New Trimble LIMS PRO Gives Small- and
Medium-Sized Companies the Opportunity to Realize
Productivity and Growth Gains
WESTMINSTER, Colo., July 21,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB)
announced the launch of LIMS PRO, a new cloud-hosted version of its
widely used Log Inventory and Management System (LIMS) to manage
sawmill raw material procurement. As a cloud-based log settlement
solution, LIMS PRO is designed to improve operational visibility
for mills. It enables small- and medium-sized forest product
companies to realize productivity and growth gains that only large
companies have historically been able to afford by digitizing
lumber supply chain workflows.
Taking the power of LIMS and creating a more accessible
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) version, this robust business
management software streamlines contracts, receiving, inventory and
settlement processes into a single platform, providing forestry
companies with a complete picture of their operations. In addition,
the software assists with mobile ticketing in the woods before the
logs make their way to sawmills, eliminating the need for manual
recordkeeping.
Comprised of a mobile application, web-based applications and an
onsite receiving application connected to the weigh scale, LIMS PRO
provides an easily accessible reporting dashboard that shows
exactly what is happening from forest to sawmill. Whether in the
woods or at the weighing scale, this new software simplifies the
complete process for sawmills—taking it from days to hours through
improved data accuracy, real-time reconciliation, minimization of
processing errors and faster truck turn times.
"At Trimble, we work closely with our customers to digitize
their supply chain data," said Kevin
Toohill, general manager of Trimble Forestry. "LIMS PRO
enables partners and others along the value chain to digitally
transform their operations—moving from paper tickets, log sheets
and manual data entry to modern workflows. This means increased
accuracy and less time spent tracking down paper copies or entering
data multiple times."
"Leveraging our work with more than 500 large forestry
customers, we have developed a hosted, cloud-based solution that
gives small- and medium-sized businesses the opportunity to benefit
from our enterprise expertise while having digital workflows
tailored to meet their needs," said Toohill. "This takes the
complexity out of managing and maintaining a dedicated on-prem log
and inventory management system."
In addition to digitizing the supply chain, this new software
enables forestry organizations to:
- Simplify load reconciliation by syncing the weigh scale to the
settlement system within minutes
- Automate invoicing and financial settlements
- Track yard inventory while monitoring costs to procure timber
inventory
- Manage key performance indicators and assess the overall health
of the business
- Seamlessly share data with partners
- Eliminate need for additional IT infrastructure as the solution
is hosted and managed in Trimble's secure AWS cloud
environment
- Integrate mobile tickets, using the LIMS mobile application,
with weigh scales to replace hand-written tickets and log
sheets
