Timberlog: • enter permits in two minutes — by QR scan (Slovenia), manually, or as a no-permit harvest • capture plot geolocation with one tap (GeoJSON for the official EU system) • automatic harvest records under the active permit — measure as usual • simplified EUDR declaration in under 5 minutes — submit once, update only on change; export as text, CSV, PDF or GeoJSON • reference number vault (5-year retention) — for sawmills and traders too EUDR record-keeping is FREE all season; a paid upgrade unlocks exporting and submitting the declaration. Timberlog helps collect and store data; it is not legal advice and does not guarantee compliance. You submit the statement yourself in the official EU system. WHO IT'S FOR Log scalers, timber cruisers, sawmills, firewood sellers, chainsaw owners, and logging crews working with skidders and tractors. FREE + PRO The calculator is free. Pro removes all ads.
