With the Trimble LoaderWiz app, you can manage loads from the forest to destination. This app allows an internal or third party Loader / Logger to create loads while loading the truck in the woods. Loads can be created by scanning a predefined trip ticket. The user’s GPS location is associated with the load and this information is sent to the LIMS central server using a data line or WiFi connection. The loads of the Loader can then be sent to a receiving station, which will match the logger’s transmitted information to the received loads, completing your chain of custody data.
