Sourcemap Launches EU TRACES and SAP Integration to Streamline EUDR Compliance for Businesses
Sourcemap Integrates with EU TRACES and SAP for Enhanced EUDR Compliance
In a pivotal move for supply chain management, Sourcemap, the leader in supply chain regulatory software, has successfully integrated its platform with the EU TRACES system and SAP ERP, catering specifically to EUDR (EU Deforestation Regulation) customers. This breakthrough allows businesses to ensure compliance without interrupting their daily operations, positioning Sourcemap as a crucial player in the evolving landscape of global trade compliance.
Automated Workflow and Real-Time Compliance
The integration introduces a fully automated EUDR solution that effectively manages compliance processes. This innovative system maps each shipment back to its source, including the original farms and forests, while utilizing satellite imagery to scan for deforestation. The process includes generating a Due Diligence Statement that is electronically submitted to the EU TRACES platform in mere minutes.
As highlighted by Leonardo Bonanni, CEO and Founder of Sourcemap, "Achieving instant EUDR compliance is mission-critical for importers, manufacturers, retailers, and exporters. Our platform is the only live ERP and EU Customs integrated solution capable of handling the extensive data required for compliance."
The system is designed to be triggered by an automated ERP API, thus eliminating the need for manual interventions during regular operations. This functionality ensures efficiency and compliance, allowing businesses to focus on their core activities while maintaining regulatory standards.
Extensive Reach Across Europe
Sourcemap's EUDR solution has already gone live with some of the largest grocery, retail, electronics, and food corporations in Europe. The impact is significant, with the system monitoring thousands of locations and millions of shipments across all 44 EU member countries. By ensuring compliance with the EU's stringent environmental regulations, businesses are better equipped to navigate the complexities of international trade.
