TimberID Platform

Core Features

TimberID brings together traceability, data management, and verification tools within a single platform used across timber supply chains. It structures how product, transaction, and compliance data are captured and linked, particularly through mechanisms such as electronic delivery notes and product identification systems. Some of its main features are:

• Electronic Delivery Note (eDN) – Captures transaction-level data (origin, volume, species, custody) for every movement, creating a continuous and verifiable chain of custody.

• Timber Identification (Dcode) – Physical marking system that assigns a unique, geo-referenced code to individual logs, enabling provenance verification at source.

• Due Diligence Data Management – Collects, organises, and shares supply chain data required for regulatory processes such as EUDR, with structured documentation workflows.

• Risk Analysis & Mitigation – Evaluates supply chain risk levels and supports mitigation actions such as satellite checks or physical authentication of timber.

• Certification & Chain-of-Custody Support – Integrates certification requirements (e.g. FSC, PEFC) and links them directly to transaction and product records.

• ERP & TRACES Integration – Connects with enterprise systems and EU TRACES to automate data exchange, reporting, and due diligence statement handling.

Closing Insights

TimberID is structured around the idea that traceability in timber supply chains depends on linking physical materials to digital records from the earliest stages of production. A key component is the use of Dcode marking, where individual logs are assigned a unique identifier with geolocation and timestamp data directly in the forest. This allows downstream actors to verify origin claims against a persistent data record rather than relying solely on documentation.

The platform also centres on transaction-level traceability through its electronic delivery note (eDN) system. Each movement of goods is recorded with associated compliance and business data, creating a continuous chain of custody that can be audited without reconstructing information manually. This approach supports both certification processes and regulatory reporting by ensuring that required documentation is already linked to each transaction.

TimberID is used in collaboration with certification bodies and industry organisations such as FSC, PEFC, and ATIBT, reflecting its role in formal supply chain verification environments. As requirements such as EUDR expand, its combination of first-mile identification, structured data capture, and transaction-level traceability provides a way to maintain consistent records across fragmented and multi-actor supply chains.
