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.
