What do our customers think?
"We have cooperated with TimberIT for several years and are very satisfied. TimberIT implements continuous improvements even after ideas from our side. The support is perhaps the best thing about TimberIT - it is user-friendly and suits us very well as we want to avoid sitting in telephone queues or wait for a response for several days."
Natalia Donne Sales manager, Hanåsa Sawmill
"We have a long history with ForestBase. The timing with TimberIT as the new administrator of the system came very timely with the VIOL3 leap. Then you need a good consultant to hold your hand. With TimberIT, we don't lose the simple, operational way of working. TimberIT's ambition to develop a common system for all companies, with the support of user forums is also central to us in the choice of TimberIT and ForestBase."
Anders Ringsell CEO, Qbik AB
"TimberBase is an amazing system, so well thought out!"
Niclas Sjöholm Sales manager, Småland Timber
"We are constantly in control of how many packages we have loaded. We see how much is in stock and what is available. You also don't have to worry about which product is in the package. All you have to do is select a loading order and the system will do the rest. The risk of error is minimized. It is not possible to load a package with a product that is not on the loading order. The ability to use TimberBase directly in a PDA has changed the way we work."
Thomas Johansson Forklift driver, Hedlunds Timber
Responsive for all devices
TimberBase is completely cloud-based and can be used on any type of device that has a web browser. To get a really good user experience on e.g. a mobile phone or handheld scanner, the information displayed must be adapted to the screen size. This is what is called a responsive system. TimberBase is built that way.
We have customers who use their phone or tablet to handle packages and print delivery notes. Others opt for handheld scanners with a screen of the same size.
Cloud-based service
TimberBase is completely cloud-based and offered as a service. Internet connection and a web browser are all that is needed. Computer, tablet or phone can be used. Software updates are handled completely automatically. Backups are taken every day in a secure environment. Living with TimberBase is easy.
The whole business chain
TimberBase covers the business chain from contract to invoice. There is also a production section that can handle everything from timber to processed goods. Everything is developed from the beginning to fit together as a unit. The database is designed so that it is easy to adapt the system for different types of business. The system is very scalable and suitable for both the small company and the larger company with several production units.
Connectivity
Simple and robust integration with other systems is important to TimberBase. This can apply to production systems such as timber sorting, saw intake, packers, planers, etc. Integration with financial systems is also often relevant with invoices and payments. Business partners such as customers, agents, carriers can receive documents or notifications in XML format.
Cloud technology offers many advantages. TimberBase is accessible 24/7 from any location. No local server to take care of. Backups and updates are handled automatically in a secure environment without any user intervention. There will be an effective distribution of costs because several people share the resources. TimberBase is also quick and easy to use. We do everything to make it intuitive and stimulating to use TimberBase. It means satisfied users and also provides short learning period for new users. Thanks to a prepared starter kit, you can quickly get started with TimberBase. With our experience, we can suggest how TimberBase should be set up to suit the business. For administration, support and further development, there is a simple system, also cloud-based, where users can ask questions, report problems or make suggestions for improvement. In a portal, you can both register and follow the case. It has proven to work very well.
The very well thought out database in TimberBase is the basis for the flexibility found in the system. The database was originally designed to cover all core processes in a wood industry company. From sales, through production, stock and deliveries to the invoice. The customer company itself chooses which parts of the business are to be covered. It's a matter of settings. There is no problem to expand the scope later. Some examples of which choices can be made: Should the stock of logs be included? Should the semi-finished products be handled as packages? Should we handle by-products in TimberBase? New additions to the business only mean a few new settings. No expensive consulting efforts are required. Over the years, the database and the system itself have proven to be able to cope with the load from hundreds of users. The possibility to start simple and then deepen the use also opens up for smaller companies that may not want to use all the functionality from the beginning. We have several examples of that.
It is vital to TimberBase that it is easy to integrate with other systems. We have built a modern and robust technology platform for it. Many thousands of packages and invoices have passed under close supervision. If something goes wrong, an alarm is sent via e-mail to the people concerned. Our solution is API-based but can also handle XML messages. Integration with production systems such as log scanner, saw intake, sticking, trimmer, planer is perhaps the first thing that comes to mind. It is easy for us to set up such integrations and we have ready-made solutions for several systems. Invoices can be sent to financial systems and information about payments received. Many customers request electronic documents such as specifications, invoices, delivery notes, etc. It is well prepared in TimberBase. We have also prepared so that external business partners (customers, agents, transporters,...) can log into TimberBase and see "their" information and download documents. The information is well defined and adapted for the purpose. Maybe also put in requests, make call-offs, etc. It can save time and increase accessibility for everyone involved. We see great potential in further digitization of collaboration between different partners in the value chain. Our open Web APIs make it possible to develop your own add-on applications to TimberBase, applications that are directly connected to the database in an orderly manner.
