Log Inventory & Management System (LIMS)LIMS — the comprehensive biomass management solutionLIMS is powerful business management software for the wood products industry. It combines the features of wood procurement, contractor payables, vendor and contract management, wood products inventory, sales and consumption, business/forecast planning, querying, reporting, and accounting. LIMS addresses the requirements for the Biomass Crop Assistance Program (BCAP). Following the rules outlined by BCAP the LIMS system collects weight data from the scale and incorporates it in the details of the contract. The moisture content along with the the calculated % of biomass acceptable by BCAP are provided through detailed reports with a complete audit of all transactions available if needed. LIMS offers the flexibility to accommodate BCAP as the rules and restrictions for the program continue to change. You don't even need to be an expert on BCAP when you have LIMS automating the data collection and reporting. As an integrated system, LIMS requires that data be entered once and only once. The software uses a modern, centralized database design, so all your business information is available in one place in continual real-time. Your staff need only learn one, easy-to-use Windows-based system. Read on to learn why companies select LIMS to be their primary business management software.

With LIMS, you can configure the system to work the way your company works, and then easily add new business activities without additional programming. For example, if you decide to start trading logs or fiber from a site that previously only consumed wood, you simply add the customer and your contract and accounting rules, and start entering transactions. The features are already in the system, without additional programming. At 3LOG Systems, we keep the end user in mind throughout the software development process. We understand the challenges our customer might face over the learning process. As a result, LIMS is a user-friendly software. A familiar, Windows-based graphical user interface (GUI) makes training a breeze.

LIMS is highly scalable. With a central database design, our clients can combine all divisions in one central reporting system at the corporate headquarters. Alternatively, each division can be independent from all the others, each with its own database if preferred. With 3LOG's approach, geographic boundaries do not stand in the way of applying LIMS across an entire firm. The more people in a corporation use 3LOG software, the bigger the benefits of integration in terms of efficiency and productivity. In summary
