Wood traceability is the ability to track timber materials from forest to final product. Through group certification, you benefit from our direct SUMAL integration – certified volumes and stocks are calculated automatically, with zero effort on your part.
What is the SUMAL System?
SUMAL (Wood Material Tracking System) is Romania's national IT system for monitoring and tracking timber materials from harvesting to processing and sale.
SUMAL Features:
- Registration of all actors in the supply chain
- Issuance of transport documents (APV)
- Real-time tracking of shipments
- Verification of timber origin legality
- Reporting to competent authorities

Controlled Processing
