. For SMEs with up to 50 suppliers there is EUDR Starter at a fixed annual price without per-supplier fees; the provider does not state a figure. Suitable for corporate groups that already query many suppliers via a sustainability network, and with EUDR Starter also for smaller supply chains.

LiveEO (TradeAware)

LiveEO from Berlin, founded in 2018, comes from satellite analytics and closed a Series B of EUR 25 million in 2024. TradeAware comes in three packages. Lite is free, with one seat and open-source deforestation analysis, aimed at teams exploring the EUDR and at downstream companies receiving reference numbers. Professional costs EUR 3,990 per year as self-service and includes 50 due diligence statements per contract year, risk scoring for five suppliers (more up to 20 in total at EUR 15 per month each) and legality questionnaires without a lawyer's review, with an opt-out after three months. The Enterprise package adds the in-house satellite AI Precision Analytics, a legal review of supplier documents by the law firm CMS with local experts in more than 80 countries, several entities and API access. The supplier portal is free for suppliers and supports cascading onboarding across several tiers. Submission to the information system runs with automatic retrieval of the reference number and, according to the provider, with protection against TRACES outages, and existing statements can be validated. LiveEO is certified to SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001. Suitable for companies for which the depth of satellite analysis is central, and with the Professional package also for small operators with up to 20 suppliers.

Orbify

Orbify from Kraków comes from Earth observation and, alongside its EUDR solution, offers applications for sustainability projects and LNG monitoring. Suppliers submit their plots through a secure link without creating an account, and according to the provider geometry and format errors are checked at the point of collection. The deforestation analysis uses Sentinel-2, Sentinel-1, Landsat, commercial imagery from providers such as Planet and canopy height from NASA's GEDI mission. Due diligence statements are filed to TRACES through the EU's API, the reference number and submission status are stored in the platform, and according to the provider Orbify validates upstream reference and verification numbers automatically. ERP systems such as SAP and Microsoft Dynamics are connected via an API and middleware. There is a dedicated SME offer; prices are on request, with a free trial and a free EUDR assessment. The website is in English only. Suitable for companies that value detailed satellite analysis and low-threshold supplier access.

osapiens

osapiens from Mannheim was founded in 2018 and, after a Series B in 2024 (Goldman Sachs Growth Equity), closed a Series C of USD 100 million in January 2026 led by Decarbonization Partners (BlackRock and Temasek). By its own account, more than 2,500 large companies and SMEs in over 60 countries work with the osapiens HUB. 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 reference numbers flow back into the ERP automatically. According to the provider, osapiens has analysed more than 80 million hectares by satellite, and the risk score is based on a methodology developed by legal experts and tailored to ecoregions and commodities. Suppliers fill in guided questionnaires in 29 languages, the supplier portal has its own REST API, and customers share supplier data via the osapiens data network. Data is held in data centres in Germany and France; 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 in detail. The geolocation validation is strict: polygons must be closed, must have no holes and no intersecting lines, and must lie in the stated country of production, otherwise submission is blocked. The deforestation check runs in stages via the EU Forest Observatory's forest map, open satellite data and the partner Satelligence. Prewave assesses legality through country risks from 21 publicly accessible indices, AI-supported web screening and optional self-assessments by producers, for example on land-use and community rights. Prewave checks the reference and verification numbers of incoming statements automatically against TRACES. Submitting your own statements to TRACES and connecting ERP systems run via the API integration, which the provider lists as an add-on. Suppliers register free of charge with name and email. 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.

PwC (Deforestation Regulation Manager)

The Deforestation Regulation Manager is the EUDR module of the "Check Your Value Chain" suite from PricewaterhouseCoopers GmbH Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, Frankfurt am Main. The suite is built on the SAP Business Technology Platform and also offers modules for the German Supply Chain Act/CSDDD, CBAM and PPWR. Data for the due diligence statement comes from manual processes, requests to suppliers or to TRACES, via API or through system integration. According to PwC, the deforestation analysis relies on index data reviewed by PwC experts and on satellite imagery partners, and risk analysis is also possible at HS code level. Risk mitigation measures such as certificate checks and questionnaires to suppliers can be documented. The software transmits due diligence statements to TRACES, and products can be pre-checked automatically for EUDR conformity before an order is placed. According to the PwC Store, the suite starts at EUR 990 net per month plus one-off implementation costs, billed by modules, users and business partners; PwC does not state a separate price for the EUDR module. According to the provider, technical provision of the standard configuration takes five working days. Suitable for companies that want to manage several supply chain regulations on an SAP platform with support from PwC.

Satelligence

Satelligence from Utrecht specialises in satellite-based deforestation monitoring and works with radar and optical data from Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2 and Landsat, including its own global cocoa mapping. The company cooperates with the World Cocoa Foundation and the European Forest Institute, also delivers its analyses into partner platforms such as Prewave, and announced a partnership with Sourcemap in September 2026. Its own platform now covers the process up to submission: geolocation data comes in via upload, supplier forms or API, flagged plots are handled in the Case Tracker with a full audit log, and due diligence statements go directly to the information system via a built-in TRACES integration; on request, Satelligence submits as an authorised representative. For the risk assessment, policies and documents can be stored, and on legal matters Satelligence is supported by the law firm GvW Graf von Westphalen. The focus is on palm oil, cocoa, rubber and soy. Prices on request with customer-specific service agreements. Suitable for commodity companies and producers that need reliable deforestation data and want to handle submission from the same platform.

Simvia (formerly Agriplace)

Simvia from Amsterdam was called Agriplace until April 2026 and comes from document and certificate management in the food sector. Suppliers maintain their evidence once in the network and share it with several buyers; according to the provider, they can also upload without registering. We found no dedicated EUDR product page; by its own account, the platform supports the EUDR through database connections, its sustainability risk assessment and supply chain transparency. For the PPWR, Simvia offers dedicated software with a template for the declaration of conformity. A public API connects the platform to ERP systems such as SAP and Microsoft Dynamics. We found no public information on its own satellite analysis or on direct submission to the information system. The pricing page names a free plan for connecting with up to ten buyer organisations and one-off onboarding of around EUR 2,100 for 200 suppliers; the Core and Scale plans are on request. Suitable for food companies that already work with certification systems such as GLOBALG.A.P. and see the EUDR mainly as a documentation topic.

Sourcemap

Sourcemap from New York is a spin-off of the MIT Media Lab and the traceability specialist of the group, by its own account with 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, plus an integration into Salesforce Net Zero Cloud. The satellite analysis is shipment-based and runs as a four-layer deforestation scan, and the legality review also covers land-use rights and the free, prior and informed consent of local communities. Sourcemap makes the full audit trail with all deforestation assessment results available for download, a dedicated team supports suppliers in eight languages, and according to the provider compliance can be reached in under four weeks. With a dedicated PPWR solution, Sourcemap according to the provider also generates PPWR declarations of conformity automatically. 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.

VERSO

VERSO from Munich says it has supported mid-sized companies with sustainability since 2010. Its EUDR software is a module of the VERSO Supply Chain Hub, which also covers PPWR, CBAM and supply chain due diligence. Suppliers register a company profile, which according to the provider they use free of charge and can share with several customers. According to the provider, the risk analysis uses high-resolution satellite data and news monitoring, with methodology development supported by the law firm Taylor Wessing. Due diligence statements are created per batch and sent to TRACES via API, and the Supply Chain Hub automatically checks the reference and verification numbers of incoming statements against TRACES. Analysis results are documented as an audit report, and a RESTful API connects ERP systems. According to the provider, data is stored exclusively in data centres of the Open Telekom Cloud in Germany, and the platform is ISO 27001 certified. Prices on request. Suitable for mid-sized companies that want to bundle EUDR, PPWR and other supply chain topics on one platform with data held in Germany.

Comparison matrix: thirteen criteria at a glance

The matrix summarises what the providers publicly document on the thirteen 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.

Polygon One is rated by the same standard as everyone else: what is publicly described on polygon-one.com, including our specialist articles. 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".

The thirteenth criterion measures what is publicly described. In an inspection something else counts: what you as a customer actually get to see. A provider may disclose its methodology fully to customers without publishing it on a website, so the public description is only an indication. Ask in the demo, and ask for the path to the result rather than the result.

EUDR software costs: prices and contract models

Anyone who wants to compare the cost of EUDR software hits a wall. Ten of the 14 providers publish no prices for their EUDR software; quotes arise in a 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.

As a market range, the broker Matchilla cites around EUR 6,000 to 40,000 per year for smaller companies and EUR 25,000 to 180,000 per year for mid-sized to large importers including interfaces, based on its matchings from April 2025 to June 2026. Polygon One prepares a quote for your scope after a 30-minute call with a live demo. An early price range matters even for companies with few imports, because from December 30, 2026 their goods will not be cleared without a reference number.

Why we recommend Polygon One 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.

1. Geolocation data is checked before it enters a statement

Faulty geolocation data is a common reason for problems at submission, and it often only comes to light when the statement is rejected or the goods are at customs. Polygon One accepts GeoJSON, places every plot on the map and checks the geolocation data for completeness and plausibility before it is taken over, including country plausibility, coordinate precision and geometry errors. The system shows problem rows before they enter a statement. Prewave also publicly describes its geometry check in detail (closed polygons, no holes, no intersections, location in the country of production), Orbify according to the provider checks geometry and format errors at the point of collection, and IntegrityNext, Coolset, Sourcemap and Satelligence also mention geodata validation.

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. That is why Polygon One keeps the hurdle low: the supplier opens a link to the portal, without login and without an account of their own, enters their plots as coordinates or polygons and provides documents and questionnaires, in four languages. They can invite their own sub-suppliers, and automatic reminders follow up when information is missing.

3. Due diligence statements go directly to the information system

Polygon One generates the due diligence statement per product from the captured data and submits it to the EU information system via the interface, without manual transfer. The reference and verification number come back automatically and are attached to the respective shipment, ready for the customs declaration and for your customers.

4. Downstream companies keep their reference numbers under control

Traders and processors that do not submit statements themselves need something other than a DDS machine. They have to keep their suppliers' reference and verification numbers and present them during an inspection. Polygon One stores them for every delivery, shows which items are still open, and exports the information under Article 5(3), that is supplier and customer identity including the numbers, for a request from the authorities. More in our article on the EUDR reference number.

5. Risk is assessed and documented traceably

Polygon One checks every plot by satellite against its state on December 31, 2020, and the risk level of the country of production comes from the EU benchmarking under Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1093. An AI reads certificates and other evidence, assigns them to the right category and detects when a document does not match the supplier, country or commodity. Identified risks are handled in the system and the decisions recorded in reports. At the push of a button, a compliance report documents the due diligence process under Articles 9 to 11, as evidence for inspections by the authorities and for the five-year retention period. Legal responsibility and classification remain with you.

6. EUDR and PPWR on one platform, data in Frankfurt, a transparent quote

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. According to public documentation, osapiens, IntegrityNext, cubemos, Coolset, Sourcemap, VERSO and PwC also offer this; for Simvia (formerly Agriplace) we found a PPWR module but no dedicated EUDR module. Platform data is stored with AWS in Frankfurt am Main (eu-central-1); details are on the hosting and data protection page. Roles, permissions and an audit log record who decided what and when. We prepare a quote after a 30-minute call with a live demo.

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, by its own account, brings 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, Satelligence and Orbify. All three come from Earth observation and go deeper there than we do.

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, Simvia (formerly Agriplace) is worth a look. Ask specifically about the EUDR functions for which we found no public information.

If hosting in Germany matters to you, VERSO and Compliance Compass state it publicly, alongside Polygon One. For timber businesses from sawmills to importers, Compliance Compass with its sector solution is an obvious candidate. If you already manage the German Supply Chain Act, CBAM and PPWR with PwC on the SAP Business Technology Platform, the Deforestation Regulation Manager fits.

EUDR software by commodity: when the sector matters

The commodity decides less about the software than your role does. None of the thirteen criteria in the matrix is tied to a commodity. Three providers name an explicit sector focus: Compliance Compass is aimed at the timber sector from forest owners to importers, Satelligence focuses on palm oil, cocoa, rubber and soy and has its own global cocoa mapping, and Simvia (formerly Agriplace) comes from the food sector.

What differs by commodity are the customs codes, special cases and evidence. For timber businesses the CN codes of chapters 44, 47, 48 and 94, species information and the geolocation of the harvesting plots count; micro and small enterprises in the timber sector have no later date than 30 December 2026. What matters in your sector is set out in our guides on timber, furniture, coffee and cocoa, rubber and tyres, palm oil and paper and packaging.

Decision profiles

How to choose EUDR software: six steps

1. Clarify your role for each product. Only operators submit due diligence statements, and one company can have different roles for different products. The EUDR check sorts this out in two minutes.
2. Write down your volumes. Number of suppliers, plots, shipments and statements per year, plus the commodities and your ERP. This decides whether templates are enough or a platform is needed.
3. Pick the must-have criteria from the matrix. For operators these are above all the direct connection to the information system, the geolocation check before import, supplier access without high hurdles, a traceable risk assessment and an export package for inspections.
4. Invite two or three providers to a demo. Take the ten questions with you and ask specifically about the rows marked "Partial" or "Not stated" in the matrix.
5. Test with real supplier data. Have the provider export everything that belongs to a single reference number, and check whether an inspector could follow the path to the risk result without the provider being present.
6. Settle the contract and the rollout. Hosting, data processing agreement and sub-processors, a method sheet and the implementation time. Invite suppliers as early as possible, because their answers usually take days to weeks.

Typical mistakes in the selection. Buying a tool that only generates due diligence statements, although the Regulation requires a process from information gathering to risk mitigation. Accepting a risk value without a derivation. Letting certificates such as FSC, PEFC or RSPO be booked as a green tick, although they do not replace due diligence. Inviting suppliers only after the contract. And fixing the role for the whole company instead of for each product.

Methodology and transparency

For this comparison we evaluated the public websites, help centres, documentation, pricing pages, blog posts and press releases of the 13 other providers. The first version dates from September 4, 2026; we re-checked all information on September 29, 2026. We rated Polygon One by the same standard, that is by what is publicly described on polygon-one.com. 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 follows the providers' visibility in the German-speaking market, in search results for EUDR software and in existing overviews such as the elan! list by OroVerde and Global Nature Fund. We checked but did not include preeco, tec4U-Solutions, TraceX, Digicust, tanso, acadon and SAP Green Token, because their EUDR functions are only briefly described in public, cover only part of the process or address a different target group. If you as a provider would like to correct a statement, write to us; we update the article with a date. We added the thirteenth criterion in October 2026, after the German Federal Office for Agriculture and Food publicly described what it expects from tools and their results in inspections. As with every other criterion, we rated it solely on public descriptions, and we rate ourselves "Partial" on it.

Change history. On October 14, 2026 we added the section on the enforcement authority, ten questions for the demo and the thirteenth criterion. On September 29, 2026 we added four providers (VERSO, PwC, Orbify and Compliance Compass) and re-checked all information: LiveEO has since published list prices, we found PPWR solutions at IntegrityNext and Sourcemap, Coolset and IntegrityNext state EU hosting, and Agriplace has been called Simvia since April 2026. On October 18, 2026 we added the sections on working without software, on choosing in six steps and on commodities; since October 17, 2026 Polygon One has published an entry price.

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 we recommend Polygon One, because the platform covers the process from the supplier request to the reference number, collects geolocation data via a portal without login and checks it before it is taken over, and unites EUDR and PPWR on one platform. This recommendation comes from us as a provider. Corporate groups with an SAP landscape and several entities are in good hands with osapiens, IntegrityNext or PwC, companies with their own GIS department with LiveEO, Satelligence or Orbify, and timber businesses also with Compliance Compass.

What should I look for when choosing EUDR software?

First clarify your role for each product: only operators submit due diligence statements; downstream companies record reference numbers. For operators, five points matter most: a direct connection to the EU information system with automatic retrieval of the reference and verification number, a geolocation check before data enters a statement, low-hurdle supplier access, a traceable risk assessment with satellite data and evidence, and an export package for controls. Hosting, language and price come on top. In demos, ask specifically about the rows marked "Partial" or "Not stated" in our matrix, and test with real supplier data.

What does EUDR software cost?

Most providers state prices only on request. Public prices exist at LiveEO (TradeAware Lite free, Professional EUR 3,990 per year) and at PwC (the Check Your Value Chain suite from EUR 990 net per month plus one-off implementation costs, with no separate price for the EUDR module). Simvia (formerly Agriplace) publishes some: according to the provider, one-off onboarding costs around EUR 2,100 for 200 suppliers, while the Core and Scale plans are on request. As a market range, the broker Matchilla cites around EUR 6,000 to 40,000 per year for smaller companies and EUR 25,000 to 180,000 for mid-sized to large importers, based on its matchings from April 2025 to June 2026. Polygon One states an entry price for the smallest package (see the price table) and prepares a quote for your scope. As of September 29, 2026.

Is there free EUDR software?

Yes, with limits. LiveEO offers TradeAware Lite for EUR 0, with one seat and open-source deforestation analysis, aimed at teams exploring the EUDR and at downstream companies receiving reference numbers. Simvia (formerly Agriplace) has a free plan with which a company connects to up to ten buyer organisations and shares evidence with them, which mainly serves the supplier side. Orbify offers a free trial and a free EUDR assessment. For suppliers, many providers' portals are free, for example at LiveEO, cubemos, IntegrityNext, VERSO and Compliance Compass. Without software, operators can also submit their due diligence statements by hand in the web interface of the information system. As of September 29, 2026.

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.

Which EUDR software suits small and medium-sized companies?

Several providers now have dedicated entry packages: LiveEO TradeAware Professional at EUR 3,990 per year with up to 50 due diligence statements and risk scoring for five suppliers, expandable to 20; IntegrityNext EUDR Starter for up to 50 suppliers at a fixed annual price with no public figure; Coolset EUDR for SME for up to 20 direct in-scope suppliers; and a dedicated SME offer from Orbify. Polygon One addresses importers and manufacturers from the mid-market and covers EUDR and PPWR on one platform. Whether you need software at all depends on your role: operators that were micro or small enterprises on December 31, 2024 are only obliged from June 30, 2027 outside the timber sector, and for SMEs at the downstream tier records are sufficient.

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.

Which EUDR software submits due diligence statements directly to TRACES?

According to public documentation, nine of the 14 providers compared transmit due diligence statements to TRACES via an interface and take over the reference number automatically: Polygon One, osapiens, LiveEO, IntegrityNext, cubemos, Prewave (via the API integration, which the provider lists as an add-on), Sourcemap, Orbify and Compliance Compass. Coolset, Satelligence, VERSO and PwC describe submission to TRACES, but not both a direct interface and the automatic retrieval of the reference number. For Simvia (formerly Agriplace) we found no public information. Downstream companies submit nothing themselves; above all, they need clean records of their suppliers' reference and verification numbers.

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 mainly addresses corporate groups with an ERP-native platform, no-code workflows and a broad ESG scope, by its own account also works with SMEs, and states prices only on request. Polygon One addresses importers and manufacturers from the mid-market without their own compliance department, collects geolocation data via a portal without login, checks it before it is taken over, and prepares a quote after a 30-minute call. Both providers cover EUDR and PPWR and store data in the EU: Polygon One with AWS in Frankfurt am Main, osapiens in data centres in Germany and France.

Which EUDR software stores data in Germany or the EU?

Six of the 14 providers state this publicly. In Germany: Polygon One (AWS, Frankfurt am Main region), VERSO (Open Telekom Cloud) and Compliance Compass, which by its own account uses servers exclusively in Germany. In the EU: osapiens (data centres in Germany and France), IntegrityNext (AWS in Frankfurt and Dublin) and Coolset (servers in the EU according to its privacy policy). For the other eight providers we found no public information, which does not mean they host outside the EU. For every solution, ask about the data processing agreement and the sub-processors.

How long does implementation take?

The bottleneck is data collection from suppliers, whose answers typically take days to weeks, so invite suppliers as early as possible and handle the remaining steps in parallel. Providers publicly state very different set-up times: IntegrityNext a few days for EUDR Starter, PwC five working days for the technical provision of the standard configuration, Compliance Compass two to six weeks (8 to 14 weeks for larger integrations), LiveEO around four weeks for onboarding with API configuration and Sourcemap under four weeks. In a 30-minute call we show you Polygon One live and discuss how implementation would work for you.

Who are the leading providers of EUDR compliance software?

There is no public ranking by market share. This comparison covers 14 providers, selected by their visibility in the German-speaking market, in search results and in existing overviews. Compliance platforms with an EUDR module: Polygon One, osapiens, IntegrityNext, cubemos, Coolset, Prewave, Simvia (formerly Agriplace), VERSO, PwC and Compliance Compass. Satellite and geospatial specialists: LiveEO with TradeAware, Satelligence and Orbify. Traceability specialist: Sourcemap. Polygon One is itself one of the providers compared. Which software fits depends first on your role in the supply chain.

Which EUDR compliance platforms use satellite imagery to verify deforestation risk at supplier plot level?

According to public documentation, nine of the 14 providers compared concretely describe a satellite-based deforestation check: Polygon One, osapiens, LiveEO, IntegrityNext, Coolset, Prewave, Sourcemap, Satelligence and Orbify. VERSO, PwC and Compliance Compass advertise satellite data without describing the data basis. For cubemos and Simvia (formerly Agriplace) we found no public information, which does not mean the function is missing. LiveEO, Satelligence and Orbify come from Earth observation. Sourcemap analyses per shipment; Polygon One checks every plot by satellite against the 31 December 2020 cut-off.

How do I tell whether an EUDR tool will hold up in an inspection?

By whether you can follow the path to the result. In a September 2026 web seminar for tool providers, the German Federal Office for Agriculture and Food made clear several times that numerical scores and result summaries are not sufficient on their own. What is required is the data basis, the methodology and the validation, for satellite analysis as much as for the legality assessment. Where legality is assessed by a tool provider, the documents used have to be named and made available to the operator. A practical test: could an inspector follow your case from what you are able to export, without the provider in the room?

Is a risk score enough as evidence?

No. A score is a result, not evidence. The enforcement authority wants to know which laws were examined, which documents were reviewed and which data was analysed, and how the assessment followed from them. The same goes for certificates: FSC, PEFC and RSPO are useful evidence, but they do not replace your own due diligence and they open no green lane. So check before signing what you can get out of the system when an inspection comes, not only what it displays to you.

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 only a few 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, we recommend Polygon One. The process follows the regulation, geolocation data is checked before it is taken over, suppliers work without login, due diligence statements go directly to TRACES and the reference number comes back automatically, a compliance report documents the due diligence process, and PPWR runs on the same platform. After a 30-minute call you receive a transparent quote.

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.
