Reduce your field data collection costs by improving data collection accuracy, decrease timelines for sharing field data, and adjust to changes in your existing enterprise as your business evolves. Why Trimble Forestry Mobile Builder? Simple! It has proven advantages over paper-based processes. Specifically, it reduces the need for data reconciliation; provides tighter control over harvest operations, inspections or surveys; and reduces data administration while improving data integrity from field to office. Mobile Builder allows forestry clients to mobilize spatial and tabular business processes allowing workers access to the enterprise on handheld platforms. Portable field collection applications can be easily created to closely match any enterprise business process. Mobile Builder validates the field data before it gets uploaded to the enterprise, and automates the data exchange process for you so you don’t have to. Administrators can quickly configure mobile forms for any type of business process that is better managed on the go and rapidly deploy to the user community. Mobile Builder can also integrate business processes directly with Trimble Forestry’s Land Resource Manager enterprise solution for improved accuracy and data validation. It means getting your Saturday’s back! Our premier hauling app - 4Loads™ is a mobile ticketing solution that simplifies the creation, access and sharing of harvested timber data for loggers, foresters and haulers. The solution provides forestry workers a simple way to enter and manage load data that eliminates manual tracking, provides instant access to the data online, and reduces time to summarize load financial information. Harvest operators enter load data on their mobile devices in the field, which automatically synchronizes with the Trimble Forestry cloud service for timely access to data via the Mobile Builder Website. Forestry stakeholders can log into the mobile site to view data, run reports and customize mobile form menus. 4Loads provides real-time access to harvest load data that historically has been captured via slower manual processes that can take weeks or months to produce data. This real-time insight into remote operations can shorten reconciliation cycles and provide clear load traceability. Key Benefits: Improve timber security. Follow your timber through the supply chain to the mill Know when, where and what was delivered Determine cash flow from amount of timber removals Ensure proper payments from timber harvesting company Compare actual removals to forecasted removals Real-time feedback on delivered loads Quickly monitor weights of loads delivered Eliminate duplicate data entry improving accuracy and timeliness Eliminate risk of lost tickets; get paid for EVERY LOAD!
