The implementation of new technologies in your daily processes requires time, readiness to change and reengineering the existing processes. To help overcome these steps, Timbeter offers companies to run a one-month long pilot project, so collaborators from different units can understand how Timbeter’s solutions will increase efficiency in their operations.
Timbeter’s team will be supporting the organization throughout the trial and help to find solutions to any topic raised. The pilot project also contributes to organizational learning and gives inspiration and ideas into new business development.
Here are the 5 most important things that need to be addressed during the pilot.
1. Identifying use-cases and selecting correct measurement regimes
Timbeter offers a variety of different measurement regimes and features: diameter, truck, pile or pile density, covering all possible use-cases within different organizations. To learn more, click here to read an overview. Select and use the option that follows your current company’s measurement process.
When validating the results, make sure you compare “apples to apples” and “oranges to oranges”, meaning that the most important part of the process is to compare results from manual measurements with Timbeter by using the same methods. If the current process is based on a highly subjective person-dependent visual observation, then it might be challenging to determine what is the “truth” behind this estimate.
With Timbeter, all the measurements are in digital format and all the data and pictures are available for comparison – which is not the case when measurements are simply done based on the human eye. What we also have discovered is that even though the company has regulations and processes in place, during the implementation and comparison of Timbeter with manually made results, a lot of hidden discrepancies are discovered, showing that some processes should be changed internally.
Our customer support is happy to share any relevant examples that can be easily implemented within the organization.

2. Company specific data
Storages, species, reason of defect and any custom information that needs to be connected to measurements can be quickly added to Timbeter. Make sure that you have added your company specific data, so Timbeter would be even easier to use for your collaborators during the pilot process.
For that, our company provides training on the Web Storage Module functionalities, allowing collaborators to understand how to add specific information regarding the company and manage devices, users, storages and much more with a few clicks.
3. Special features
In addition to the existing features Timbeter has nearly 20+ special features that are not instantly visible in the standard solution: weight density, dynamic diameter distribution, duplicates – to name just a few. These features are used by different clients all over the world according to their needs and specifications regarding wood measurement to increase efficiency and have a better management of the supply chain.
