The average North American pulp mill consumes more than 1.5 million tons of wood fiber. When purchasing wood raw material on this scale, pennies matter.

Using our benchmarks and supply chain tools, our customers are able to pinpoint individual cost component inefficiencies in their supply chains including origin, destination, volume, price, species, product and a host of other unique attributes of individual loads of wood.
