Most recycled paper mills already have the data. It just doesn’t match what’s happening in the yard. Inventory lives in one system, forklift activity in another, and production sees it late. By the end of the week, teams are working from slightly different versions of reality: operators searching for bales, supervisors reconciling stock by hand. YardManager gives you a live view of bale movements, inventory balances, loading, and feed into production. It’s built specifically for industrial yard environments, not generic warehouse software adapted to fit. See the operational workflow with your own eyes.

A bad production run shows up downstream. The cause usually started in the wood yard. Was it the wrong grade, a stale stockpile, or poor rotation? When the yard runs on operator experience and manual tracking, there’s no record to check, and every shift answers that question differently. YardManager records every log stacker lift and drop with weight and GNSS position, so stock, storage time, and feed to the debarkers are visible in real time and traceable after the fact. See how it works in a pulp mill wood yard.

A pulp mill had to shut down production. The feed history showed why: one large supplier delivering poor-quality wood had been over-represented in the mix beforehand. That was only visible because YardManager had recorded every log stacker event and what went to the debarkers. Operators were given clear production orders with the wanted mix, and yard supervisors began monitoring it closely. The mill, a YardManager customer for close to 10 years, has run without major disruptions since.

Many recycled paper yards still run on the operators who know where everything is. That works until it doesn’t. When visibility depends on radio calls, manual updates, and memory, consistency across shifts gets hard, and misplaced bales and contamination investigations get harder to manage. YardManager records every bale movement as it happens, building one continuous record of material across the yard. Inventory visibility stops depending on who’s on shift, and that same history supports claims handling, supplier quality analysis, and contamination investigations.

Getting the right species and supplier mix to each debarker shouldn’t depend on radio calls and memory. With YardManager, the desired mix for each debarker goes to log stacker drivers as a production order. Drivers see the order, how far along it is, and where suitable wood sits on a map of the yard. Supervisors monitor feed to the debarkers in real time from dashboards. It integrates with your mill gate, production system, and ERP, so it fits into what you already run instead of replacing it.

Sweden's forest industry spent decades building the systems, standards and data flows that make wood purchasing predictable, and that maturity took decades of iteration to earn. The Baltics don't need to repeat that timeline. On Oct 5th, we're running a free 60-minute session on what that shortcut actually looks like, using VACS as the practical framework and Sweden's mature infrastructure as the reference point. What that means for you: 🌲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲𝘀 & 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗿𝗴𝘀: agreements currently spread across spreadsheets and paper create inconsistency between negotiation and delivery. We'll walk through what a connected record, from agreement through to delivery, looks like in practice. 🌲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲𝘀: reconciling pricing and supplier terms by hand is slow and error-prone. We'll show what automated reconciliation and stakeholder reporting look like once they're standard practice, not a stretch goal. 🌲 𝗦𝗮𝘄𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀: when deliveries, measurement and settlement don't connect, it's hard to know what's arrived, what's measured and what's ready to invoice. We'll cover what one connected flow from measurement to invoice actually solves. Add EUDR into the mix, and the case for connected operations gets stronger. We'll talk about why traceability works best as part of everyday operations, not a separate admin task bolted on afterward. The tools, standards and practices already exist. The opportunity for Baltic wood purchasing is to adopt what works and skip the expensive detours. 📅 Mon, 5 Oct 2026, 9:00-10:00 EET 💻 Live on GoToWebinar · English · Free Can't make it live?
