TimberXchange

This is a service that allows customers and suppliers to send and receive documents from each other in a format that each party can understand. TimberXchange provides a facility to transform the customer and supplier specific data from the sending system to that required for the receiving system.

The benefits of this are:

• Freeing up administrative time for more valuable functions and reduction of data entry time and cost.
• Elimination of errors and associated costs of data entry.
• Reduction on skill level required in the data entry function (no need to translate manually between different product codes on different systems).
• Enhancement in the richness of data (because TimberXchange can send complete data history on a product).
• Cement strategic alliances between trading partners – ease of doing business.
• Instantaneous availability of data – flow on benefits. E.g. remote receivers can pre-sell product before its physical arrival.
