Cruising Timber
·
TimberSoft has recently created a
cruising timber program for use on the handheld. Similar in setup and design of the
Purchase/Sales program in that Cruising Timber allows you to create a header
containing all pertinent information to a Cruise such as assign it a number,
name, county and town. You can also
create remarks to associate with each cruise and then create price per 1000
board feet for costs such as Clean up, cut/skid, haul, road, landing, move in
and other.
·
While in the detail associated with
each header the user will be able to quickly key in data for each tree using a
combination of pull down lists for species and FC table numbers and the
handheld keypad for items such as Dbh, number of
logs, Length and cost.
·
As data is input the program will
continually update valuable totals and display them on the side of the screen. Totals such as total number of trees sampled,
total board footage of sampled trees, estimated yield in veneer in board feet,
total number of veneer logs and the net amount of the veneer for the cruise.
·
Like Purchase/Sales the user can
also setup custom details for their handheld such as User information, company
information, Pricing, species, scale and county.
·
Data can also be exchanged between
the handheld and the company server either through a high speed Internet connection
or through a phone modem. The buyer may
load their supporting tables or transfer their Cruises to the company server.
Main Menu
·
To simplify locating Woodwork
programs on the handheld TimberSoft has incorporated a Main Menu that provides
direct links to needed programs and broken into categories according to
application.
·
This function is called TSIMenu.vb and is located in the root of the TimberSoft
folder on your handheld. This function
will not be available if an update to the Woodwork program on the handheld has
not been preformed in the last 2 months.
Color Screens
·
DAP,
the manufacture of the handheld equipment used by TimberSoft has introduced a
new model with color screens. In an
effort to accommodate this, TimberSoft has adjusted its programming accordingly
and we are now able to offer woodwork in color on the handheld. The new color screens have a much brighter
back lighting and in turn have a far better level of clarity than the older
monochrome screens.
Pocket PC
·
As a time saving tool and also as a
means of measuring accuracy of numbers TimberSoft has developed a program to
run in real-time on a standard Pocket PC allowing users to quickly look up
critical information in the system.
·
This simple to use and fast system
will be able to pull up data from your server anywhere you have a wireless
connection. Some of the functions
include the ability to look up log inventory, do a "Drill-down" by
buyer, check production status, look at various finished goods data, including
inventory and summaries and the ability to look up log and veneer sales by
customer, buyer and date range.
Sales,
Production, Inventory Graphs
·
TimberSoft
has created several production graphs that can be accessed through the toolbar on
the main Woodwork menu. These graphs
offer a powerful tool for comparing numbers, monitoring patterns in the company
and seeing an overall picture of production and sales.
·
The
available graphs include Log inventory displaying information according to buyer,
specie, grade as well as by logs not received.
·
There are
production graphs relating to sawmills, slicers, dryers and clippers. Also in production is a general production
monitor showing all production areas at on one graph.
·
The sales
graphs offer a pie style break down of total sales by buyer or species. There is also a profitability graph for both
buyer and specie. And finally there is a
monthly total graph showing either monthly totals in dollars or square meters.
