The Holzkurier published an interesting article on how our CFBusiness implementation digitalized Holzwerke Ladenburger‘s Roundwood procurement. Taking the complexity out of roundwood transactions was the core of the solution but we also covered multiple mill receptions for cut to length logs, stems, and waste timber pickup. All the data is available live to all stakeholders through our CFXchange platform.

The article is in German, but we are more than happy to tell you the story in English, too. So don’t hesitate to contact us at forestrysales@trimble.com.

Hancock Forest Management (HFM) has worked closely with its long-standing technology partner, Trimble Forestry, to implement paperless ticket processing, an important safety measure to help reduce the threat posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Today, relying on Trimble Forestry Logistics, there is no longer any exchange of paper documents between loaders, haulers, and scale sites. HFM is leading the industry to provide contactless supply chain operations to protect its employees, trading partners, contractors, and the communities in which it operates. 

“Safety is a core value throughout Hancock Forest Management (HFM).  When the virus hit, we were instructed to transform our log supply chain to a paperless process…and get it done quickly,” said Chris Bailey, HFM Distribution Manager.  “Working closely with the Trimble Forestry Logistics team, we were able to get everyone in our supply chain on board and trained, and transition successfully to fully paperless ticket exchanges in a matter of weeks.”

On any given day, HFM approximately 50 logging crews in the field, producing logs transported by more than 150 trucks per day and delivered to more than 30 separate customer sites.  The result is nearly 150,000 load dockets created per year,  in order to successfully harvest and deliver 3.5 million logs annually throughout New Zealand.  

“Our operations touch nearly every part of the North Island.  It’s important to do our part to avoid the spread of COVID-19, and going paperless was a key way for us to help keep our employees, trading partners, and ultimately all New Zealanders safer,” added Bailey.

HFM relies on Trimble’s Connected Forest™ Logistics solutions to execute its weekly harvest and delivery wood flow plan.  Trimble’s Operations and Dispatch team monitors in-forest log production and log inventories and schedules the haulage fleet.  CF Logistics technology facilitates logging production and haulage activity for optimized loaded mile productivity and efficient delivery of customer’s log orders.
