EUDR Compliance in EU Manufacturing
White paper overview
The report maps the technical requirements for EUDR regulatory compliance, including traceability and data integrity. It covers EUDR obligations for SMEs and non-SMEs under EU accounting thresholds, 8 business and IT implementation challenges, and reference architectures using GS1 standards with COTS platforms and custom ERP systems. The paper includes a container diagram, integration patterns, and 2 case studies with implementation budgets from €170K to €500K+.
Who this paper is for
Supply chain and procurement leaders
Building supplier visibility and plot-level traceability ahead of upcoming compliance deadlines.
CIOs and IT infrastructure leads
Integrating EUDR compliance services into ERP/MES without full migrations while preserving EU data sovereignty.
Compliance and sustainability managers
Automating DDS, satellite-backed geolocation, and deforestation checks to lower regulatory risk.
Why this white paper matters
The European Deforestation Regulation governs deforestation-linked commodities. Non-compliance can result in EU bans and penalties.
Regulatory mechanics explained
EUDR classifies companies by balance sheet, turnover, and staff count. SMEs may rely on DDS reference numbers, while non-SMEs must build full audit trails with geolocation data and supplier certifications.
Integration without disruption
Many manufacturers use custom ERP/MES platforms. This EUDR consulting paper shows how to add compliance layers – supplier portals, GeoJSON validation, and blockchain anchoring – via modular extensions.
Budget planning with real data
Pilots cost €50K–€200K over 3–6 months. SME implementations range from €100K to €500K over 6–9 months. Large-scale rollouts reach €5M+ for 9–18 months. Case studies included in the paper support cost benchmarking.
Let’s assess your technical roadmap to secure supply chains and avoid EUDR fines of up to 4% of turnover
