In today’s forestry and timber industry, the pressure to streamline operations, boost transparency and support sustainable logging practices is higher than ever. The shift from manual measurement to digital tools isn’t optional — it’s essential. That’s why having a comprehensive licence for a solution like Timbeter’s is a game-changer: from the mobile application to the cloud-based Dashboard, you gain access to tools that transform how you measure, manage and report on timber.

Mobile application functionalities: measure smarter with the licence

When you purchase a Timbeter licence, you gain access to a powerful mobile application for smartphones and tablets. Here are the key measurement tools included:

Measurement functions

• Diameter measurement: The app calculates the diameter of each log in a pile or on a truck.
• Contour (pile) measurement: Measure volume of log piles using a density coefficient.
• Truck measurement: Determine volume and number of logs on trucks.
• Density measurement: Assess pile density coefficient and derive volume, log count, diameters.

Enhanced tools included in the licence

In addition to those four main types of measurement, your licence unlocks advanced features:

Panorama mode: Ideal for very large piles. The app takes mosaic-style shots to measure extensive log piles that wouldn’t fit in a single image.

Defect marking: Enables you to mark defective logs (wrong size, rejected quality etc.), assess the volume of defects and gain more detailed insight into material quality.

Calibration tool: Essential when your pile is on uneven terrain (ravines, slopes). Allows you to calibrate the shooting angle to meet measurement standards.

Timbeter Pile/Truck height detection: Helps identify heights in piles or trucks according to preferred scales (for contour or truck modes).

Whether you’re a sawmill operator measuring incoming raw material, a transport company verifying truck loads, or a pulp and paper producer monitoring supply chain consistency, the mobile app covers a wide range of use cases. It can be used for on-site log measurement directly in the forest or yard, large stockpile quantification using Panorama mode, quality control through defect marking, and transport loading validation via truck measurement. The result is a flexible, reliable tool that adapts to your operational environment while ensuring consistent accuracy.

Dashboard and cloud-services included in the licence

The licence also gives you full access to the Timbeter Dashboard — a cloud-based platform for centralised measurement data management and reporting.

Core Dashboard features

The Dashboard provides a real-time overview of all field measurements and allows users to edit, review, and analyse data from anywhere. Users can see, where operations are in progress, shipped or completed. Companies can manage incoming and outgoing volumes and manage inventories. Dashboard enables to add users and create storages. Information can be shared with the third parties either using measurement data or the information about the full storage. You can also customise your environment by adding your own tree species and wood quality parameters, ensuring the system fully aligns with your company’s standards.

All results can be easily exported in PDF or Excel formats, making reporting and documentation straightforward.

Why this matters for sustainability and efficiency

Digitalising measurements through the Timbeter Dashboard improves transparency and traceability across the timber supply chain. Every log measured can be traced from its origin to its destination, supporting compliance and sustainability goals. Accurate digital data reduces human error, saves time, and enables better planning of logistics, production, and resource allocation — essential for modern, data-driven forestry operations.

Licence summary: what it gives you

When you take on a Timbeter licence, you’re getting more than just an app. You’re investing in a complete ecosystem that connects field operations with management insights. The mobile app empowers teams to measure with precision and consistency, while the cloud-based Dashboard ensures every measurement becomes actionable data — accessible anytime, anywhere. Together, these tools promote sustainability, transparency, and efficiency throughout your timber value chain.

Conclusion

If your company is ready to move from manual and fragmented measurement methods to a unified, digital timber-management platform, a Timbeter licence gives you exactly that. From the field to the office, you get an end-to-end solution: accurate measurements in the mobile app, centralised data processing and reporting in the Dashboard, and the flexibility to integrate and customise as your business demands.
