1. Technology overview
LiveEO was founded in 2018 in Berlin and turns satellite data into AI-based insights for utilities, oil and gas operators and commodity buyers. TradeAware addresses the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), which requires importers of commodities such as wood, rubber or coffee to prove that their sourcing plots are deforestation-free and legal.
The software combines satellite-AI deforestation and degradation detection at an effective 5 m resolution with legality reviews by local experts in more than 80 countries. Suppliers are onboarded through a free supplier client and questionnaires, data flows to ERP and procurement systems through an API, and Due Diligence Statements are created and submitted to the EU TRACES system. Users include manufacturers, retailers and natural rubber processors in Thailand and Indonesia.
2. Highlighted features & specifications
- Precision Analytics: satellite-AI detection of deforestation and forest degradation on supplier plots.
- Legality Risk Assessment: review of land titles and permits with local experts.
- Supplier Data Collection: guided multi-tier onboarding through a free supplier client.
- DDS and TRACES integration: creation and bulk submission of Due Diligence Statements.
- API integration: ERP-agnostic connectors to procurement and compliance systems.
- TradeAware Professional: self-service edition launched in 2026 for smaller teams.
3. Potential application
- Coffee exporters in the Central Highlands mapping farmer plots and proving deforestation-free status to EU roasters.
- Rubber and wood processors preparing Due Diligence Statements for European customers.
- Furniture manufacturers checking timber supply chains before export.
4. Benefits
- LiveEO reports up to 95-98% fewer false positives in deforestation alerts and about 98% accuracy validated by customer ground truthing.
- Automated supplier outreach cuts manual follow-ups by about 80% and saves up to 4 hours of compliance work per supplier per quarter.
- One workflow from plot data to DDS submission in TRACES.
- Typical onboarding in about four weeks.
5. Market trends & opportunities
EUDR applies to cattle, cocoa, coffee, oil palm, rubber, soy and wood products placed on the EU market. Southeast Asian exporters of coffee, rubber, timber and palm oil, including many Vietnamese firms, need plot-level geolocation and deforestation evidence to keep selling to European buyers, which drives demand for satellite-based due diligence tools.
