Who we serve

Forestry equipment dealers turn to Tinnacity when paper work orders, lost time, and billing delays are costing them more than the timber is worth.

You're serving logging contractors who operate on tight timber contracts, in terrain that would stop most vehicles, with machines that cost half a million dollars and break down in places no tow truck can reach. Your service operation needs to be as resilient as the people running those machines. Tinnacity was built for exactly that standard.

Built Offline-First

Forestry operations don't happen where there's cell coverage.

Harvesters and forwarders work miles into remote cut blocks where connectivity is zero. Your technicians can't wait for a signal to open a work order, log their time, or document a repair. Tinnacity is built offline-first — every function works without a signal, syncing the moment connectivity is restored. No data loss. No workarounds. No excuses.

No signal required
Harvesters break down three miles into a cut block on a logging road that barely qualifies as a road. Every function works without a signal — open work orders, log time, document repairs — wherever the work actually happens.
Auto-sync when signal returns
Everything captured in the field syncs automatically the moment connectivity is restored — even if that's an hour later back at the landing. No data loss. No manual re-entry. No workarounds.
Offline-first by design
This isn't an "offline mode" patched in after the fact. Tinnacity was architected offline-first from the ground up, because in forestry, no connectivity is the reality — not the exception.

Problems We Solve

Forestry service has problems most software ignores.

Forest Machine Magazine says it plainly: "Forestry is not just a job but a way of life." The people who service this equipment understand that. The companies that build software for it usually don't. Tinnacity does — and it shows in every feature.

01
No connectivity where the work happens
Harvesters don't break down in cell coverage zones. They break down three miles into a cut block on a logging road that barely qualifies as a road. Your technician needs a platform that works without signal — and Tinnacity is the only one built that way from the ground up, not patched in after the fact.
02
Hydraulic and cutting system complexity demands documentation
A harvester head alone has dozens of hydraulic circuits, wear components, and calibration points. Keeping accurate service history on cutting chains, feed rollers, delimbing knives, and saw motors isn't optional — it's the difference between a warranty claim that gets paid and one that gets denied. Tinnacity captures it all.
03
Tight timber contracts mean downtime has a dollar value
Logging contractors operate on timber supply agreements with delivery commitments and stumpage contracts. When a machine goes down and the contractor can't make delivery, there are financial penalties. Every hour your service team saves in dispatch, diagnosis, and repair time directly protects your customer's contract.
04
Multi-OEM fleets with no unified service view
A dealer in the Pacific Northwest might service Ponsse harvesters, Tigercat feller bunchers, John Deere forwarders, and Komatsu skidders — all for the same customer. Each brand has different service intervals, parts systems, and diagnostic approaches. Tinnacity handles all of them in one place, with no brand-specific limitations.
05
Technicians spend more time driving than wrenching
Forestry service territories can span hundreds of miles of logging roads and forest access tracks. Every dispatch decision that isn't optimized wastes fuel, hours, and billable time. Real-time location, digital job briefs, and asset history let techs leave with the right information and the right parts — the first time.
06
Operator training records and safety compliance
Forestry operations fall under OSHA regulations and, increasingly, forest certification schemes like FSC and SFI that require documented equipment maintenance programs. Tinnacity creates a complete, traceable service record for every machine — supporting compliance without adding paperwork burden to your already stretched service team.
07
Billing delays on remote work accumulate fast
When a tech spends a full day at a remote logging site, the work order shouldn't sit on a pile until Friday. Tinnacity's mobile platform closes work orders the moment the job is done — time, parts, photos, and customer signature captured on-site. Same-day billing is the standard, not the exception.
08
Digital traceability from forest to mill
As Forest Machine Magazine notes, digital traceability from harvest to processing is becoming a standard expectation across the industry. Equipment service documentation is part of that chain. Tinnacity's asset-linked work order history creates a traceable maintenance record that supports both operational excellence and certification requirements.
Our Platform

Built for the grit of the forest floor.

Every module in Tinnacity was designed for environments where things are wet, remote, and unpredictable. Your DMS or ERP integrates seamlessly — no replacement required. Your technicians are productive within hours of rollout.

Mobile Service & Dispatch — Offline
Techs receive work orders, start time, complete inspections, capture photos, and submit jobs without any connectivity. Everything syncs automatically when signal returns. Dispatch sees real-time status the moment the tech comes back online — even if that's an hour later at the landing.
Offline ModeAuto-SyncWork OrdersGEO Stamp
Asset Tracking & Service History
QR-tag every harvester, forwarder, and skidder. Complete service history — hydraulic work, head maintenance, chain replacements, calibrations — is tied to that asset and accessible with one scan. When a tech arrives at a breakdown, they have the full history before they open the door.
QR TagsFull HistoryHead MaintenancePM Schedules
Inspection & Compliance Checklists
Build machine-specific checklists for pre-shift inspections, PM services, and return-to-operation sign-offs. Flagged items generate follow-up work orders automatically. Every inspection creates a timestamped, photo-supported record for OSHA compliance, FSC/SFI certification support, and OEM warranty documentation.
Pre-Shift ChecksOSHA-ReadyPhoto Capture
Time Tracking & Billing
Configurable labor and travel rules capture every billable minute — including drive time on logging roads that often exceeds the actual repair time. E-sign time cards, auto rounding, and same-day work order completion mean no revenue leaves the cut block unbilled.

Telematics Integration
Connect Ponsse's OptiControl, John Deere's JDLink, Komatsu's MaxiFleet, or other telematics systems into Tinnacity. Machine hours drive PM scheduling automatically. Fault codes surface as service alerts. Location data routes the nearest available tech — even when that means 45 miles of forest road.

Why Tinnacity

Why forestry equipment dealers choose us.

Forest Machine Magazine is written by loggers for loggers — people who know that forestry is not just a job but a way of life. Tinnacity is built with the same philosophy. We don't adapt generic software to forestry. We build for it.

01
Offline-First. Not Offline-Compatible.
There's a difference between software that has an "offline mode" and software built offline-first. Tinnacity is the latter. Every function — work orders, time capture, photo documentation, inspection checklists, parts requests — works completely without connectivity. Not as a fallback. As the primary design. Because in forestry, that's the reality.
02
100% OEM Agnostic
Forestry dealers carry machines from Ponsse, Tigercat, John Deere, Komatsu, Rottne, Logset, and Cat — often all for the same customer base. Tinnacity handles every brand with equal depth, without additional modules or brand-specific licensing. Your platform grows with your fleet — not against it.
03
Built for the Complexity of Forestry Machines
A harvester head is one of the most complex service items in any equipment industry — multiple hydraulic circuits, wear components, measurement systems, and calibration requirements. Tinnacity's configurable checklists, parts tracking, and asset-linked service history were designed to handle this level of complexity without drowning your technicians in paperwork.
04
Telematics That Bridges Forest to Office
Ponsse's OptiControl, JDLink, Komatsu's MaxiFleet — forestry machines generate rich operational data. Tinnacity connects that data to your service workflow so machine hours trigger PM work orders, fault codes surface as dispatch alerts, and location guides your technicians through the forest road network to the machine that needs them most.
05
Support That Understands the Stakes
When a harvester goes down at the start of a shift and a logging contractor has a timber delivery due by end of week, you need a software partner who picks up the phone. Our customers describe our support as "stunning." That means fast, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in your outcome — not just in closing a ticket.
06
White-Glove Onboarding Around Your Season
We roll out company-wide in an average of three weeks. Technicians are trained and productive within hours. And we schedule implementation around your operation — not ours. Forestry has seasons, and we don't onboard customers in the middle of peak harvest. We've thought through the things you haven't had to worry about yet.
07
Compliance Documentation Without the Overhead
OSHA compliance, FSC/SFI certification support, OEM warranty documentation — forestry operations require more audit-ready service records than most industries. Tinnacity creates that documentation automatically as a byproduct of doing the work. No separate compliance process. No after-the-fact reconstruction. It's there because the tech did the job correctly.

From the field

Life before was too time-consuming — too much searching for paperwork and slower invoicing. We are no longer losing or misplacing paperwork, and having records of how long jobs actually take is a real eye-opener.
