Accurate data is essential in the timber industry – whether it’s during log scaling in the forest, measuring log piles, or managing timber stock levels.
Paper lists and Excel spreadsheets take time, are prone to errors, and are often outdated. Log and timber list software solves these issues by enabling fast digital data collection for roundwood, automating log measurement, and streamlining timber list management.
