BoomWiz
- Coastal groups are responsible for managing the entire process of harvesting logs, sorting them and transferring to booms, applying for export permits and selling them/shipping them via water transportation.
- A boom is made up of many logs, each with its own properties, sources, sort code, quality etc., and a boom may only accept certain kinds of logs. Sorting the logs and ensuring each boom gets the correct logs, while keeping track of all this information, can be tedious and difficult.
- Coastal groups also have to manage boom gear, contracts, rates, transactions, and transportation.
- 3LOG Systems’ LIMS bridges the gap between on-shore log inventory management and in-water boom inventory management. Continue reading to find out how BoomWiz works.
- LIMS’s BoomWiz module effectively manages all activities, from logging quality and loading to delivery and sorting, and from boom creation and contract setup to settlement generation, invoicing and export application.
