Free for producers. Cooperatives, exporters, and buyers pay based on network size and usage. Visit the pricing page or join the waitlist for details.

How long does setup take?

Producers can start mapping with the offline app right away. Most cooperatives upload their network and send the first request within a week.

02 · Programmes

Ready for EUDR today. Built for what comes next.

The app collects six kinds of evidence. Every programme asks for a different mix of the same six, so nothing on your farm gets captured twice.

Finca Norte

In progress2 of 5 collected

Three items left, and one of them needs your cooperative officer. The status is per plot and per programme, so you always know which farm is ready to sell and which is not.

What this programme asks for

Where the plot is — a walked boundary, or a pin under 4 ha
A photo — four views of the plot, taken on the plot
A paper you hold — the land document you already keep
A date — when the crop was harvested
An answer you give — the agreement you sign with your cooperative

New for this programme

Nothing. This is the programme the app was built around.

Only EUDR runs in the app today. The rest arrive before the end of 2026, and when they do, the plots and evidence you already hold count toward them. You will not be asked to start again.

03 · Mapping

Draw your land the way it really is.

You end with a plot with a real boundary and an area

Walking the boundary

You are here, walking the edge4 of 52.4 ha1 corner left

Walk the edge and mark each corner. The area is worked out as the shape closes. A plot under 4 ha can be a single pin instead.

No phone? Agent mode

Not having a smartphone should not cost you the market.

A cooperative field agent can capture on a producer's behalf. The plot, the photos and the consent are all recorded under the producer's name, not the agent's.

Where it goes next

What you capture is what the chain uses.

Cooperatives, exporters and buyers work from the plots you mapped, on the Tracebud Dashboard. They never ask you to map the same land again for a different programme.

Before you ask

The questions we get most.

Do I need internet to use it?+
No. Mapping, photos, documents and answering requests all work with the phone completely offline. Everything is saved on the device and sends itself the next time you have signal.
What if I do not have a smartphone?+
A cooperative field agent can capture on your behalf. The plot, photos and consent are recorded under your name, not theirs, so the record still belongs to you.
Does it cost anything?+
The Field App is free for producers, to download and to keep using. Organisations pay for the Dashboard side; producers do not pay for anything.
Who can see my plots?+
Only the people you grant access to. You can see the full list in the app at any time, and you can remove a grant later. Nothing is shared by default.
What if a buyer wants me to remap for their system?+
That is the problem this exists to remove. One capture serves every buyer you grant access to, and every programme built on the same data afterwards.
What kind of phone do I need?+
An ordinary one. Android 8 and up, or iPhone on iOS 15 and up. Older Android phones are the normal case rather than the exception, and data is only used when the app syncs.

Start on your first plot today.

Free for producers, and free to keep using.

Field App and Dashboard are in open beta through October 2026, piloting with cooperatives across Africa and South America. Expect the occasional rough edge while we build with early partners.
