Why Generic Accounting Software Fails in Timber Yards & Sawmills
The timber and sawmill business operates on three-dimensional geometric measurement, biological grading, and conversion shrinkage. Generic accounting tools designed for simple carton boxes or piece counts cannot calculate cubic feet formulas, track individual log serial numbers, or reconcile sawing kerf losses.
Manual Girth Measurements & CFT Volume Disputes
Calculating volume for hundreds of round logs using manual pocket calculators and quarter-girth formulas is painfully slow and prone to arithmetic mistakes. Contractors frequently dispute volume figures, bark thickness deductions, and taper allowances. A minor 2-inch girth recording error across an entire truckload of teak or pine results in thousands in lost depot revenue.
Sawmill Conversion Blindness & Untracked Kerf Loss
When round logs enter the sawmill bandsaw, they are sliced into sawn timber—planks, rafters, beams, and scantlings. During this process, 15% to 25% of wood volume turns into sawdust, bark slabs, and off-cuts. Without specialized conversion vouchers, sawmill operators cannot determine true sawn timber recovery percentages or calculate fair job-work sawing charges per CFT.
Dual Unit Plywood Chaos & Forest Transit Permits
Plywood, MDF, and decorative laminates are purchased by manufacturers in crates or sheets but billed to interior contractors and carpenters in square feet (Sq.Ft). Managing dual-unit inventories manually leads to stock discrepancies. Furthermore, transporting commercial timber requires transit permits and legal timber manifest passes that standard retail POS software cannot generate.
Purpose-Built Capabilities for Wood Merchants & Sawmill Mills
InventoryPlus automates timber industry measurement and accounting—from log measurement tally sheets and bandsaw sawing conversion vouchers to dual-unit sheet billing and transit pass documentation.
Round Log CFT Tally Sheets & Automated Girth Formulas
Accelerate timber yard intake and customer billing. Enter log dimensions using fast numeric keys: Length in Feet/Inches and Girth in Inches. InventoryPlus instantly calculates cubic volume using the Hoppus formula (Quarter Girth Squared × Length ÷ 144) or true metric cubic meters (CBM).
- Customizable Bark Allowance: Automatically subtracts 1 to 2 inches of bark thickness based on wood species (Teak, Sal, Pine, Meranti, Rubberwood).
- Numbered Log Tally Lists: Prints comprehensive delivery tally sheets listing every log's serial number, length, girth, and individual CFT volume.
- Defect & Hollow Deductions: Allows timber measurers to deduct hollow core or bend allowances directly on the measurement grid.
Sawmill Sawing Conversion & Job-Work Billing Ledger
Track the transformation of round timber logs into commercial sawn planks, battens, and rafters. For sawmills providing cutting job-work to third-party timber contractors, InventoryPlus records inbound log volume, sawn timber output, and sawing service fees per CFT.
- Round-to-Sawn Plank Conversion: Automatically deducts consumed log volume and adds cut planks with exact thickness, width, and length dimensions to finished stock.
- Kerf & Sawdust Wastage Ledger: Captures sawdust and firewood off-cut by-products for secondary bulk sale to biomass or brick manufacturing units.
- Contractor Sawing Job-Work Invoicing: Bills custom sawing charges based on input log CFT or output plank CFT with customizable band-saw wage tariffs.
Dual Unit Plywood Conversion & Contractor Khata
Eliminate inventory confusion across sheet materials. Whether selling commercial BWR plywood, Marine grade ply, MDF, acrylic sheets, or mica laminates, InventoryPlus converts between sheet pieces and square footage (e.g. 8x4 = 32 Sq.Ft; 7x4 = 28 Sq.Ft; 6x3 = 18 Sq.Ft) dynamically.
- Dual Unit Invoice Printing: Prints both sheet count and total billable square footage on the customer invoice, eliminating carpenter disputes.
- Carpenter & Interior Designer Khata: Tracks credit ledgers, project site deliveries, and referral commission accounts for trade professionals.
- Transit Permit (Form II) Printing: Generates official timber delivery passes with truck number, driver details, and forest species classifications.

Common Questions About Timber Depot & Sawmill Software
Find practical answers regarding round log Hoppus formulas, sawn timber conversion, plywood square feet calculations, and statutory tax invoicing.
Which formula does the software use to calculate round log cubic feet (CFT)?
InventoryPlus supports multiple industry-standard wood volume formulas. By default, it applies the traditional Hoppus or Quarter Girth formula: (Girth in inches / 4)² × (Length in feet / 144). You can also configure true cylindrical volume, Huber's formula, or metric cubic meters (CBM) depending on regional trade conventions. Bark thickness deductions can be preset per wood species.
How does the software handle sawmill conversion from round logs to sawn planks?
When a batch of round logs is sawn at the mill, you generate a Sawing Conversion Voucher. You record the total round log CFT input and the resulting output of cut timber (planks, rafters, battens) with exact section dimensions. The software calculates recovery efficiency, allocates procurement and processing costs across the finished lumber, and logs kerf sawdust for by-product sale.
Can we bill plywood and laminate sheets in both pieces and square feet?
Yes. InventoryPlus includes native dual-unit sheet conversion. When entering 10 sheets of 8ft × 4ft plywood, the software automatically computes 320 square feet. You can quote and bill either per sheet or per square foot. The printed tax invoice clearly shows sheet count, unit dimensions, and total square footage for complete client transparency.
How does InventoryPlus handle statutory tax rates across round logs, sawn timber, and labor?
Tax laws frequently apply different tax classifications or exemption rules across raw round logs, processed sawn timber, engineered wood boards (plywood/MDF), and sawmill sawing service labor. InventoryPlus provides granular item-level tax master settings, automatically applying the proper statutory tax rate, VAT slab, or service code to each line on the invoice.
