In some Italian regions, such as Piedmont and Trentino, companies in the timber sector have managed to improve their organisation by using online portals – such as LegnoPiemonte and LegnoTrentino – dedicated to buying, selling and showing trends in the price of wood. Companies in the Veneto region are therefore at a competitive disadvantage as they do not have a structured online presence and need to undertake a targeted digitisation process that suits their needs.

IT-FOR Operative Group aims to promote digitisation in forestry and timber processing enterprises. To this end, IT-FOR team is working to develop an innovative digital system which will increase these companies’ competitiveness: a web platform that will help enterprises to manage forestry sites and the marketing and traceability of timber.

Etifor is partner of this project. Our Responsible Management team deal with:

• analysing companies’ needs;
• designing the basic structure of the web platform;
• and the management of data from the timber market.
