Description: Waldo (waldologs.com) is a digital platform designed for the forestry industry to manage timber supply chains from the "stump to the mill". It replaces paper-based ticketing systems with real-time digital, mobile, and web-based tools that work offline, allowing loggers, truckers, and landowners to track wood loads, verify scale data, and manage payments.
Key Functions of Waldo for Forestry:
Digital Trip Tickets (E-Tickets): Replaces paper tickets with a mobile app that allows truckers and loggers to create, track, and send load information in real time, even without cell service.
AI Scale-Slip Verification: Uses artificial intelligence to scan handwritten scale slips from mills, automatically reading and verifying data like gross/tare/net weight to reduce manual entry errors.
Real-Time Logistics Tracking: Provides visibility into every load as it moves from the landing to the mill, allowing managers to see what is in transit, delivered, or pending.
Chain of Custody & Compliance: Automates the tracking required for certifications (FSC, SFI, PEFC) and ensures compliance with regulations like the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR).
Settlements & Payments: Matches load tickets with mill scale tickets automatically, calculating payments for landowners, loggers, and haulers to speed up the settlement process.
Harvest Management & Mapping: Allows for the creation of harvest areas, defining wood products (pulp, sawlogs), and creating georeferenced maps to track landing locations.
Offline-First Operation: Designed specifically for remote forest environments, the app works without internet access, syncing all data automatically once a connection is regained.
