By hand vs. automated

Doing EUDR by hand vs. with Spureon

EUDR Navigator's free tools take you through every stage of compliance by hand. That works, until you have hundreds of products and dozens of suppliers. Here's the same workflow, the manual way versus automated with Spureon, the compliance software from the same team.

TL;DR

The manual route is fine for a handful of products. Once your catalogue and supplier base grow, EUDR turns into a documentation project that never ends: re-classifying articles, re-scoring suppliers, rebuilding statements every cycle. Spureon automates the repetitive parts so compliance becomes something you review, not something you redo.

The workflow, stage by stage

Each stage has a free Navigator tool for the manual route. Spureon does the same stage automatically, and connects them end to end.

Scope & classification

Check each product against Annex I and its customs (CN) code by hand, article by article.

Scope Checker

Upload your catalogue. Spureon derives HS codes and flags every in-scope product automatically.

Your obligations

Work out your role and size, then figure out which duties apply and in what order.

Obligations Checker

Spureon maps the obligations to each product and drives the workflow that satisfies them.

Country & supplier risk

Look up every sourcing country on the EU benchmark list and re-check when it changes.

Country Risk List

Every supplier is scored against the EU benchmarks automatically, and kept current as the list moves.

Geolocation

Collect plot coordinates, map them one by one, and eyeball them against deforestation data.

Geolocation Tool

Spureon ingests and validates geolocation at scale and checks it against deforestation datasets.

Supplier data collection

Send request templates, chase suppliers, and reconcile everything across spreadsheets.

Supplier Data Templates

Collect once. Spureon structures, validates and stores it, ready to reuse.

Due Diligence Statement

Assemble the evidence and write up a Due Diligence Statement for each consignment.

An audit-ready Due Diligence Statement is generated for you from the data already collected.

TRACES submission

File in the EU TRACES portal line by line, then track reference numbers by hand.

Spureon preps the submission and files reference numbers automatically.

The next cycle

Start most of it over for the next shipment, season or product line.

Data is reused across cycles, so only what actually changed needs your attention.

The free tools aren't going anywhere

EUDR Navigator's explainers and tools stay free. This page just shows where the manual route stops scaling, and what automating it looks like. Use whichever fits where you are.
