Forestry Settlement Software — Automated, Accurate, Fast

TRACT automates forestry settlements with contract-based calculations, seamless landowner/logger/hauler payments, and direct QuickBooks/NetSuite sync. Trusted by leading forestry operations including INGKA Investments (IKEA), BTG Pactual, and Superior Pine.


Why TRACT Settlement Software Beats Manual Spreadsheet Processes

Automated Calculations

Stop spending days calculating settlements manually. TRACT uses your contract terms to automatically compute landowner stumpage, logger payments, and hauler fees based on actual load data. Different species, grades, and pricing tiers are handled automatically. What used to take days now happens in minutes.

One Source of Truth

No more reconciling different spreadsheets or chasing down missing load tickets. TRACT settlement calculations flow directly from verified load data, ensuring every settlement is accurate and auditable. Landowners, loggers, and haulers all see the same numbers because they come from the same system.

Integrated Accounting

TRACT settlements push directly to QuickBooks or NetSuite with proper GL coding — no double entry, no manual journal entries, no errors. Accounts payable, accounts receivable, and 1099 reporting are all handled automatically. Your books stay clean and your accountant stays happy.

Why Forestry Teams Choose TRACT

Purpose-built for forestry. TRACT isn’t generic business software adapted for logging. Every feature — from load entry to settlements to timber security — was designed for how wood suppliers actually work. No workarounds, no modules bolted on after the fact.

One system, not five. Field apps, load tracking, accounting, reconciliation, and reporting all live in one platform. Data enters once and flows everywhere it needs to go — no re-keying, no spreadsheet bridges between disconnected tools.

Real support from real forestry people. When you call TRACT, you talk to someone who knows the difference between a gate card and a scale ticket. Every engineer on the team builds features for your industry — forestry isn’t a side project.


How TRACT Works — From Load to Ledger

1. Log the Load

Drivers enter loads on their phones — even offline. GPS tags the location automatically. Photos of scale tickets get scanned by AI and converted to data. No paper shuffling back at the office.

2. Track & Reconcile

Every load is tracked from origin to delivery with full chain of custody. When mill statements come in, TRACT matches them against your records automatically and flags discrepancies the same day.

3. Settle Automatically

Contract terms are entered once. TRACT applies the right rates to every load — stumpage, freight, harvesting — and generates settlement statements. What used to take days takes minutes.

4. Sync to Your Books

Settlements, invoices, and payments sync directly to QuickBooks or NetSuite. No double entry, no export/import dance. Your books stay accurate in real time.


Getting Started Is Faster Than You Think

Switching software sounds painful — but the UGA study measured exactly how long it takes to get up to speed:

Foresters

Admin Staff

33% of teams saw measurable business improvement in less than one month. The majority saw results in less than three months. And 42% reported the software allowed them to reduce or reassign administrative staff — meaning TRACT doesn’t just save time, it frees up headcount for higher-value work.
