    Polygon One

    Polygon One's site describes geolocation capture for production areas, satellite deforestation screening against the 31 December 2020 baseline, a due diligence workflow aligned to Articles 9-11, and submission of due diligence declarations to TRACES. The same platform also covers the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation.

    GeoJSON and point geodata intakeDocumented by vendor

    The geodata article describes GeoJSON upload, a browser map editor and API submission, with WGS84 decimal degrees, at least six decimals, polygons above four hectares and closed-ring rules. The article lists limits (25 MB per statement, 1,000 production places per commodity line); confirm whether these are EU system limits or platform limits.

    Geodata validation gapsDepends on scope

    The article lists swapped longitude and latitude, comma decimal separators and degrees-minutes-seconds as errors not caught by the system check it describes, and advises manual verification. Test these cases against the product.

    Satellite screening and legality checksDocumented by vendor

    The EUDR page describes automated satellite comparison against the 31 December 2020 cut-off, country benchmarking and AI analysis of certificates. The method and imagery sources are not stated on the reviewed pages; accuracy is a vendor claim.

    Statement submission and reference numbersDocumented by vendor

    The pages describe submission to the EU information system via API connection, with reference numbers returned to records and kept against shipments, and an Article 5(3) record of supplier and customer numbers. Confirm whose EU Login credentials are used and how failed submissions are retried.

    ERP API, hosting and retentionDepends on scope

    The EUDR page states an ERP API, five-year retention of the compliance report and hosting on AWS in Frankfurt; the home page describes a GDPR badge. No API documentation or ERP list was found, so request them.

    Demo script

    Proposed demo: supplier geodata to submitted statement

    1. Invite a test supplier and have them upload GeoJSON containing deliberate errors.
    2. Review validation output and the satellite screening result for a flagged plot.
    3. Generate and submit a statement, then trace the reference number to the shipment.
    4. Export the compliance report and confirm the retention period.

    Ask the vendor to show you

    1. Upload a GeoJSON file with swapped coordinates, comma decimals and an open polygon ring, and show what the platform rejects or passes.
    2. Show how a statement with several hundred production places is validated and split against the stated limits.
    3. Show the satellite result for a flagged plot against the 31 December 2020 cut-off, with exportable evidence.
    4. Submit a test statement and show the reference number linked to the shipment, plus an upstream reference number recorded.
    5. Demonstrate the ERP API with a sample call and state where data is hosted.

    Checks specific to this product

    Geodata error handling:
    Upload files containing swapped coordinates, comma decimals, degrees-minutes-seconds, open rings and a point for a plot over four hectares. The article says some of these pass silently, so record exactly what the platform flags and what a reviewer must catch.
    Volume limits:
    Ask whether the 25 MB, 1,000-place and 10,000-place limits listed in the geodata article apply to the platform, and how large statements are split. Test with a realistic plot count.
    Satellite result evidence:
    For flagged and cleared plots, ask which imagery, dates and rules produced the result against the 31 December 2020 cut-off. Retain exports as evidence, treating accuracy statements as vendor claims.

    Questions the sources answer

    Does Polygon One cover anything besides EUDR?

    Its site also describes Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation support; this profile covers EUDR only.

    How does Polygon One handle reference numbers?

    Its reference-number article describes keeping numbers attached to shipments and recording incoming numbers against supply relationships; it states the platform does not determine legal roles.
