Challenges in Timber Inventory Management
Traditional inventory management methods are failing to meet the unique demands of the wood supply and distribution industry. Here are the key challenges our solution addresses.
Inventory Discrepancies
Wood suppliers face an average of 12-18% inventory discrepancies when using traditional counting methods, leading to significant revenue loss.
Time-Consuming Manual Processes
Traditional audits require operational shutdowns of 24-48 hours, resulting in lost productivity and delayed shipments to customers.
