The operational problem forestry organisations already know
Most timber purchasing organisations already have the information they need.
The problem is that the operational flow is fragmented across contracts, spreadsheets, transport coordination, supplier communication, settlement handling, and disconnected administrative systems.
Procurement tracks one version of deliveries. Transport teams work from another. Finance reconciles settlement differences afterward instead of seeing them continuously.
As supplier networks grow larger and pricing structures become more complex, manual coordination becomes part of daily operations.
Most organisations experience disconnected layers and want to fix them.
VACS was built to solve the operational issue underneath all of it.
What VACS changes operationally
VACS connects supplier agreements, contracts, logistics, delivery follow-up, pricing, settlement, and invoicing into one continuous operational workflow.
Harvesting coordination, transport data, delivery records, pricing logic, self-billing, and supplier settlements all operate from the same connected data model in real time.
When deliveries are confirmed, the operational information already exists inside the workflow. Pricing calculations run automatically, settlement processes stay connected to delivery data, and procurement teams spend less time reconciling information manually across systems.
The result is stronger operational control across the timber purchasing process.

Why VACS works as a purpose-built solution for timber purchasing operations
VACS was developed inside Nordic forestry operations over more than 25 years alongside the organisations using it every day.
Today, the platform supports 400+ organisations across timber purchasing, logistics, supplier administration, settlement, and transport workflows.
VACS is now being introduced to Baltic timber purchasing organisations facing growing operational complexity around supplier coordination, pricing, delivery follow-up, settlement, and EUDR traceability.
The operational complexity already exists inside the platform:
conditional pricing, supplier agreements, harvesting coordination, self-billing, delivery follow-up, and traceability across large supplier networks.
This is not a generic ERP adapted into forestry.
It is a mature operational platform purpose-built for industrial timber purchasing and administration.
Traceability works best when it is operational
EUDR requires timber purchasing organisations to maintain clear supplier linkage, delivery traceability, and audit visibility across the supply chain.
For many organisations, that information still lives across spreadsheets, emails, transport records, and disconnected systems.
VACS connects supplier agreements, delivery records, transport coordination, pricing, and settlement into one operational workflow — making traceability part of normal operations instead of a separate administrative process.
The result is stronger operational visibility, less manual reconciliation, and a more reliable foundation for EUDR compliance.
