From woodland stand to roadside stack, keep the thinning traceable

A forestry team needs to connect stand records, proposed harvest, actual timber volume and collection. Keep estimates separate from measured wood before agreeing a sale.

  1. Locate the work

    Compartment, area and species give a proposed harvest its stand context.

  2. Separate plan from cut

    Harvest plans and cutting records let the team compare intended and recorded volumes without treating a plan as approval.

  3. Prepare the timber lot

    The timber trade area holds assortment, buyer, volume, price, delivery date and stack number for checking before invoicing.

How Sektura helps with everyday work

Example: thinning pine before roadside collection

A forestry team inspects a pine compartment. It plans to thin the stand, stack logs beside a forest road and arrange collection after measurement. This is a fictional work example, not a customer story.

  1. Check stand and access

    Record the compartment, area, species and field observations; verify that old estimates still reflect the site.

  2. Plan the operation

    Enter the proposed removal in the harvest plan and consider machines and road access; assess permissions separately.

  3. Agree the lot

    After cutting and measurement, relate assortments and stack to the buyer, agreed price and collection date.

Before loading, the team can trace the stand, planned and recorded volumes, and sale details still needing confirmation.

Getting started is simple

How it works

  1. Create a sample stand

    Enter a fictional compartment with area, species and notes.

  2. Try a thinning plan

    Add proposed removal volumes and review how the estimate was reached.

  3. Build a sample timber lot

    Add fictional assortment, measured volume, buyer and stack number; compare it with the plan.

Questions before you start

Does the desk decide how much timber we may cut?
No. The management plan, stand conditions and applicable local requirements need professional review. A planned volume is not permission.
Are volume and price final once entered?
No. Confirm measurement, quality, assortment, contract and agreed price before collection and invoicing.
Does a record prove PEFC or FSC certification?
No. Documents can organise evidence, but a certificate and any independent audit are separate.

Check before loading

Confirm access, measuring method, assortment and paperwork with the parties. Forestry, conservation and transport requirements vary by site and country.
