How Singapore Tong Teik Turned EUDR Compliance into a Business Advantage

Without a single geospatial specialist in-house, the Singapore rubber trader verified its entire supply chain, cleaned up supplier data, and won new business in the process.

Success Highlights

Verified GeoJSON data across rubber suppliers without an in-house geospatial team
Flagged non-compliant plots and guided producers on corrective actions
Generated audit-ready due diligence reports trusted by global tire manufacturers
Turned compliance capability into a commercial edge, winning a new client

Key Needs

As a trader operating between producers and global brands, Singapore Tong Teik needed to ensure the rubber they sourced was compliant with the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). Yet, internally verifying GeoJSON data quality and running geospatial satellite checks was complex and time-consuming. Short of hiring geospatial specialists, it was nearly impossible to verify producer data at scale or advise producers on corrective actions with accuracy.
