The Supplier Management section of the platform is designed to give users more than just a way to catalog suppliers. It allows you to perform a supplier-level assessment: a crucial step that happens before any commercial commitment.
In the broader traceability framework, this means that even before discussing orders, volumes, or specific commodities, the platform enables you to analyze and verify suppliers.
Who is a supplier?
A supplier can be:
a farm,
a plot owner,
a commodity producer,
a product manufacturer.
In short, anyone providing products or raw materials into the supply chain. Under the EUDR regulation, suppliers must be verified for compliance, not just the plots. In practice, when you work with a supplier, you work with all of their plots.
The supplier screen: what you’ll see
In the supplier dashboard, you’ll find a clear overview including:
the number of plots linked to the supplier,
the combined area of all plots,
the percentage of commodities and products managed by that supplier,
the EUDR compliance ratio across all their plots.
This lets you instantly see whether a supplier is fully compliant or if there are risks you need to address.
From plot to supplier: a higher-level view
Plots can still be created and uploaded as usual:
by drawing them directly on the map,
by uploading geospatial formats,
or by importing CSV files.
Once uploaded, each plot goes through the standard EUDR compliance screening. The new advantage of supplier management is the ability to view aggregated statistics at supplier level, so you can evaluate compliance beyond individual plots.
Why is this useful?
With this top-level perspective, you can:
Identify suppliers who are fully compliant,
Spot non-compliant plots before they become an issue in due diligence statements (DDS),
Use filters and exportable CSV reports to share compliance information directly with suppliers and request clarification or confirmation.
Working with source DDS
The feature also supports source DDS management. This comes into play when a supplier operates further up the supply chain, or example, when they no longer manage individual plots or are already importing processed commodities. In these cases, the supplier can provide a DDS reference number, which is then combined with a verification number to complete compliance validation.
Final thoughts
Supplier Management allows you to move beyond a “plot-by-plot” approach toward a strategic supplier-level assessment. By verifying supplier compliance early, you reduce risks, save time, and strengthen transparency across your supply chain.
