Timber traceability · EUDR compliance
Do not lose an EU buyer over paperwork you never got around to.
Cambium tracks your timber from stump to export — it collects data from your suppliers, keeps origin attached through processing, and produces the proof your buyer asks for on every shipment. In an hour, not a day.
No obligation. We will walk through your own situation and tell you whether it pays off.
The problem you already know
You know it is coming. You just have not got around to it yet.
From the end of 2026 the EU requires proof of timber origin for every shipment. Companies that cannot deliver it lose customers — because the buyer is not legally allowed to accept the goods without it. Here is where most sawmills get stuck:
-
Chasing data
Thirty suppliers, thirty phone calls. Harvest permits arrive on paper, late, and half of them are incomplete. Weeks of work for a single season.
-
The trail is lost in the mill
Once lots get mixed in the kiln, who still knows which plot a given board came from? And that is exactly what the buyer asks for — proof down to the plot.
-
You cannot see where you lose
How much yield does each supplier actually give you? Without accurate records you pay the same price for poorer logs — and never find out.
How Cambium works
One system, from forest to export.
Nothing complicated. Cambium works the way your sawmill already works — just without the paper and without losing the trail.
-
Suppliers submit their own data
The supplier gets a link — no account, no installation. They attach the harvest permit, capture the location with their phone, and enter the forest compartment and sub-compartment. You stop chasing data; the data comes to you.
-
Origin stays attached through processing
As logs enter the mill, through sawing and drying — even when lots get mixed — Cambium remembers what came from where. For any board, you know which plot it came from.
-
Proof for the buyer in seconds
When a shipment goes out, Cambium assembles the due diligence record your EU buyer needs. Instead of digging through folders — one click, and you are ready for any inspection.
-
Ready for the EU system (TRACES)
All data prepared exactly the way the EU system expects it — plot geolocation, volumes, commodity codes. Submission becomes a formality, not a nightmare.
Why it pays off
This is not a cost for the EU. It is a tool that gives you money back.
Most compliance software just takes your money and adds work. Cambium does the opposite — along the way, it shows you where you are losing.
-
Keep your customers
You are ready ahead of the deadline while the competition scrambles at the last minute. Your buyer stays with you because you can give them what they need.
-
See yield per supplier
For the first time you clearly see which supplier gives you the poorer recovery rate. Across a year of purchasing, that is thousands you have been losing blind.
-
Less paper, fewer mistakes
What used to take days is done in an hour. No lost permits, no manual re-typing, no panic before an audit.
The deadline is close
For the timber sector there is no delay for small companies.
From 30 December 2026 the rules apply to everyone exporting to the EU — large and small alike. A company that starts collecting coordinates from its suppliers in November will not make it. Whoever starts on time gets through calmly.
Rules take effect
Why Cambium, not foreign software
Built for the way you actually work.
-
Works with harvest permits and forest compartments
The way forest enterprises here actually hand over data — not an abstract cadastre nobody has.
-
In your language
You and your suppliers use the system without translating anything and without confusion.
-
Supports mills that harvest themselves
Not only those that buy ready-cut. If you run your own harvest, Cambium covers plot geolocation too.
-
Local support
A person you can call — not a ticket system in a foreign language that answers in three days.
