Trimble Forestry is pleased to announce that Western Australia’s Forest Products Commission (FPC) has successfully implemented mobile paperless docketing, with a Connected Forest™ Xchange (CFX)-powered docket-sharing portal.

“The Trimble team tailored Mobile Builder and CFX to our local requirements enabling us to eliminate the paper-based delivery tracking process from our supply chain,” said Tim Maling, FPC Project Manager for Innovation. “The resulting solution has freed our staff from manual entry of delivery notes, and provided our contractors and customers greater visibility of their loads both in transit and after delivery.”

Previously, FPC recorded log deliveries using paper dockets, called DNotes, in the field. The DNotes were manually keyed into FPC’s accounting system. Trimble’s SaaS solution has reduced this administrative burden, improved data accuracy, sped up approval processes for payments to contractors, and provided near real-time visibility into loads throughout the chain-of-custody from harvest to mill. The paperless docketing app can be accessed using both iOS or Android devices.

“Our solution has been customized for FPC to provide GPS-driven selection fields, on-screen signatures, checks and approvals for chain of custody, and docket data sharing with relevant contractors and customers within the FPC supply chain,” explained Dan Turkington, the client service manager for Trimble Forestry supporting Trimble customers in the Asia Pacific region. “It works whether or not Internet connectivity is available, and is simple and intuitive for the user.”

Trimble Forestry’s CFX solution has been adopted for use by major forestry companies on three continents. The ability to provide visibility into supply chain transactions is allowing forest companies around the globe to more optimally move products from forest to customer.

Increased Supply Chain Efficiency and Profitability With CFX-enabled 

 Data Visibility, Mobile Ticketing, and Timber Security

Trimble Forestry announced today that its widely used Log Information Management System (LIMS) now integrates seamlessly with the Connected Forest™ Xchange (CFX). The integration allows load ticket information from LIMS to sync to the cloud-based CFX portal, which can be accessed from any device, any place.  

With CFX’s flexibility, easy-to-view dashboards, and mobile accessibility, key operational data, such as electronic tickets, fiber source GPS coordinates, and detailed supply chain records can also be shared in near real-time, at the company’s discretion, with supply chain partners, such as harvesters, haulers, and scale sites.

“The level of data sharing enabled by our LIMS/CFX integration is key to increasing efficiency within forestry supply chains,” said Kevin Toohill, General Manager of Trimble Forestry. “Visibility and shared data increases timber security and facilitates real-time, data-based decision-making, as well as easier records reconciliation and faster payments.”

LIMS/CFX users can add electronic load ticketing using a mobile device with an added mobile subscription.  The CFX mobile subscription allows haulers and scale site operators to use reference data, such as source, destination, and species, synced from LIMS/CFX. The synched drop-down menus help reduce errors, greatly increase timber security and accountability, and make it much easier and faster to reconcile load tickets exchanged between harvest and delivery. The higher fidelity of tracking loads from forest to delivery allows companies to better support certification requirements. Every load that leaves the woods can be reconciled to a weight scale load coming in the gate.  

“Today’s announcement further builds on our Connected Forest™ strategy to improve workflows and access to data within organizations and between trading partners throughout the forestry supply chain,” added Toohill.

To request a demonstration or learn more about the LIMS/CFX integration, email forestrysales@trimble.com or call Trimble Forestry sales at 888-443-4241 in North America. Trimble Forestry has sales offices around the world.  To find a local contact number outside of North America, please visit https://forestry.trimble.com/contact-us/.
