Log Boom Storage
Storing log booms in fresh water has its own set of complexities. Owners of storage grounds must manage both internally and externally-owned booms resting at their grounds. And in order to manage effectively, they need to know what’s on their ground, when it arrived, its exact location, who owns it, associated boom gear, invoicing details and more.
Some of your issues…
Log Towing, Yarding and Grounds Shifting are integral to the management of log boom storage grounds, yet there’s a disconnect between the towing management and storage management systems. That means creating invoices takes forever and is often inaccurate. What’s more, there’s no easy, graphical way to manage boom locations, making it hard to tell customers just exactly where their boom is located. By integrating one industry-specific system with log towing and production, storage ground managers can make their lives a lot easier.
