One workspace for stump-to-sale timber operations.

Forestry & Timber Harvesting Management ties crews, equipment, harvest orders and graded, chain-of-custody timber batches into a single Odoo 19 application built for forestry, not adapted from generic field service.

The problem

Timber harvesting contractors, sawmill operators and forest management agencies run on a chain of interdependent activities, but generic ERP tooling treats a timesheet as just hours, a stock item as just a SKU, and a project as just tasks on a calendar. Wood species, grades, forest zones, weather-driven scheduling and the chain-of-custody documentation certified buyers and regulators demand are left to spreadsheets bolted onto standalone software that never talks to accounting or inventory.

The solution

Forestry & Timber Harvesting Management gives every forestry activity a home: master data for zones, species, grades, equipment and certifications; Harvest Orders that spawn projects, crews and timesheets; and Timber Batches that carry grade-based valuation, environmental readings and a buyer-ready chain-of-custody trail — all connected in a single Odoo 19 workspace.

Capabilities

Everything a forestry operation needs

Every capability below is implemented in the module.

01

Forestry Master Data

Forest zones, wood species, wood grades, equipment classes and crews give every downstream document the domain vocabulary generic Odoo lacks — no custom classification setup required.

02

Harvest Orders

The central operational document ties a forest zone, crew, species and buyer together, tracking planned vs. harvested volume, labor and equipment cost, margin and cost per cubic meter in one record.

03

Auto-Created Projects & Timesheets

Starting a harvest order spawns a project with Harvest, Replant and Maintenance tasks pre-tagged by forestry activity type, ready for crew timesheets with automatic overtime flagging.

04

Crew & Equipment Coordination

Assign crew leaders and members, allocate harvesters, forwarders, skidders and trucks, and see each crew's active order count and current zone at a glance.

05

Weather- & Season-Aware Scheduling

Flag a harvest order on weather hold with notes, and plan by season so crews and equipment are dispatched around the conditions that actually drive forestry work.

06

Chain-of-Custody Timber Batches

Every batch moves through felled, graded, stored, shipped and sold, logging a custody event at each transition — a buyer-ready traceability record from stump to sale.

07

Grade-Based Valuation & Reorder Points

Batches are valued automatically from species, grade and volume, and each grade surfaces a live stored-volume total against its seasonal reorder point.

08

Environmental Storage Monitoring

Log temperature, humidity and moisture readings per batch; out-of-range conditions are flagged automatically and the batch's latest moisture reading stays in sync.

09

Certifications, Compliance & Guided Setup

Track certification validity (FSC, PEFC and more) with automatic expiring/expired status, attach compliance rule templates that block a harvest order from closing when violated, and onboard fast with a guided setup wizard.

Workflow

How it works

1

Configure

Run the guided Setup Wizard to seed forest zones, species, grades and equipment for your operation type, or configure master data manually.

2

Plan & Start

Create a Harvest Order, assign a crew, zone and species, then start it to auto-create its project and forestry tasks.

3

Harvest & Grade

Log crew hours, record timber batches, and use the Grading Wizard to classify each batch by diameter and length.

4

Trace & Close

Move batches through stored, shipped and sold logging custody events, then close the order once compliance checks pass.
