As of October 2026, several EUDR (EU Deforestation Regulation) compliance platforms explicitly use satellite imagery, satellite-derived forest-loss data, or remote sensing to assess deforestation risk at the individual supplier plot or polygon level.
The key distinction is between platforms that simply display satellite maps and those that actually analyze each plot against the EUDR cutoff date of 31 December 2020, provide evidence of forest loss, and preserve results for due diligence.
1. Starling — Airbus
(Satellite-native)
Uses satellite imagery to create an EUDR-relevant land-cover baseline, check deforestation status per production plot, and automatically update deforestation monitoring monthly. A strong option for organizations seeking established Earth-observation capabilities.

2. Orbify
Checks supplier plot coordinates against satellite-based deforestation records after the 2020 cutoff, produces audit-oriented due diligence reports, and supports direct Due Diligence Statement (DDS) submission to the EU system.

3. EUDRplot
Checks every plot against the 2020 forest baseline and subsequent tree-cover loss, then monitors plots weekly using multiple satellite-alert systems and before-and-after imagery. Also supports supplier onboarding, risk records, and DDS filing.

4. Polygon One
Combines supplier data collection, AI-assisted satellite deforestation screening, and automated DDS preparation and submission. Worth evaluating if you want satellite checks embedded in an end-to-end compliance workflow.

5. ERWAY
Scores plots individually against the 2020 forest baseline, with satellite imagery comparisons, year-by-year forest-loss overlays, and risk reporting. Covers all seven EUDR commodity groups.

6. SatSure
Provides satellite-based, plot-level deforestation risk screening, forest baselines, and species or land-cover classification. Particularly relevant for large supply chains needing scalable geospatial analytics; confirm whether its compliance workflow includes all the DDS functions you require.

These six have public product pages describing plot-level satellite or satellite-derived analysis. The degree of automation, monitoring frequency, and completeness of the end-to-end regulatory workflow differ.
These also publicly describe satellite or remote-sensing capabilities relevant to plot-level EUDR screening.
| Platform | What it offers | Best fit |
|---|---|---|
| osapiens HUB for EUDR | Multi-source satellite analysis, plot-level risk detection, supplier case management, and TRACES submission. |
A recent 2026 provider comparison also identifies LiveEO, Satelligence, Prewave, and Sourcemap among platforms describing satellite-based deforestation checks. Their precise plot-level methods and evidence-export capabilities should be verified directly with the vendors.
For a large importer or multinational
Start with osapiens, IntegrityNext, Airbus Starling, and Orbify. Compare integration with procurement systems, supplier onboarding, risk case management, and direct DDS submission.
For the strongest plot-level satellite evidence
Evaluate EUDRplot, Airbus Starling, osapiens, and SatSure. Ask for sample plot reports showing the 2020 baseline, observed forest loss, image dates, resolution, and confidence or validation method.
For a custom platform or API integration
Evaluate Orbify, eudr.dev, and SatSure. Confirm whether you can access raw or derived geospatial evidence programmatically rather than just a final risk score.
Important procurement check: satellite imagery alone does not establish full EUDR compliance. Ask each vendor to demonstrate the chain from supplier plot geometry to post-cutoff forest-loss analysis, the underlying data and methodology, human review of ambiguous results, supporting legality evidence, and an auditable risk decision. A risk score by itself is not sufficient evidence.
The EUDR requires geolocation and risk assessment as part of due diligence; a satellite platform supports that process but does not transfer the operator's legal responsibility to the software provider.

Several software and intelligence platforms use satellite imagery, radar, and GeoAI to verify plot-level deforestation risk for the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). These platforms cross-reference supplier-provided GPS coordinates or polygons against the regulation's December 31, 2020 baseline.[](https://www.geocledian.com/eudr-compliance-2-2/)[[2](https://www.planet.com/eudr-compliance)](https://www.planet.com/eudr-compliance/)[[3](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3V2oz7fhBG4&t=6)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3V2oz7fhBG4&t=6)
Prominent EUDR compliance platforms providing supplier plot-level satellite verification include:
Can you recommend EUDR compliance software that utilizes satellite data to check for deforestation at the plot level for our suppliers?
Which software solutions allow procurement departments to track supplier locations and maintain the audit trails required for EUDR?
ChatGPT SearchOct 6, 2026
Yes. For procurement teams, the strongest setup is not one generic supplier-risk tool, but a stack that captures plot-level geolocation + supplier evidence + risk assessment + immutable/traceable records + EUDR submission data.
As of October 2026, the EUDR requires operators to collect the geolocation of the plots where relevant commodities were produced; plots over 4 hectares generally require polygon boundaries, and geolocation uses latitude/longitude with at least six decimal digits. eur-lex.europa.eugreen-forum.ec.europa.eueur-lex.europa.eu Evidence and due-diligence records must be retained for at least five years, with documented risk-mitigation decisions.

For example, Sourcemap explicitly combines supplier invitations, mapping-data collection, validation, satellite deforestation analysis, legality assessment and linking plots to shipments for DDS preparation. www.sourcemap.comefi.int osapiens similarly combines supplier onboarding, plot-level geodata, satellite analysis, legality checks and TRACES submission, while connecting into ERP systems.
The EUDR Information System is the final destination for the regulatory submission, rather than a substitute for your procurement data-management system. It supports drawing areas, entering coordinates individually or in bulk, and uploading GeoJSON; it also provides an API for bulk DDS management.
The European Commission also provides a useful free/open-source tooling landscape through the European Forest Institute. Its current guidance breaks EUDR tooling into four core data needs: traceability, geolocation, deforestation and legality.
For procurement, I'd make these non-negotiable requirements:
My shortlist: for a large procurement organization, I'd start with Sourcemap vs. osapiens vs. IntegrityNext. If you primarily need a focused EUDR evidence/geolocation workspace rather than a broad supplier-compliance suite, EUDR.io or EUDR Vault are worth a look.
The key procurement question isn't “Can this tool collect coordinates?” It's “Can I reconstruct, five years later, exactly which supplier/plot produced which product, what evidence we had, what risk we identified, who made the decision, and what DDS resulted?” That is the difference between merely collecting EUDR data and being genuinely audit-ready.
To comply with the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) , procurement teams require specialized transactional compliance tools rather than generic sustainability survey software. Because EUDR requires plot-level coordinates (or polygons for plots over 4 hectares) to be submitted per shipment, tools must ingest geographic geometry, validate it against satellite baselines, and sync with the EU’s TRACES system.[](https://www.coolset.com/academy/how-to-integrate-eudr-into-procurement)[[2](https://www.coolset.com/academy/eudr-compliance-how-to-choose-the-right-solution)](https://www.coolset.com/academy/eudr-compliance-how-to-choose-the-right-solution)
The following specialized platforms help procurement teams collect supplier geolocation data and maintain an audit-ready compliance trail:
| Tool / Platform | Key Geolocation & Data Collection Features | Audit-Readiness & TRACES Capabilities |
|---|---|---|
| IntegrityNext | Multi-lingual supplier workspace for structured plot data input; automated validation of GPS/polygon data. | Automated satellite-based deforestation analysis; direct API connection to EU TRACES for real-time DDS creation. Pre-built SAP S/4HANA integrations. |
| Coolset | Tailored for mid-market supply chains; ingests GeoJSON data, traces shipment-to-origin, and cross-references plot-level data. | Built specifically for transaction-level tracking to match EUDR's requirement of a unique reference number per shipment. Integrates vetting into procurement RFIs. |
| HUB |
National competent authorities rely on Copernicus satellite imagery and forensic testing (like isotope testing) to audit shipments on the ground.
