Automating EUDR Compliance for a High-Volume French Operator
As the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) moves towards full enforcement, a French operator saw a challenge coming. They needed to submit thousands of Due Diligence Statements to the European Commission. Doing this manually was impossible at their scale (read why manual compliance fails here). We built them a bridge to automate it all.
The Challenge
Not Built for Scale
The EU system uses older SOAP technology. It has complex security, short time limits for messages, and no easy way to send data in batches.
No Visibility
The EUDR portal has a list of statements, but it's hard to use at scale. It lacks good search or filtering, so finding specific records among thousands is a slow, manual process.
Too Complex
The system requires understanding complex data formats and rules. Our client needed a simple way for their team to work without needing to be technical experts.
Our Solution
We built a smart bridge that sits between the client and the EU system. It takes simple data from the client and handles all the complex communication with the EU.
A Modern API
We replaced the complex EU interface with a clean, modern one. It allows the client's systems to send data easily.
- Simple data format (JSON)
- Checks for errors before sending
- Easy to integrate with existing tools
Custom Database & Dashboard
Our platform solves this by maintaining its own database and dashboard on top of the official system. It lets the operator search, filter, and segment DDS by status, date, internal reference, or commodity.
They can see exactly what’s waiting, what succeeded, and what needs attention in seconds, instead of scrolling through a static list in the portal.
Smart Retry System
Connections can fail. Our system expects this. If a submission fails due to a network issue, it automatically tries again.
It knows the difference between a temporary glitch and a real error. This means the team doesn't have to worry about lost data or waking up at night to fix things.
