The timber industry is under pressure from global sourcing, fluctuating costs and tightening sustainability expectations, making supply chains more complex and less predictable than ever.At Denholm Good Logistics, we partner with timber importers, distributors, and manufacturers to create connected, data-driven supply chains that bring control, clarity, and cost efficiency to global operations.
The Challenge: Limited Visibility, High Complexity
In a sector where margins are tight and delivery delays can disrupt entire production schedules, many timber businesses face the same issue: a lack of real-time visibility across their supply chain.
Common challenges include:
• No centralised view of shipments, orders, or supplier updates
• Heavy reliance on manual spreadsheets and data entry
• Unclear landed costs, complicating procurement and margin tracking
• Poor container tracking leading to demurrage and detention charges
• Slow communication between logistics, procurement, and operations
Without accurate, live data, it’s difficult to plan confidently, manage costs, or keep customers informed.
The Solution: Connected, Data-Led Supply Chain Management
At Denholm Good Logistics, we help timber businesses move beyond spreadsheets and fragmented data. Our approach combines digital integration, multimodal transport expertise, and proactive logistics management to build visibility from origin to delivery.
Here’s how we do it:

By connecting ERP systems with CargoWise, our global logistics platform, we create seamless data flow between suppliers, freight partners, and internal teams—giving you live tracking, automated alerts, and full transparency on every shipment. - Cost Control & Forecasting
Our automated landed cost tracking gives finance and procurement teams the clarity they need to manage margins, budget accurately, and make informed sourcing decisions. - Customs & Compliance Expertise
