Case Study: Walter Matter achieves scalable EUDR compliance with Picterra

Deforestation change detection and risk assessment for EUDR compliance

Walter Matter, a family-owned merchant of coffee and cocoa, faced the complex challenge of ensuring EUDR compliance across its vast network of smallholder farms. Their lean team needed to process fragmented data at scale, standardize inputs, and generate reliable evidence without increasing operational complexity. They turned to Picterra for a solution involving GeoAI and deforestation monitoring.

Partnering with Picterra, they implemented a system that automatically corrects data inconsistencies and performs satellite-based deforestation risk assessments. This allowed their operational team to generate auditable reports without requiring GIS expertise. As a result, Walter Matter has analyzed over 500,000 plots across 26 countries, verified more than 1,000 shipments, and gained a stronger, better-informed view of their supply chain risks.
