Timber Load Tracking Software That Actually Works
TRACT delivers real-time load visibility from stump to mill with AI-powered ticket scanning, mobile field apps, and driver self-service. Trusted by leading forestry operations including INGKA Investments (IKEA), BTG Pactual, and Superior Pine.
Why TRACT Load Tracking Beats Spreadsheets and Manual Systems
Real-Time Visibility
Stop chasing down load tickets at the end of the week. TRACT gives you live visibility into every load — where it came from, where it’s going, and what’s on the truck. GPS tracking, geofenced landing sites, and instant ticket capture mean you always know what’s happening in the field.
AI-Powered Ticket Scanning
Drivers snap a photo of the mill ticket, and TRACT’s AI extracts all the data automatically — gross weight, tare weight, species, grade, and mill destination. No more manually typing ticket numbers or deciphering handwritten weights. The AI gets smarter with every scan, reducing errors and speeding up data entry.
Mobile-First Field Ops
Built for the field, not the office. Drivers use their own phones to log loads, scan tickets, and update delivery status — even when there’s no cell signal. When they get back in range, everything syncs automatically. No expensive hardware, no complex training, just simple apps that work.

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:
2.8 weeks
Loggers
6.1 weeks
Foresters
7.5 weeks
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.
Trusted by Industry Leaders
TRACT serves forestry operations across North America — from mid-size regional dealers to institutional timberland investors managing hundreds of thousands of acres.
