LogForce is a key component of Trimble's Connected Forest solutions, which manage the full raw materials lifecycle of planning, planting, growing, harvesting and transport.
"We want to collaboratively work with wood transportation and other forest companies to streamline transport and load management processes. Standardized software services offer a solid base for increasing productivity in wood transportation. This benefits both forest industry and transport companies," said Jussi Joensuu, forest manager at Koskitukki.
"Using LogForce is an ideal solution for both Koskitukki and its transportation contractors to improve operations by streamlining the transport of timber," said Ken Moen, general manager for Trimble's Forestry Division. "Koskitukki will have real-time visibility into their fibre inventory and delivery supply chain while the transport companies can offer their services to several forestry companies by creating backhaul opportunities and reducing empty travel miles using just one information system."
The LogForce mobile service is currently used by more than 350 Finnish timber transportation companies.
Koskitukki Oy is Koskisen Group's wood procurement company. The company procures all the wood raw material for Koskisen Group. The annual volume of wood procured is 1.4 million cubic meters.
