Abstract

The proof of origin of wood fulfils a customer need. End customers are increasingly demanding regional products.

With the app-based solution from Urstamm.ch, the origin of wood can be tracked and verified from the forest through processing to the end customer.

The origin and cutting date of timber components can be documented and verified, particularly for building construction.
