FORLOG is designed for all professionals in the forestry and timber industry: forestry contractors, loggers, timber merchants, cooperatives, forestry groups, and management organizations. The software is suitable for both small businesses and larger organizations managing multiple projects or teams simultaneously. It is customized to your specific business and needs.
Does FORLOG software support electronic invoicing?
Yes, FORLOG's Billing module allows you to create electronic invoices in Factur-X format and manage the entire invoice lifecycle (credit notes, payments, reminders, annual reports). The software is designed to help you comply with new electronic invoicing requirements while minimizing data re-entry thanks to its integration with job site data.
Can FORLOG help me with my certification process (PEFC, FSC, etc.)?
Yes. By structuring and archiving information related to your construction sites, timber flows, and inventories, FORLOG facilitates audit preparation and the monitoring of your certification commitments. The software allows you to track timber certifications, supply areas, and the necessary records to demonstrate compliance with your practices.
Does FORLOG comply with traceability requirements and the RDUE?

The software helps you gather and store the information necessary to meet the requirements of the EU Timber Regulation and the various regulations applicable to the forestry and timber sector, as well as certification processes (PEFC, FSC, RED III).
Can we plan the construction sites and the teams?
FORLOG allows you to plan your forestry operations, define the tasks to be performed, and send work orders to field teams. With the Work module, you can track time spent, production, and equipment usage, then compare these elements to your forecasts. This gives you a clear overview of the workload, priorities, and profitability of your teams on each site.
On which devices can it be used?
FORLOG is used in the office on computers for the overall management of worksites, inventory, and invoicing.
