Bluugo's Tracking Cloud® platform is the perfect tool for handling the strict requirements of the upcoming EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR).
The regulation will come into effect at the end of 2025 – it is time to plan the necessary actions for the next year. Contact us, and our experts will gladly tell you more about our solution and answer your questions about the EUDR.
Verification of Origin
The EUDR requires companies to be able to prove that raw materials for their products have not been sourced from areas threatened by deforestation. This involves the systematic collection and storage of certificates of origin and sourcing location data.
Tracking Cloud® enables the collection and management of essential information at every stage of the supply chain, ensuring that the origin can always be reliably verified. The collected data can also be easily shared with stakeholders, authorities, and relevant systems.
Due Diligence Obligation
To comply with the due diligence requirements of the EUDR, companies must be able to demonstrate that they are actively managing and assessing risks related to their supply chains.
Tracking Cloud® supports this in a concrete way while significantly reducing manual work with features such as automatic alerts for anomalies, standardized reports, storage and real-time sharing of supplier and product origin data, and a seamless audit trail for managing data.
Information Sharing
In addition to origin verification and due diligence, the EUDR requires transparent data sharing with various parties for inspections. This demands efficient and, above all, standardized communication of information.
Tracking Cloud® can be directly integrated with different systems within the supply chain, ensuring that the required data can be quickly and easily shared with authorities and stakeholders. Fully adaptable APIs and support for global traceability standards such as EPCIS ensure that data transfer is seamless and compatible across different systems.
Data Retention
The EUDR requires companies to retain all data related to the supply chain and the origin of raw materials for at least five years. The "traditional approach" of customizing data within an ERP system carries a high risk that the data won't remain in a compatible and compliant format for the entire required retention period.
Tracking Cloud® is built to utilize open standards (e.g., EPCIS), ensuring that data is stored consistently and can be easily transferred and shared with different systems and authorities. This way, you can meet the five-year retention obligation and ensure that data is readily available – now and in the future.
Tracking Cloud® contains all required tools, features, APIs, and technologies needed to handle the requirements of EUDR in a single ready-to-run package:
● Advanced tools for collecting & sharing data
● Dynamic Open APIs for easy integrations to any other system
● Full-blown mobile tools with offline capabilities
● Master Data Management (MDM) capabilities
● Support for the latest technology standards such as EPCIS
Bluugo is a partner of GS1, the global leader in supply chain standards. This ensures our platform has excellent capabilities for utilizing common technology standards such as EPCIS and Digital Link, and the Synkka product information service.
The EUDR is not the only regulation that will have a big impact on companies operating in the EU in the near future.
Various other regulations, e.g. the Digital Product Passport (DPP) and Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) will force companies to rethink their processes even further in the upcoming years.
Tracking Cloud® allows you to add new modules or features to your solution over time as the requirements change. This ability to adapt incrementally ensures the platform continues to meet your evolving regulatory needs without heavy rework.
