Published

resourcewise-launches-forest-trackt™:-a-comprehensive-solution-for-eudr-compliance

CHARLOTTE, N.C, Oct. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — ResourceWise®, a leading provider of pricing, market intelligence and sustainability solutions, is proud to announce the launch of Forest Trackt™, an end-to-end compliance solution designed to help companies adhere to the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). This innovative technology is set to transform how businesses demonstrate supply chain transparency.

Forest Trackt integrates advanced technology, including automated geo-location of source coordinates, machine learning, and advanced algorithms, to enable businesses to trace the origins of wood-based commodities accurately. Forest Trackt enhances transparency across the supply chain, providing a robust framework for meeting the stringent requirements of the EUDR.
Key features of Forest Trackt include:
Geo-Location Data Acquisition: Employs the user-friendly ForestLogger mobile app to collect precise geo-location data with no cellular connection. This ensures accurate and efficient data gathering and polygon definition, even in remote areas.Point-to-Polygon JSON Files: Automates the creation of required geo-location data files to comply with EUDR. One significant challenge for EUDR compliance is the requirement to provide vast amounts of geo-location data. Forest Trackt replaces manual data entry, reducing cost and errors while providing more accurate data and ensuring full traceability of wood-based products.Predictive Risk Assessment: Offers multi-factor risk assessment to pre-qualify tracts, conduct the required risk assessment, and demonstrate a robust risk management program as required by EUDR.Tokenization System: Tracks wood-based raw materials from the forest through the supply chain to the end product and market, solving the many-to-many problem of forest and sawmill residuals.Centralized Data Package Delivered to the EU: Transfers all data from a centralized database to the EU via API.Forest Trackt is engineered to streamline compliance, minimizing manual workload while maximizing compliance accuracy and assuring audit readiness. Businesses that adopt this solution can look forward to increased efficiency and reduced risk of non-compliance penalties, thus future-proofing themselves against evolving regulatory landscapes.
“The penalties for failing to comply with EUDR are steep. For example, US manufacturers of pellets, pulp, paper, and lumber have roughly $4 billion in revenue at risk. At ResourceWise, we recognize the challenges companies face in implementing transparency standards,” said Pete Stewart, CEO of ResourceWise. “With Forest Trackt, we aim to simplify compliance processes and empower businesses to achieve their sustainability goals with confidence and ease.”                                                                             
“The regulatory environment for the forest products industry is becoming more complex,” said Stewart. “With the launch of Forest Trackt, ResourceWise continues its commitment to helping those in the forest products industry meet their financial and sustainability goals.”

Simplified, cost-effective package empowers Managed Service Providers to enter the endpoint MDR market.
LONDON, Oct. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — VIPRE Security Group, a global leader and award-winning cybersecurity, privacy, and data protection company, today launched a new combined VIPRE Endpoint EDR+MDR package. This single, simplified, and streamlined managed protection package provides organisations of all sizes with cost-effective, advanced, and around-the-clock endpoint security. For managed service providers (MSPs), this solution provides a genuine opportunity for portfolio expansion to offer Managed Detection & Response (MDR) services to customers.

With this powerful all-in-one VIPRE Endpoint EDR+MDR solution, organisations receive top-tier Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) capabilities, such as threat detection, DNS protection, ransomware rollback, patch, and vulnerability management — alongside a fully managed threat incident response led by an experienced forensics team. This includes 24x7x365 coverage backed by stringent service level agreement guarantees, managed containment and remediation, threat hunting and forensic analysis, and more.
“This new packaged solution directly addresses the security and budgetary challenges identified by our customers and MSP channel partners,” Usman Choudhary, General Manager and CTPO at VIPRE Security Group, elaborated. “The security landscape is complex and challenging.
