The problem

Certifications are everywhere. A central record rarely is.

Most timber companies manage certifications the same way: by email, in folders, across inboxes. It works until it does not.

Fragmented across suppliers

Every supplier delivers certifications in a different format, at a different time, through a different channel. No single source of truth, only a collection of files scattered across inboxes and shared drives.

Managed manually by email

Certificates are requested, chased, received, and filed manually. When a document expires, nobody is automatically notified. When an auditor asks, someone has to search for it.

Hard to verify at scale

Confirming that every active supplier holds a valid certification, and that it covers the products in every shipment, is nearly impossible to do consistently without a structured system.

What Timberhub does

One place for every certification in your supply chain.

Timberhub collects, validates, and structures certification data from your suppliers, and links it directly to the products, orders, and shipments it covers.

Certification data is collected from suppliers as part of the onboarding workflow, not chased separately by email.

Documents are validated against certificate type requirements: issuing body, scope, expiry date, and product coverage.

Each certification is linked to the relevant product catalogue entries and automatically associated with the shipments it applies to.

Records remain accessible across workflows: visible to your team, shareable with buyers, and audit-ready at any point.

Supported certifications
FSC
Forest Stewardship Council
Verifies responsible forest management. Required by many EU buyers and retailers as proof of sustainable sourcing.
PEFC
Programme for Endorsement of Forest Certification
An alternative certification standard widely recognised across European timber markets, particularly for temperate and boreal wood.
ISPM15
Phytosanitary Certificate
Required for most timber crossing international borders. Confirms heat treatment or other pest-control measures. Processed automatically in Timberhub.
How it works

How certifications move through the system.

01
Supplier provides data
Certification details and documents are collected during onboarding, or updated as part of a structured request workflow.
02
Validated automatically
The system checks certificate type, issuing body, scope, and expiry. Anomalies are flagged for review. Routine processing needs no manual step.
03
Linked to products
Each certificate is associated with the specific products and product categories it covers, not stored generically as a file.
04
Accessible in workflows
Certifications are visible on orders, shareable with buyers, and included automatically in shipment documentation and audit packages.
Certifications & EUDR

Certifications support EUDR, but they don't replace it.

FSC and PEFC are the foundation. EUDR adds three things on top — geolocation, risk assessment, and a filed Due Diligence Statement per shipment. Here's the gap, clearly:

FSC & PEFC certify
Responsible forest management
  • Sustainable forestry practices, audited periodically
  • Chain-of-custody tracking through the supply chain
  • Recognised mark accepted across procurement specs

EUDR additionally requires
Per-shipment due diligence
  • Plot-level geolocationPolygon coordinates for every concession or plot, per shipment
  • Deforestation risk assessmentCross-checked against the post-2020 cut-off (31 Dec 2020)
  • Due Diligence StatementFiled in TRACES with a reference number returned to the buyer

Discuss your setup

Compliance is a conversation, not a pitch.

We start by mapping what you already manage: certifications, EUDR records, supplier documentation, and where the real gaps are. Then we tell you what Timberhub can take off your plate, and what we can't.
