Forestry
When the harvester’s running, your data should be too. Kiho is one of the forestry sector’s most trusted systems, especially among logging and timber transport companies.
With Kiho, time tracking, machine management, and real-time data all come together in one app—no matter how many operators you have or what brands of machines you use.
Concrete benefits for the industry
1.
Time and output data quantified
Kiho works seamlessly, no matter what machines you use. Whether you’re running one brand or many, Kiho operates the same way for every operator. That consistency extends to the office too, with all data arriving in a unified format and no need for manual documentation.
Example: An operator logs hours and harvest output directly in the Kiho app. In the office, everything is already formatted correctly—no extra reports, no confusion, and nothing lost in transit.
2.
Real-time site visibility
Real-time time tracking improves both efficiency and safety. Supervisors can instantly see who’s working and how each job is progressing. It also helps make sure that everyone checks out at the end of their shift—especially important for lone workers in remote locations.
Example: If an operator forgets to check out after their shift, management can quickly verify their status and take action if needed—providing peace of mind for teams in the field.
3.
Unified maintenance management, regardless of brand
One system for all machines—no matter the brand. Whether it’s John Deere, Komatsu, Ponsse, or any other make, Kiho lets you manage all machines and their service needs from a single platform. Maintenance schedules, fault reports, and calibrations are logged automatically.
Example: An operator notices a hydraulic leak and submits a fault report through the app. The maintenance team gets an instant alert, orders parts in advance, and schedules the repair—preventing larger issues and reducing unnecessary downtime.
4.
Tax-approved electronic driving log
No more guessing what’s scribbled in the glove box. With Kiho, trip data is automatically recorded, organised, and always up to date—ready for reporting and compliant with tax requirements.
Example: Tax regulations require accurate driving logs for company vehicles. Kiho automatically tracks every movement from the moment the pickup starts its morning shift, removing guesswork and manual logging for both drivers and office staff.

Smoother Forestry Operations with One System That Does It All: Job Dispatching, Fleet Management, and Payroll Data Preparation
Kiho makes forestry operations smoother by uniting time tracking, equipment management, maintenance, and production data in one system—no matter how many different manufacturers’ machines your company runs.
Mixed fleet? No problem. No problem. Every operator uses Kiho the same way, and all data arrives at the office in a consistent format. This not only simplifies admin, but also supports fair, transparent incentive programs—without extra reporting. Maintenance schedules and fault reports are logged directly in the app, keeping machines ready and downtime to a minimum.
Log trucks? Covered too. Kiho includes digital load tickets and remote tachograph readings. For timber transports, load yards, terminal yards, distances driven, wood species, and volumes all record automatically—no more scribbles on sales receipts or messy paper load slips.
With Kiho, every hour worked, kilometer driven, and cubic meter produced is assigned directly to the correct project or stand. Automatic reporting keeps data up to date—for site supervisors, payroll processing, and even the tax authorities.
Integrations automate the process and minimize manual work
Kiho’s open APIs and prebuilt integrations make sure all critical data moves seamlessly between systems without any manual handling. This reduces errors, saves time, and guarantees decisions are always based on the freshest data.
- Time-tracking interface – Automates the transfer of work hours directly into payroll systems (e.g., Mepco, Talenom, Procountor, Netvisor).
- Smart payroll data – Cuts down manual labor by generating fully interpreted payroll files, complete with allowances and overtime.
- BI reporting – Makes all data easy to analyze in tools like Power BI, Tableau, or any other reporting platform.
