Waldo: Flexibility for Every Forest

No two forests operate the same. Terrain, species mix, ownership, truck types, mill rules, and state regs all shape the way wood moves. Waldo was built for that reality. Our platform connects the people and data from stump to scale so you can run smooth operations without forcing your workflows into a one-size-fits-all tool.

Built for Any Geography

Whether you’re on steep West Coast ground, Great Lakes hardwoods, or Southeastern pine, Waldo handles:

Different hauling practices: Loader-managed shipping or self-loading trucks—either can start a ticket and hand it off cleanly.

Different measures: Tons, cords, MBF (via mill slip), and custom units—captured consistently on every trip ticket.

• Thin connectivity: Offline capture on the landing and in the cab, with automatic sync and audit history.

Built for real-world variability

Jobs & sort sheets: Set up a job, define products and destinations, and control what can go where. If a mill pauses a spec, toggle it off—everyone sees the change instantly.

Role-based access: Landowners, managers, loggers, truckers, mills, certification staff—each stakeholder gets the right view and the right actions.

• Mobile + web, online or off: Crews work offline in the woods; data syncs automatically when they have service.

Species, products, and quotas—without the spreadsheet sprawl

Products & species groups: Configure pulp, bolts, sawlogs, by-product loads (chips/bark/sawdust), and more per job.

• Quota & availability controls: Turn destinations/specs on or off in seconds so trucks only see what’s actually open.

• Live landing inventory (estimated): Add wood events on the landing to broadcast what’s piled and ready; Waldo reconciles as scale data arrives.

In the truck, at the landing, and in the office

Digital trip tickets: Start, claim, and complete loads with all required details.

AI scale-slip verification: Snap the slip—Waldo reads gross/tare/net and flags mismatches before they become back-office work.

Real-time status: See what’s in transit, delivered, and paid—without three phone calls and a text chain.

Plays nicely with your stack

• Structured exports & integrations: Send clean ticket data to your accounting and mill systems. We support standard CSV/flat-file exports and maintain connectors to popular log-accounting platforms; we add new ones with customers as needed.

Security & compliance: Chain-of-custody reporting, audit trails, quota control, and EUDR-ready data exports help you pass the clipboards and the audits.

What Waldo covers today—and what’s next

In production today

• Digital trip tickets (mobile & web, offline capable)

• Job setup, sort sheets, destinations, quotas

• Role-based access for all stakeholders

• AI scale-slip capture & verification

• Exports/integrations to downstream systems

• Settlements workflows (who to pay / how much)

• Reporting and audit history

Actively expanding with partners

• Yard workflows and deeper log-by-log use cases (common in West Coast hardwood/softwood scaling)

• Additional system connectors requested by mills and land managers

If you want to help shape those areas, we’re actively piloting—reach out and we’ll loop you in.

Bottom line

Waldo doesn’t ask your operation to change who it is. It adapts to the way you run today and gives you clearer data, fewer phone calls, and faster pay-days—while setting you up for what’s coming next.
