Picterra unveils new solution for compliance monitoring

4 December 2024

Picterra has introduced a new all-in-one platform for plot monitoring, reporting and verification. This innovative tool is designed to support companies in the supply chains of soft commodities and forestry in meeting their compliance and sustainability objectives. 

The new platform, Picterra Tracer, simplifies and enhances the processes of creating, validating, analysing and monitoring land plots and boundaries. Leveraging satellite, drone and aerial imagery, alongside global and regional open-source layers and a user-friendly geographic interface, Picterra Tracer provides precise and reliable plot analysis.

Picterra Tracer’s automated data verification and correction tools ensure that all incoming data is accurate, consistent and compliant with regulatory standards such as the EUDR. The platform’s ability to automatically map plot boundaries from minimal information further simplifies the creation of accurate land boundaries.

Interactive data visualization features allow users to review environmental layers, such as deforestation detection, before exporting results into a comprehensive report with a single click. This functionality enhances transparency and enables effective decision-making across the supply chain.

Frank de Morsier, co-founder and COO at Picterra, highlighted the platform’s value: “Regulatory requirements such as the EUDR and the demand for transparent sustainability practices have created immense pressure on companies to manage their supply chain and associated geospatial data more effectively.”
