Why Wood Dealers Choose TRACT Over Spreadsheets and Disconnected Tools
Stump to Settlement
TRACT handles your entire wood dealing workflow in one system. Procurement contracts, load tracking, mill sales, settlements, and accounting — all connected and automated. No more juggling multiple spreadsheets or losing money on disconnected systems that don’t talk to each other.
Real-Time Tract Profitability
Know exactly how each tract is performing while it’s still being harvested — not weeks later when the books are closed. TRACT calculates tract profit in real-time based on actual loads delivered, current market prices, and your cost structure. Make informed decisions about operations while they’re happening.
Scale Without Adding Staff
TRACT’s automation eliminates the administrative bottlenecks that limit growth. Settlements that used to take your office manager days now happen automatically. Load tracking that required constant phone calls now runs itself. Scale your timber volume without scaling your overhead.

Why Forestry Teams Choose TRACT
Purpose-built for forestry. TRACT isn’t generic business software adapted for logging. Every feature — from load entry to settlements to timber security — was designed for how wood suppliers actually work. No workarounds, no modules bolted on after the fact.
One system, not five. Field apps, load tracking, accounting, reconciliation, and reporting all live in one platform. Data enters once and flows everywhere it needs to go — no re-keying, no spreadsheet bridges between disconnected tools.
Real support from real forestry people. When you call TRACT, you talk to someone who knows the difference between a gate card and a scale ticket. Every engineer on the team builds features for your industry — forestry isn’t a side project.
How TRACT Works — From Load to Ledger
1. Log the Load
Drivers enter loads on their phones — even offline. GPS tags the location automatically. Photos of scale tickets get scanned by AI and converted to data. No paper shuffling back at the office.
2. Track & Reconcile
Every load is tracked from origin to delivery with full chain of custody. When mill statements come in, TRACT matches them against your records automatically and flags discrepancies the same day.
3. Settle Automatically
Contract terms are entered once. TRACT applies the right rates to every load — stumpage, freight, harvesting — and generates settlement statements. What used to take days takes minutes.
4. Sync to Your Books
Settlements, invoices, and payments sync directly to QuickBooks or NetSuite. No double entry, no export/import dance. Your books stay accurate in real time.
Getting Started Is Faster Than You Think
Switching software sounds painful — but the UGA study measured exactly how long it takes to get up to speed:
2.8 weeks
Loggers
6.1 weeks
Foresters
7.5 weeks
Admin Staff
33% of teams saw measurable business improvement in less than one month. The majority saw results in less than three months. And 42% reported the software allowed them to reduce or reassign administrative staff — meaning TRACT doesn’t just save time, it frees up headcount for higher-value work.
