SUNNYVALE, Calif., Dec. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ:
TRMB) announced today that Harvestia Oy, a major Finnish wood
supply company, will implement Trimble's LogForce™ forestry
transportation planning and execution software. LogForce is a
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) that provides logging and
transportation contractors and forest companies with the ability to
efficiently plan and manage transport within the raw materials
supply chain.
LogForce is a key component of Trimble's Connected Forest
solutions, which manage the full raw materials lifecycle of

In April of 2016 Tieto Corporation, the largest IT services
company in the Nordics, began distributing Trimble's LogForce
forestry transportation planning software and WoodForce™ planning
control system software for harvesting operations in the Nordic
forestry regions.
"We welcome Harvestia Oy as a customer and look forward to
delivering a flexible timber transport solution that enables them
to improve efficiencies and operations," said Ken Moen, general manager of Trimble's Forestry
Division. "Harvestia's decision to adopt LogForce is a result of
our collaboration with Teito to expand our joint go-to market
capabilities and accelerate innovation in the growing Nordic
forestry market for intelligent wood and fibre SaaS solutions."
"Trimble's LogForce solution is an integrated part of our wood
and fibre supply solution portfolio. Harvestia's rollout proves to
us that the Nordic forestry market is ready to take the next step
towards vertical SaaS solutions that are optimized for the
industry," Jaakko Kuusisaari, director, Wood and Fibre
Solutions, Tieto Corporation.
