Caribou Purchases StumpGeek Software
Caribou Software, a forestry software company that services more than 300 timber companies across North America, has announced its acquisition of the StumpGeek forestry software system to extend its product offering to smaller logging contractors and sawmills.
“Over the years, we’ve spoken to many, many logging contractors and small sawmills who move 10 to 30 loads a week and need a simple way to pay trucking subs and ensure they are receiving payment for all their loads, but they don’t need the full capabilities of our Logger’s Edge and Cutting Edge systems,” says Teresa Hannah, President and Co-Founder of Caribou. “StumpGeek allows us to assist those smaller, simpler companies at a price point that works for their budget.”
The StumpGeek product was designed by Wesley Bushor, a logging contractor in Wisconsin, who wanted a better system than the interlinked spreadsheet he had developed over his 30 years of harvesting timber to keep up with his own logging business. He partnered with a professional software developer, and the two of them first launched StumpGeek into the market in 2015. StumpGeek’s existing client base is mostly centered in the Midwest, but it also encompasses companies in Arkansas, Maine, New Hampshire, Oregon, West Virginia and Mississippi.
In addition to tracking production volumes, revenue and payments associated with load tickets, StumpGeek also has a “Work Log” for tracking things like truck mileage, fuel costs, road-building hours, and other types of non-load-based work. It even has a “Money Log” that serves as an electronic checkbook.
