Timber Transportation & Forestry Logistics Software

Route optimization for timber truck fleets, forest operations and woodland managers – built for the industry's scale and seasonality

Get Started

Mappost plans timber transportation at state-forest scale: multi-day transport programs for fleets of 150+ timber trucks, picking up from thousands of roadside loading sites and delivering to hundreds of mills and terminals – recalculated as harvesting, orders and road conditions change.

The solver handles what makes forestry hard: forest roads and public roads with current condition data, seasonal weight limits and spring-thaw restrictions, different timber truck types with different parameters, delivery-site time windows, driver working hours and shift-change locations, transport price lists, prescribed loading and load-assembly sequences – and timber value curves, so assortments that lose value fastest at the roadside are picked up first.

Recognized by the Industry: the “Golden Pinecone” Award for Innovative Entrepreneurship

Mappost’s timber transportation optimization solver received the “Golden Pinecone” award – the Latvian forest industry’s highest honor, presented by the Ministry of Agriculture – in the Innovative Entrepreneurship category. It helps forest companies control operations, react rapidly to change, satisfy legislative regulations, and reduce costs and environmental impact.

Want Even More Than The Above?

Discover sophisticated forestry software features

Mappost models countless scenarios for data-driven decision-making. The system adapts to your business model and data structures, considering active harvesting sites and roadside landings, mill and terminal delivery points, fleet size, equipment restrictions and capacities, road weight limits, driver hours and working time regulations, and legislative requirements. For each scenario – may it be a 96-hour transport program, a season or a changed fleet – Mappost calculates the resources needed, enabling logistics managers to choose optimal variants, plan ahead, monitor costs, and stay in control of customer demand.

Mappost generates transport and collection schedules that managers share and continually re-optimize as data and actual operations change. New tasks join at any time – and drivers see their updated assignments immediately in the app.

Mappost provides high-level custom solutions and integrations according to client needs and practical challenges. Our software can integrate seamlessly with CRM, ERP systems and their industry-specific modules, GIS systems, automated information exchange systems, and real-time data flows between industry players, as well as automated data transmission to business intelligence (BI) and data systems.

What Should You Expect When Working With Us?

Attention to your needs

We start by deep-diving into your operation: harvesting and transport flows, assortments and contracts, fleet and contractor structure, road data sources, and existing systems. We aim to correctly assess each step of your timber transportation workflow, identify improvements, and agree on the best solution based on our forestry logistics experience.

A customized implementation plan

Once we understand your needs, processes and data, we develop a custom implementation plan – considering your absorption capacity and integrations, following your organization's pace, typically piloting one region or transport flow before scaling step by step.

Support in data gathering and exchange

We assist in data gathering, exchange and integration – loading site registries, road condition data, price lists, harvesting systems – building an efficient setup with real-time availability of all planning information and the flexibility to adapt to future requirements.

Collaboration with your employees

To ensure that end users make the most of Mappost, our dedicated team offers shadow support, working with managers and staff, helping them understand the system and employ it to their benefit, with field trips and by joining your company's daily activities.

Bespoke solutions

We customize Mappost to your specifics: your assortment structures, contract and pricing logic, ERP, CRM and task systems, and your data servers. You benefit from a secure solution – including maintained, adapted routing for forest road networks – that digitizes real operations with complete control over ongoing processes.

Outstanding support

After implementation we continue alongside you: multi-year maintenance and further development of the solution, expert consultations, solver monitoring, and regular improvements – the long-term partnership model this industry's planning systems require.
