- Erfassen Sie Ihr Holz direkt im Wald (auch offline) in Holzlisten, Losen und Poltern. - Machen Sie mehrere Fotos pro Los/Polter. - Kalamitäten ordnen sie direkt den Poltern zu. - Messverfahren: Einzelstammvermessung, Sektionsraummaßverfahren, Mittenstärkenstichprobe und Schätzmenge. - Die Stammdaten zu Waldflächen, Revieren, Dienstleistern und Käufern etc. kommen aus Euroforst, das spart die erneute Eingabe in der App. - Die App ist mandantenfähig, einzelnen Nutzern lassen sich unterschiedliche Waldorte zuweisen. Top: Direkt in der Holzaufnahme-App kennzeichnen Sie auf Wunsch Polter, die auf TimberTom.de online verkauft werden sollen. In 3 einfachen Schritten werden Sie Verkäufer bei TimberTom und erzielen im Schnitt einen um bis zu 50% höheren Preis pro Festmeter als mit Industrieholz, senken Ihre Vertriebskosten und entlasten Ihre Forstverwaltung. Die Holzaufnahme-App ist der erste Baustein unseres kommenden umfassenden, modernen und mobilen Warenwirtschaftssystems TimberData, das EuroForst ablösen wird. Mit modernsten Technologien entwickelt, bringen wir intuitive Bedienung und vor allem Software mit Zukunft in die Forstwirtschaft. Zusammen mit den Entwicklern von DekaData packen wir die Digitalisierung in der Forstwirtschaft an, damit Sie auch zukünftig weiterhin Komplettlösungen aus einer Hand erhalten.
