Smarter forest logistics in practice

Forest logistics is more than freight – it’s about reliability, flexibility, and full control. These approaches will help your company reduce costs, improve delivery precision, and gain visibility across your supply chain.

  • Special cargo handling – timber, pulp, and paper are heavy, oversized, and non‑standard. We provide tailored solutions for secure loading, compliance, and safe transport.

  • Vendor Management – stay in control of multiple manufacturing and suppliers with proactive coordination, performance monitoring, and delivery accountability.

  • eCare reporting – real‑time performance tracking and KPIs give you full visibility of orders, suppliers, and terminals.

  • Sustainability focus – intermodal transport, CO₂ reporting, and green supply chain design to reduce environmental impact.

Frequently asked questions about our forest, paper and sawmill logistics

How is forest and paper industry logistics different from standard freight?

Industrial forest products are heavy, oversized, and non‑standard. Transporting sawn timber, pulp, and paper rolls requires specialized handling, compliance with international regulations, and multimodal solutions – not parcel shipping. ColliCare offers all the necessary logistics solutions. 

Can you manage large‑scale timber exports to global markets?

Yes. We handle sawn timber, pulp, and paper flows from mills in Norway, Sweden, and Finland to destinations across Europe, Asia, and beyond. Our expertise includes port handling, vessel chartering, and customs clearance.

How do you ensure quality and compliance in forest supply chains?

We provide on‑site inspections, sustainability compliance checks, and performance monitoring. This ensures timber and paper products meet agreed standards, while supporting FSC/PEFC certification and environmental regulations.

Do you offer visibility and performance tracking for industrial shipments

Absolutely. With our eCare platform, customers gain real‑time tracking, predefined KPIs, and detailed reporting. This enables full control of orders, suppliers, and terminals – and supports data‑driven decisions.

How do you minimize downtime for sawmills and paper mills?

We provide SLA‑based spare parts logistics, late cut‑off times, and time‑critical deliveries (InNight, same‑day, next‑day). This ensures mills maintain production without costly interruptions.

Which segments of the forest industry do you serve?

We support sawmills, pulp producers, paper manufacturers, and downstream converters. Our tailored solutions cover everything from raw timber flows to finished paper distribution.
