Delivery Manager Module
The Log Inventory and Managements System Delivery Manager tracks all
information related to your timber, log, wood and fiber deliveries. Such
information will include arrival date, time and location, timber source,
truck, gross and net weight, species of wood, form of wood (raw logs, cut
logs, chips, etc.), and so on.
All information is cross-validated against
related database tables, and is immediately available to other modules
(inventory, payment, etc.) in real time.
LIMS is much more than a wood procurement system;
it is comprehensive business management software
for the forestry, wood products, pulp and paper
and lumber industries.
LIMS relates all deliveries back to their original
sources and hence tracks chain-of-custody and other sustainability (SFI)
certification.
