Verdex
EUDR pre-screening for agricultural exporters.
Pre-screens agricultural plots against EUDR Article 3 deforestation-free criteria using Hansen forest loss, JRC degradation, and WDPA data — then prepares a draft Due Diligence Statement for legal review.
Job in the service: Geospatial testing module — deforestation screening plus polygon integrity: duplicates across farmer records, overlapping boundaries, implausible areas, drawn-not-walked geometry.
Custom-built for our services. We built Verdex to deliver our verification reviews. Its output is part of what you get when you commission one — it isn't sold or accessed separately, and we never ask a client to migrate into it. It is described here so you can see how a review is actually run.
EUDR pre-screening for agricultural exporters.
The EU Deforestation Regulation requires due diligence on every plot supplying covered commodities. Verdex moves the check upstream: upload your plot polygons; we run them against Hansen global forest loss, JRC degradation, WDPA protected areas, plus fire and urban classification layers. You get a per-plot risk rating — pass, watch, or fail — and a draft Due Diligence Statement for your legal team.
Built for the workflow. Verdex sits upstream of legal review and TRACES submission — surfacing risky plots before they propagate down the supply chain.

Who actually uses Verdex.
Cooperatives & producer groups
Pre-screen member-farmer plots before submitting them to traders, so non-compliant plots don't propagate down the chain.
Traders & aggregators
Batch-verify plots from multiple cooperatives; route the failures back upstream before legal review.
EU importers & first-placers
Independent pre-screen against the same satellite evidence sources EU regulators will use.
