In the timber industry, precision and traceability are key. The company Bukva Commercium d.o.o., a leading exporter of sawn timber from Karlovac County, understood this well – which is why in 2023, it initiated a comprehensive digital transformation by implementing the WMS system and the INFOMETRICS digital board measurer.
Inefficiency and manual processes
Before the introduction of modern solutions, the company used manual methods for measuring, warehouse management, and dispatch. This resulted in:
- High error rates
- Slow document issuance
- Difficult pallet traceability
- Limited management visibility
Integration of WMS and INFOMETRICS
WMS (Warehouse Management System) – SmartBit
The system has digitized the entire logistics flow from receiving to dispatch:
- Each pallet receives a unique barcode record
- Label scanning enables instant receiving and dispatch
- Users no longer need manual intervention – documentation is generated automatically
- Delivery errors have been practically eliminated
- The system is integrated with the PANTHEON ERP, allowing for real-time inventory synchronization
INFOMETRICS Cubatore – digital timber scaler
Digital board measurement has significantly simplified sawmill production:
- Measured data is automatically transferred to ERP
- Measurement accuracy is significantly higher than with manual entry
- Reduced need for counting, manual entry, and recalculation
- Faster preparation of delivery notes and production records
Real-time insights
Data from the INFOMETRICS and WMS system is integrated into Power BI, providing management with constant visibility into:
- Inventory and pallet availability
- Raw material (log) consumption
- Production efficiency
Digitalization results
- Reduction in shipping errors by more than 90%
- Acceleration of goods dispatch by 2-3x
- Automated document issuance without delays
- Increased transparency over inventory and production
