About us
Timber IT
TimberIT addresses the wood industry, in Sweden and internationally. We have a unique competence that gives us good conditions to develop further. Our own know-how is supplemented by an extensive network of specialists and not least through the dialogue with our customers. Our main driving force is to manage and further develop ForestBase and TimberBase. We want to use the latest technology and ideas from different directions to constantly improve the systems. Above all, make them as user-friendly as possible. We understand the importance of managing a system. Effective procedures for support and software updates are a prerequisite. We have that.
