Core elements of our solution for EUDR
Before products are brought to the EU market or exported, it is important to collect relevant data, document it, and conduct a comprehensive risk assessment. This assessment also includes a review of geolocational data sources. Successful data collection requires solid technical support for suppliers, farmers, operators, and traders. Our solution, the osapiens HUB for EUDR, is a comprehensive, integrated software that provides a complete solution for EUDR regulations. A free data collection app enables detailed geolocation, which is particularly important for compliance with the EU Deforestation Regulation. It also allows tracking of shipment details and increases the efficiency of logistics processes through functions such as batch creation and aggregation.
Risk Analysis and Risk Management
AI-based risk assessment
Risk analysis of all relevant dimensions – both for the deforestation-free supply chain and for compliance with laws in producing countries – is fully automated through the collection of supplier data and the application of AI methods to assess deforestation risk. A central platform consolidates all collected supplier data, including verified evidence such as certificates. Risk mitigation actions can also be initiated, documented and stored – all in one place.
Free Farmer App
Easy and secure data exchange
With this convenient mobile application, farmers can easily transmit their precise geolocation data after harvest. Suppliers can seamlessly integrate additional information with a single click. This information is then used to ensure compliance with the Deforestation Regulation.
Due Diligence Statement
Automatic creation of due diligence statements
To verify product compliance, the EU requires the creation of a due diligence statement. osapiens for EUDR facilitates the automatic creation of these statements and ensures that all relevant information such as country of production, geolocation of all plots, production quantity and other relevant details are included.
Case Management

The system simplifies the creation of cases with individual risk assessment, enables the definition of priorities and statuses, allows the linking of risk categories, manages user roles, integrates SLAs/processing deadlines and supports the addition of notes.
