NetSuite for Lumber & Wood Products Manufacturers

Board feet, tallies, yields, and grades, handled the way sawmills and wood-products plants actually count.

Wood Doesn’t Come in Eaches. Your ERP Should Know That.

Lumber is bought by the tally, sold by the board foot, and priced by species, grade, and thickness. A single log or bundle becomes several products, by-products, and waste, and yield is the number that decides whether a run made money. NetSuite gives lumber and wood-products businesses one system for purchasing, production, inventory, sales, and financials, and Consule Solutions implements it so board feet and tallies are native from day one, not a spreadsheet running alongside.

Extending NetSuite for Board Feet, Tallies, and Yield

NetSuite handles inventory, work orders, sales, purchasing, and financials in one system, which is the foundation a lumber business needs. What wood products add is a different way of counting: board feet calculated from species, grade, and thickness; vendor tally sheets tracked through allocation and consumption; yield that compares input board feet against output; and the same item sold by the piece, the bundle, or the thousand board feet depending on the customer. Those are everyday realities in a sawmill, a millwork shop, or a lumber yard.

That’s what LumberSuite adds, natively inside NetSuite: a Board Feet Engine, tally management from vendor entry and CSV import through consumption, yield and waste tracking, repack processing, board-foot summaries on work orders and on sales and purchase orders with dynamic unit pricing, yield targets with by-product tracking, and dashboards for board feet, yield, and production across the value chain. Same NetSuite, same login, no integration to maintain.

What Changes When It’s Done Right

Yield You Can Act On

Input versus output board feet on every run, by species and grade, so you know where waste is happening.

Tallies That Match the Truck

Vendor tally sheets tracked from receiving through consumption, so inventory reflects what arrived and what is left.

Sell in the Unit the Customer Wants

Pieces, bundles, lineal feet, or MBF, with pricing that converts correctly every time.

Finance and the Yard Agree

Board feet, inventory value, and margin come from the same records, so month-end reconciles without a spreadsheet.
