ERP Software For Timber Merchants
Whoever said size isn't everything clearly wasn't a timber merchant.
Lengths, widths and thicknesses all matter - and availability depends on how material is actually held, processed and broken down.
Merchanter gives you clear visibility of timber by length and section, so stock movement, sales and replenishment decisions are based on reality, not totals.
When you can see how different lengths are performing across the business, buying becomes more deliberate, selling becomes more confident, and stock stays under control.

How to effectively manage timber stock using a computer system
This practical guide explores how timber merchants can take control of stock in a measured-product environment.
From length reporting and pack management to lots, certification and value-added processing, it breaks down the key decisions that shape accurate stock control. You’ll gain clear, actionable insight into how to manage timber digitally - without overcomplicating your operations.
View timber packs in full detail, including shipping and certification information.
Total volume and piece counts are broken down by length, so you can see exactly what’s in each pack and how it contributes to stock.
Timber Packs
Understand how stock is moving by length, not just by product.
Clear reporting shows performance across sizes, helping you identify demand patterns and make more informed replenishment decisions.
Length Reporting
Hold each cross section to defined length specifications.
See all available lengths on one display and enter multiple lengths on a single order line, without splitting products or losing clarity.
Length Control
Handle volume calculations with precision where it matters.
Accurate measurement reduces rounding issues, improves costing visibility and keeps stock figures aligned with reality.
Volume to 3 Decimal Places
Work in imperial and metric without switching systems.
Buy in one unit, stock in another and sell in a third - with live conversions handled inside the order, so mixed measures don’t slow you down.
Imperial & Metric
Add processing details directly to sales or stock orders.
Mill and Return lines feed costs and selling prices automatically, helping you keep margins sensible. You can also route material to outworkers where required.
Milling, Processing & Treatments
Hold each product type to the level of detail that matters.
Control hardwoods by mixed width specification, manage softwoods by length and section, and sell sheet materials by the unit - without forcing everything into the same structure.
Hardwood, Softwood & Sheet Materials
Track certification by volume and full chain of custody.
Attach documentation to stock, automate reporting and ensure what you sell can always be traced back clearly and accurately.
