Deforestation legislation influences many business processes
Companies are required to collect detailed information that demonstrates their products’ compliance with the EUDR. This involves a lot of manual work and necessitates a reliable database management system.
The data-gathering process can be particularly challenging for smallholder farmers who may lack the technical and financial capacity to meet the stringent due diligence requirements of the regulations.
The EUDR requires companies to ensure that the products they import are produced in compliance with local laws and regulations. This necessitates a robust order management system that can track the origin of each product and ensure its legality. However, achieving the objectives has often proved difficult and problematic due to a time and resource-consuming implementation process.

Working with GIS maps and EU Observatory tools is crucial for verifying the absence of deforestation. Incorrect validation can lead to the rejection of the entire delivery.
Geolocation data in supply chains such as farm plots, millers, and processing locations can be difficult and costly to obtain, often incomplete, relying on historical records or information distributed across many supply chain partners or simply not available at all.

Data Gathering from Suppliers and Database Management
Geodata validation
Ensuring correct reporting on EUDR involves not only collecting data but also interacting with downstream and upstream partners.
Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems often fall short when it comes to managing data below the SKU-batch level, such as Reference IDs for the Due Diligence Statements.
Thus, there is often an uncertainty about what Due Diligence Statements belong to the specific sales order. This necessitates a complex change of the inventory management system and physical storage process, which may be too costly and even undoable.

Due diligence is a complicated process that involves a comprehensive supply management approach. It creates a significant manual effort, if not automated.
The process requires data to be stored for years, necessitating a system to assist with due diligence and authorities' requests.
