Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) transformation represents a wealth of opportunities for forestry companies to grow sustainably and drive better revenues. The importance of a good ERP implementation is especially pronounced in companies that operate across a complex supply chain that reaches many different stakeholders. The forestry industry is a case in point.

For large forest product companies, value chains are long and often complex networks of suppliers and partnerships, extending to the final consumers. To optimize the ERP implementation for a forestry company, the ERP provider requires industry-specific information on the forestry value chain, which could include anything from wood procurement to the reliability of the equipment used in making the final product. Choosing an ERP transformation partner with insight into the latest industry practices and experience deploying ERP solutions in the forestry value chain is paramount for forestry companies.
