Information is easily shared and if disagreements arise, digital footprints are always available to check and assess. Using Timbeter Container is so easy: you simply make photos of the packs loaded into the containers, the application counts the number of logs, provides the volume estimation and the diameters of each log. All your digital data is structured accordingly; measurements, the number of containers and a bill of lading.
