OIXIO | Timber is a solution designed for wood companies that supports the entire supply chain of wood processing and valorization, from log reception to production, sales, and logistics.

OIXIO | Timber – From Log Purchase to Finished Product Sales
- OIXIO | Timber operates on the Microsoft Business Central platform and has been developed considering the specific processes of wood companies. The solution allows tracking the handling and movement of logs at every stage – from load reception, measurement, and sorting to sawing and finished products.
- OIXIO | Timber also supports lumber production, drying, sorting, and post-processing.
- OIXIO | Timber enables faster handling of packages during both delivery and dispatch. The wood solution is based on Business Central business software, allowing real-time inventory and goods movement control, as well as the creation of delivery notes and labels.
New Log Solution
The newly added log solution in OIXIO | Timber makes log management even more automated. The solution allows tracking the movement of logs in stacks, managing their locations, and optimizing log sawing. The movement of logs can be tracked in different units of measurement – cubic meters, running meters, pieces. The solution also allows describing log purchase price lists, enabling contract-based log procurement.
The system provides a real-time overview of the existing raw material status, allowing the tracking of the age of logs on the site, which is particularly important to avoid log spoilage. The result is a smooth workflow that reduces manual work, allowing logs to be handled faster and more optimally.
How the New OIXIO | Timber Log Solution Works
The log solution allows managing the entire process, from log purchase, measurement, and sawing to the sale of finished products.
- Log Purchase: OIXIO | Timber is integrated with the electronic waybill register, meaning that the waybill automatically accompanies the log purchase.
- Log Measurement: After log reception, logs are stored in stacks or sent to the measurement line. Different suppliers’ price lists can also be added to OIXIO | Timber, further simplifying log accounting.
- Log Sorting and Accounting: After log measurement, a log measurement report is created. Following log sorting, a purchase order is created for the measured logs. Based on the purchase order, a log reception act is created and sent to the supplier. After the supplier’s confirmation, a purchase invoice is created.
- Inventory Tracking and Reporting: Thanks to Business Central’s functionality and Copilot’s smart additional features, reports can be easily generated with OIXIO | Timber. For example, it is possible to track the movement and location or age of logs.
- Log Sales: Similar to log purchase, log sales are also linked to the EVR waybill. The waybill can be created in OIXIO | Timber. After log sales, the client checks them on their measurement line and sends an act, based on which the quantity of dispatched logs can be corrected in their system.
- Sawing and Product Families: Once the log is accounted for, it moves to production. Sawing plans, or product families, can be described in OIXIO | Timber, detailing the expected output.
- Moving Towards Zero Waste: In the wood industry, optimizing log sawing is crucial. Thanks to precise measurement and product family descriptions, OIXIO | Timber helps move towards zero waste, maximizing the value obtained from each log.
Reduce Double Work and Errors Across the Supply Chain
Often, wood companies use different software for each work segment, requiring a lot of manual work. OIXIO | Timber makes log management, production, sales, procurement, and logistics faster and more efficient. One solution for the entire supply chain is significantly more efficient, reducing the possibility of errors and helping the company create more value.
