Specific solutions for BCOptional LIMS modules provide two solutions specific to British Columbia: Harvest Billing System (HBS)British Columbia’s Ministry of Forests and Range (MOF) now uses the Harvest Billing System (HBS), which replaces old reporting systems such as Harvest Database Billing System (HDBS), Harvest Billing Reporting (HBR), Central Invoicing System (CIS), and Scale Return Tracking System (SRTS). HBS is more responsive and flexible, using modern web-based technologies to capture data electronically, and more frequently, take it right from the source. Benefits include reduced paperwork, increased billing flexibility, and improved audit and reconciliation processes. Using the latest web technologies, LIMS can verify electronic data transmissions, according to MoF standards, before they’re submitted. This eliminates errors and time wasted in correcting them. Scale returns can also be submitted on a daily basis, enabling up-to-date reporting to the industry, the Ministry, and the public. With the new HBS, BC forestry companies have to make changes when reporting to MoF. For example, data must now be submitted in the required HBS XML format, requiring new software and employee training. With built-in features for MOF compliance, LIMS is your system of choice for HBS submission and receipt of stumpage invoices and statements. 3LOG can also provide consulting services on electronic transmission (FTP) both to and from your company and the Ministry, cutting your manual administrative effort.
For BC weigh scales, WeighWiz BC offers an equivalent solution. WeighWiz BC is a customized version of WeighWiz, designed to meet BC’s forest industry’s needs. WeighWiz BC has all the features of WeighWiz (large fonts, color-coded fields, customizable interface, easy synchronization with LIMS, etc.), plus the ability to prepare data, print, and generate reports in formats required by MoF. All the great features from LIMS and WeighWiz, plus the following:
Log QualityIt is important to monitor and control the quality of logs your Vendors deliver to you. Log scalers capture rich and precise metrics about logs as each load is delivered. Not only do scalers measure lengths and diameters, they also note deformities and defects in individual logs. With the latest technology, scalers can capture these metrics using advanced handheld devices. What’s needed now is a way to integrate this rich, in-depth information about log quality into the corporate database. We want to be able to compare actual log quality with that promised by Vendors in their contracts, so that we pay only for the quality we actually receive. We also want to know how each Vendor is performing in terms of quality. And we don’t want to use multiple computer systems or duplicate data entry.
