The Log Scaling Software, developed by Caribou Software, aims to meet the mobile log scaling needs of the forestry industry. According to the vendor, this software solution caters to various organizations in the forestry sector, including forestry professionals, log scalers, log yard managers, logging companies, and lumber mills. The Log Scaling Software offers a range of features designed to streamline log scaling processes and enhance productivity for professionals in the forestry industry.

Simple and Intuitive: According to the vendor, the Log Entry screen is designed to be clean, simple, and easy to understand, providing a user-friendly experience. Users can navigate entry boxes effortlessly using Tab and Function keys, and quick keys can be set up for efficient single-character data entry. The software automatically calculates the gross volume based on length and diameter, and log defect deductions can be easily entered.

No More Swapping Around of Data Files: The Handheld System can operate independently, but the vendor suggests that it works best when integrated with Caribou's software. The office can create and manage lists of Jobs, Tracts, Lots, Species, Products, Grades, and more. Each morning, the scaler can download the latest lists, ensuring data validation. Scaled log data can be downloaded to the office database over WiFi or cellular networks in real-time, eliminating the need for manual scale tally sheets and data swapping.

Log Data in the Palm of Your Hand: All log data is stored in a database on the handheld device, allowing easy access to past scale slips for reference. The software enables the generation of log tallies as PDF files, which can be shared via email, Dropbox, and other platforms. The software works both online and offline, facilitating remote work and seamless data syncing when in WiFi or cell range.

Log Rules Handled in Caribou's Scaling App: According to the vendor, the software supports various log rules, including Doyle, International 1/4 Rule, Scribner, and more. This ensures accurate volume calculations based on different log rules, promoting consistency and standardization in log measurements.
