Coolset, a Dutch leader in ESG and supply chain compliance software, has launched its EUDR module - a structured solution designed to help operators and traders meet the requirements of the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) before enforcement begins in late 2025.

EUDR enforcement closing in

The EUDR introduces strict obligations for companies placing forest-risk products on the EU market. By 30 December 2025 (for operators and large traders) and 30 June 2026 (for SME traders), businesses must submit a Due Diligence Statement (DDS) for every shipment, proving legality, traceability and deforestation-free origin.

Unlike reporting-focused frameworks like CSRD or EU Taxonomy, EUDR is enforced at the border. A single missed DDS can block shipments, delay orders, and expose businesses to audits, hefty fines and reputational risk.

Yet many mid-sized importers and distributors are still relying on spreadsheets, email chains and fragile documentation. For teams already stretched across procurement, logistics and compliance, it’s tough to keep up.

From SKU import to DDS submission in one end-to-end system

Coolset’s EUDR module gives companies a complete, auditable workflow to stay compliant without slowing down operations. Every step - from supplier outreach to TRACES submission - is designed to reduce delays, eliminate rework and fit into existing systems.

With Coolset, companies can:

• Upload shipment data and identify in-scope suppliers, commodities and origins in minutes.
• Request and collect satellite, harvest and legality data from n-tier suppliers and keep track of their status.
• Automatically flag risks and trigger mitigation steps before goods enter or move in EU territory.
• Generate and automatically submit TRACES-ready DDSs with linked evidence and version control.
• Store five years of shipment data, risk assessments and documentation with full traceability.

Built for complex supply chains under time pressure to comply

Coolset is purpose-built for companies with distributed supplier networks and fast-moving operations, where there’s no room for delays, manual error, or uncertainty about compliance.

With Coolset, companies benefit from:

• Seamless connection to existing processes

Coolset integrates directly with ERP systems and spreadsheets, so teams can start working without changing how they operate.

• Free supplier access

Any supplier can submit required data at no cost, including n-tier vendors who are often the hardest to engage.

• Embedded satellite intelligence

Detect deforestation proactively with built-in Sentinel-2 imagery and Continuous Change Detection (CCDC), without needing GIS expertise.

• Automated risk assessment

Verified documentation with explainable AI, with the option to layer in human review through global audit partners for added assurance.

One system for procurement, compliance and quality teams

Coolset is built for the cross-functional nature of EUDR, where procurement, quality and compliance teams all need to work in sync.

“With Coolset, every team gets what they need. Compliance teams work in structured, audit-ready workflows, while supply chain and quality teams gain access to traceability tools, verifiable sourcing records, and transparent risk assessments,” says Konstantinos Kouzelis, Coolset CEO.
