Business impact on Wood & Forest companies

 

+20% More production
>95% Delivery accuracy
-30% Capital tied up in inventory
+20% Improved productivity

Reduce tied-up capital

Excess inventory slows down cash flow and locks money where you don’t need it. With better planning and flow, you keep stock levels healthy — and free up capital for growth.

The impact:
  • 30% reduction in raw material inventory
  • Warehouse accuracy 80x
  • Inventory deviation from 5% to 0.06%
  • Improved cash flow and enhanced capital efficiency (ROCE)
  • Reduced carrying costs associated with excess stock

Improve delivery reliability

Customers trust you more when you ship exactly when you said you would. Smarter planning makes that possible without relying on costly buffer stock.

The impact:
  • Increased on-time delivery performance: delivery accuracy above 90%
  • Reduced finished goods buffer stock
  • More accurate and reliable lead times for sales
  • Improved customer satisfaction and reduced cost associated with delivery issues

and operational profitability.

The impact:

  • Reduced waste
  • Increased throughput and machine utilization

HOW WE HELP

Operational excellence across your entire value chain — from wood to finished products

We work with you across every stage—procurement, scheduling, manufacturing, delivery, and quality control—to optimize your entire operation with modular operational solutions, professional services, and long-term partnership.

Connect all operational layers from growth strategy to daily execution

Most sawmills and wood processors face a critical disconnect: strategic plans don't translate to mill floor reality. Production targets live in spreadsheets, scheduling happens ad hoc, and floor operations run on gut feel.

Pinja Fusion for Wood & Forest connects all three operational layers through one platform. Strategic decisions flow down to daily execution. Operational reality flows back up to inform better planning.

Strategic planning (1–12 months)
Sales forecasts and procurement plans become production targets and timber requirements.

Production scheduling (1–4 weeks)
AI-optimised schedules translate strategy into executable plans—accounting for drying times, resources, and quality targets.

Daily operations
Real production data flows back automatically. Quality results, machine performance, and actual timing keep plans grounded in reality.
