Wood Industry
Custom Software for Wood Industry
Simple solutions for complex problems. We specialize in moving aging Microsoft Access databases and spreadsheet sprawl to modern cloud systems, without breaking the workflow your team knows. Yard inventory on a whiteboard, kiln schedules in a notebook, orders in a legacy database.
Sound familiar?
Where sawmills and lumber yards usually get stuck
- The real system is a spreadsheet emailed around with numbers in the filename
- Two people have to re-key the same order into two places
- Reporting means someone stays late with a pivot table
- The software you bought does 40% of the job and blocks the other 60%
What's included
What you actually get
- Business process review and documentation
- System blueprint with diagrams and user cases
- Prototype checkpoints before anything ships
- Cloud storage with desktop, tablet, and phone access
- Training and ongoing support
One system your team actually uses, on desktop, tablet, and phone.
Wood Industry
The systems we end up in
Most sawmills and lumber yards are running some version of these four. Custom Software work usually starts by making them agree with each other.
Log and lumber inventory by species and grade
Kiln schedules and moisture records
Order entry, tally sheets, and shipping
Grading, yield, and scale tickets
What changes
- Tally that matches the yard without a walk-around
- Kiln and order schedules visible to the whole crew
- Yield reporting you can actually price against
How we work
Custom Software, cut into four pieces
Review
We sit with the people doing the work and document how it really runs, not how the org chart says it runs.
Blueprint
Diagrams, user cases, and a scope you approve before a line of code exists. No surprises in month three.
Prototype
You click a working version at every checkpoint. Wrong turns get caught while they are still cheap.
Launch and support
Migration, training, and ongoing help. You own the system, the data, and the documentation.
Proof
Work like this, written up
The business challenge, what we did, and what happened — in full, on the page.
Grimm Scientific Industries
A spreadsheet-run manufacturer replaced day-to-day operations with a purpose-built ERP. They have since quadrupled in size on the same system.
4x growth in company size since the system went in
JobTrax Custom ApplicationThe Proz
A mobile crew, photo documentation that had to reach the office the same day, and a scheduler the general manager could drag jobs onto. Eight years of continuous development later, they are the dominant hood cleaner in their area.
8+ yrs building and improving the same system
Work Order ApplicationThe PM Company
Years of stitched-on features had left maintenance workers with an interface nobody enjoyed using. Rewritten on Vue, so crews can start, pause, and switch jobs on a tablet.
