RADIX Tree

Core Features

RADIX Tree applies a compliance-first methodology: it invites organizations to connect their suppliers into a network, capture and structure supply chain data, automatically validate inputs, run risk assessments, and generate audit-ready reports. The platform is designed to be flexible, scalable and industry-agnostic, while being backed by expert consultancy. Some of its main features are:

• Supplier Network Mapping – Invite and onboard suppliers (including sub-tiers) into the platform, and to visualize business relationships across the chain, from raw material source through processors, manufacturers and brands.

• Standardized Data Capture – Allows the use of predefined templates and structured forms so that supplier information and documentation (e.g., origin, species, certificate, geolocation) are collected uniformly, reducing ambiguity and data gaps.

• Automated Validation & Alerts – The system supports rule-based validation (e.g., expiry dates, missing fields, high-risk country of origin) and uses traffic-light visual indicators plus notifications/emails to highlight errors or missing evidence.

• Due Diligence & Risk Assessment – Built to support regulatory obligations (such as the EU Deforestation Regulation), the platform integrates geolocation evidence, supplier history and internal audit templates to facilitate risk assessment.

• Multi-Regulation Support – While originally developed for timber/wood industries and EU Timber Regulation (EUTR), the software has been adapted for a broader range of sectors and compliance regimes.

• SAP-Integrated Cloud Deployment – Hosted on the cloud and powered by SAP HANA™, RADIX Tree offers clients a maintenance-free architecture, scalable storage, and the ability to integrate with existing enterprise systems.

Closing Insights

RADIX Tree launched in 2012 with leading DIY retailers and has evolved alongside regulation from the EU Timber Regulation to today’s EUDR. Its distinguishing factor is a compliance-first design: end-to-end data collection, automated validation and guided risk assessment, backed by GTS auditors and consultants with local knowledge. Notable users include Unilever, which has used RADIX Tree to document sustainable paper and packaging sourcing and Fordaq to extend EUDR support to wood-products traders.

For potential users, RADIX Tree pairs a mature platform with straightforward entry tiers. Subscription fees range from €25/month to €106.25/month, depending on the number business relationships the user intends to manage on the platform. The system runs in the cloud on SAP-integrated infrastructure and is maintained by GTS, reducing internal IT workload. Clients can draw on GTS’s expert network across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. With its longevity and alignment to EUDR-style due-diligence rules, it serves sectors well beyond timber. Teams seeking a pragmatic route to supplier engagement, standardized evidence gathering, and audit-ready records may find RADIX Tree a balanced choice.
