# Restoration Scope for EUDR Compliance

Last updated: 2026-10-21

Restoration Scope is software for the cooperatives, exporters and importers doing EU Deforestation Regulation due diligence. Map every plot, trace each lot back to its farms, and review each plot against the 31 December 2020 cutoff before your due diligence statement.

The screens show a fictional coffee cooperative in San Martín, Peru. Its producers, plots and lots are invented; check results, statement statuses and field visits are examples.

[Discuss a free pilot](https://cal.com/bernat/restoration-scope-full). Free pilot. Organisation plans by quote. NDA optional. We show you the 78-plot demo on the call.

## Three teams, one record per plot

The field team maps the plots, the production team records harvests and lots, and the compliance team reviews the evidence. Each team sees its own part of the same plots.

### Field team: Mapping

The people who visit the producers. They map every plot and update it when something changes on the ground.

#### Is every plot located the way the regulation asks?

Record each plot as a boundary, or as a single point when it is 4 hectares or less. Bring in the spreadsheet, KML, shapefile or GeoJSON you already have, then see the whole supply base on one map, each plot marked to map, needs a fix or mapped.

#### How do we map every producer’s plots, and keep them current?

Field teams walk each boundary on a phone, without signal if they need to, and record the visit. When a boundary moves or a field is replanted, they update the plot, so the next lot starts from what is on the ground.

### Production team: Harvest and lots

The people who record harvests and assemble lots for buyers.

#### Which farms did this lot come from?

Record each producer’s harvest by plot, in kilograms, and group it into lots. Open a lot and see every farm in it, with its producer, area and harvest, on the map.

#### What do we hand our EU buyer?

Each lot keeps the commodity, HS code, country and harvest window your buyer asks for. In the demo, download a lot’s plot file with its boundaries and points; we agree the setup for your supply base during the free pilot. You or your buyer file the statement.

### Compliance team: Assessments

The people who prepare the due diligence. They review each plot against the 31 December 2020 cutoff and follow up the ones that need a closer look.

#### Was this land forest on 31 December 2020?

Turn on the JRC 2020 forest map, JRC Tropical Moist Forest and recent disturbance alerts over your plots. In the demo, compare selected before-and-after imagery for a plot; we agree the setup for your supply base during the free pilot. Your team reviews what it sees and sets the plot’s review status: reviewed, in review or needs follow-up.

#### Which plots need a closer look?

Data quality lists the plots that need a fix: not mapped yet, a point used for a plot over 4 hectares, or a mapped area that differs from the declared one. The field team gets the same items as tasks. When a plot needs more than a fix, open a risk case and follow it to its close.

## Start from the files you already have

Plot lists, boundaries and producer records come in from spreadsheets, KML, shapefiles, GeoJSON and survey forms. Your team keeps the tools it uses now. For example: Excel, Google Sheets, KoboToolbox, QGIS, ArcGIS. [All data connections](https://restorationscope.com/data-connections).

## Questions about EUDR due diligence

### Does Restoration Scope make us EUDR compliant?

No software can. Restoration Scope keeps the plot locations, imagery, review notes and lot records your due diligence relies on, and prepares each lot’s geolocation file. Your team, or your EU buyer, makes the risk assessment and files the due diligence statement.

### Do you check plots against the 2020 cutoff automatically?

No. You see each plot over the JRC 2020 forest map and recent disturbance alerts. Your team reviews them and records the result on the plot.

### Do you file the due diligence statement in TRACES?

No. You or your buyer file the statement in the EU information system. In the demo, each lot downloads a GeoJSON file of its plots to attach to it.

### When does a plot need a polygon instead of a point?

Plots of more than 4 hectares need a boundary polygon, except for cattle. A plot of 4 hectares or less can be a single point with six decimal places.

### When does the EUDR apply?

The rules apply from 30 December 2026. Qualifying micro and small operators established as such by 31 December 2024 have until 30 June 2027, except for EUTR-listed products. Traders and downstream operators follow the December 2026 date. Under Regulation (EU) 2025/2650, checked October 2026.

### Can field teams map plots without signal?

Yes. The Field App runs on iOS and Android, keeps working without signal and syncs boundaries, records and photos when the phone reconnects.

### How do we start?

With a free pilot on your own plots: send us the files you have, and we set up your plots, producers and lots with you. We can sign an NDA if you want one.
