Why Timbba

Six places a sawmill loses money quietly.

None of them appear on a balance sheet as “leakage” or “fraud”. They appear as a margin thinner than the arithmetic says it should be. Open any one to see how Timbba’s log tracking, timber inventory and challan controls close it.

01

Logs go missing between the vessel and your gate

Timbba: every barcode scanned at the gate against the supplier's list — shortage known the same day.

The supplier's list says 1,000 CBM. What actually rolls through the gate is counted by hand, days later, by someone else — and the shortage is discovered after the claim window has closed.

With Timbba, tally, non-tally and “never arrived” are known per lorry as it is unloaded, with the evidence attached for the claim.

02

Variation nobody can prove

Timbba: purchase figures prefilled from the scan; the mill enters its own — variation per log, per machine, per grade.

The log measured 28 cm at purchase and 25 cm at the machine. Was it the supplier's grading, the girth tape, or the munshi? By the time anyone asks, the log is boards.

Timbba books the difference against the machine, the operator, the grade and the consignment, and shows the owner a percentage on the dashboard every morning.

03

Stock you only trust at month end

Timbba: a published statement sets the position; every adjustment and lorry is a delta. Net stock is a query, never a count.

The register says one figure, the yard another, and reconciling the two is a day's work that never quite finishes. Meanwhile sales quotes from memory.

Timbba's stock can never go negative and never drifts: the last published statement plus every movement since is the position, by dimension, mill and location.

04

Orders promised from memory

Timbba: an order queue showing every open line, what is ready, what is in production, what is overdue.

A customer's 12×6×2 was promised for Tuesday; the mill sawed 10×4×2 all week. Nobody owns the gap until the lorry is at the gate and the customer is on the phone.

With the queue, the day's sawing is cut against real demand, and loading can only pick lines that are on an order.

05

Reports that arrive two days late

Timbba: fifty reports on your own data the moment it is captured; click any figure to open the logs behind it.

An outside team scans, goes away and e-mails a sheet later. By then the questions have changed and the sheet cannot be interrogated.

Timbba's reports run when you press Run, drill down to the individual log, and export to Excel or PDF for the auditor, the supplier or the customer.

06

Everything depends on one person

Timbba: one job per person on the phone, bound to their device; the knowledge lives in the system.

The munshi who knows the yard is the yard. When he is away the numbers stop; when he leaves, they leave with him.

Gate, machine, loading and store each get their own screen and their own role. The owner can check any of it, from anywhere, at any time.

How it works

Five stages. One record per log.

A log cannot be sawn before it is received, sold before it is sawn, or shipped before it is ordered — so the figures reconcile by construction.

  1. 1 GATE

    Receive the consignment, lorry by lorry

    Import the supplier's list from Excel and set the consignment gate-ready. The gate operator picks the yard on the phone and scans each log off the lorry.

    • Tally / non-tally / pending per batch, live
    • Gate pass and e-way number on every batch
    • Manual entry when a barcode won't read
    All Consignments on the web
    Gate entry on the phone
  2. 2 MILL

    Measure at the saw, compare to what you paid for

    The operator scans the log at the mill. Purchase figures come up prefilled; the mill records its own length and girth. Variation is booked against machine, grade and consignment.

    • Per-machine variation with median and outliers
    • Non-tally logs tracked and merged later
    • Logs resold as logs recorded as resale
    Variation Comparison report
    Machine entry on the phone
  3. 3 STOCK

    A stock ledger that cannot drift

    Sawn output is entered by product and mill. A published statement fixes the position on a date; adjustments and loadings move it from there.

    • Lumber by dimension, ripsaw in RFT, dust in kg
    • Recovery: usable timber vs. purchased, per period
    • Opening stock imported from Excel on day one
    Current Stock on the web
    Stock on the phone
  4. 4 ORDERS

    Sell what you have, saw what you sold

    Orders by dimension or by volume, in the customer's units. The queue shows delivery dates, what is ready and what is overdue, so the day's sawing is cut against demand.

    • Your own order prefix; part-deliveries tracked
    • Volume orders stay in their unit
    • Loading picks lines from the order, capped at what remains
    Order Queue on the web
    Orders on the phone
  5. 5 LOADING & CHALLAN

    Nothing leaves without a challan

    A loading batch is a draft until its challan is generated. Generating deducts stock; cancelling restores it. The gate scans the challan's barcode before the lorry moves.

    • Gate-pass and challan numbering per client
    • Vehicle weight and per-product volume on every batch
    • Duplicate a batch for the next lorry on the same order
    Loading batches on the web
    Verify Challan on the phone: challan read, ready to dispatch, with vehicle, customer, order and weight

Pinewood & hardwood

Every log measured the way the yard measures it.

Pinewood arrives barcoded from the vessel, with the supplier's SED and cut length. Hardwood arrives as a lot: species, camp, mark, girth and hollow. Timbba handles both, in the units each trade uses, and keeps them apart wherever it matters — every report has a version for each wood.

Pine · barcode & SEDscanned against the list; CFT and CBM per log
Pine · tally vs. non-tallywhat was on the list, what was sawn without it
Hardwood · quarter-girththe yard's own rule, hollow deducted

What owners say

Sawmills that stopped guessing.

Owners and managers in pine and hardwood mills across India, in their own words.

We received a shortage of 26 metres of logs from the port and found it was in non-tally logs. I claimed the shortage from the port. I can see the work done by munshis and whether they are doing the right job.
Ashish GuptaGupta Timber
We ordered 1,000 CBM of logs and actually received 850 — now we get all of that on Timbba. Munshis can't change barcodes, replace logs or put the wrong girth, because Timbba identifies it immediately.
Sanchit AggarwalRKG Timber
Timbba gives transparency in work at the sawmill. I can check on my phone how much work has been done and how much is left, and easily check the variation on machines. The gate scan helps verify the exact data.
Dinesh JainJindal Ply & Timber
Earlier we managed stock in books, so after a month we'd know how much we had — and people made wrong entries. Now we know the exact stock in a day, and the leakage on the port is resolved.

Earlier two people from another company came to scan the logs and we received the reports one or two days later. In Timbba we receive reports in real time, and we know the exact log count and measurement.

Who is Timbba for?

Sawmills, timber importers, plywood and veneer mills and log yards that buy logs by the vessel or the lot and sell sawn timber: pine and other softwoods received with barcodes, and hardwoods received by species, girth and hollow. Owners who want to know the same day what came in, what was sawn and what is left.

Does it need special hardware?

No. The app runs on ordinary Android and iOS phones and uses the camera as the barcode reader. The web admin runs in any modern browser. Barcodes on the logs come from your supplier, as they do today.

How do we start?

Book a demo. We set up your company, users, machines, species and product sizes, import your opening stock and your first consignment, and walk the gate and mill teams through the app at your yard.

How long does it take to go live?

A yard with its supplier lists and product sizes ready is usually running within a week: one day to set up, one consignment walked through with your team, and the rest is habit.

Is Timbba a sawmill ERP?

It is the operations half of one: log tracking, gate and mill entry, timber inventory management, orders, loading and challans, store and reporting. It does not do accounting or payroll — figures export to Excel for your accountant, and a general ERP can sit beside it.

How is this different from a generic inventory system?

Generic stock software counts pieces. Timbba understands logs: barcodes from the vessel, girth and hollow, CFT and CBM, tally and non-tally, purchase against mill measurement, recovery from log to board. The traceability runs from the supplier's list to the challan the lorry leaves on.
