Built by an LBM operator · For lumberyards and truss plants
I spent thirty years in lumberyards and truss plants. I retired. Then I built the thing I kept wishing somebody would.
Yard worker, dispatcher, purchaser, general manager, president. I have keyed the same list twice, watched a forklift circle the yard for one package, and bought without the whole demand picture in front of me. LMBR is what I wanted on those days.
We run Shadow Mode first to show where your own numbers point to savings. It is read-only: it watches the work without changing your process or writing into your ERP. If you approve BOLT-ON, we start slow. You choose which workflows it can touch and how much authority it gets. It is built around your operation—not an all-or-nothing rollout.

LMBR works beside the system you already have. One team, one set of facts, and your people stay in charge.
The expensive part
The costliest problems in a lumberyard are the ones you find out about last.
The stockout you hear about Thursday
By the time the report shows it, the builder already called someone else.
The buy that looked fine on paper
Nobody writes down why a decision was made, so nobody learns from it.
The savings nobody can prove
Software promises a number. Your CFO asks for the evidence. There isn't any.
The yard
Easiest example of LMBR savings
With your permission, we can put forklift travel over an aerial view of the yard. That shows repeated trips, crowded lanes, and layout changes worth testing. Your managers choose the test, and we measure the same work before and after.
Forklift travel measurements and a yard heat map are part of Shadow Mode at the agreed branch. Before collecting travel data, we agree on the equipment, site access, safety rules, and how the routes and results will be measured.
- 01
Permit and baseline
Agree on the site, imagery, safety rules, and success measure.
- 02
Map the travel
Compare observed movement with open aisles and operating constraints.
- 03
Test the change
Management approves a controlled layout or staging experiment.
- 04
Verify the result
Measure the same route before and after; keep estimates separate.
