The combination of our expertise, knowledge and data come together
in each study to deliver critical insight and information. Our customers call on us when they
want to know:
-
Which sites will provide ample and sustainable supplies of the raw
materials needed for your production processes, as well as access to affordable transporation and
transmission lines? Forest2Market’s proprietary studies can identify and/or evaluate specific
locations, determine the available supply, quantify the amount of raw materials used
by others in the same market, and forecast prices for these raw materials.
-
What local regulations and practices will affect plant design? With
our deep knowledge of local infrastructure, logging, and transportation practices, we recommend
design parameters that will minimize procurement costs.
-
What procurement strategies will best suit your management goals?
Looking at supply and demand fundamentals, Forest2Market can recommend sourcing strategies and help
you design a procurement process.
-
What price should you expect to pay for raw materials? Our unique
online pricing service is used by all major users of wood fiber; companies determine contract
prices and index their supply agreements to our pricing service to guarantee they get the
market rates for their raw materials.
-
How does your procurement strategy align with others that use
the same raw materials? Measure your success and improve your procurement processes by
participating in our benchmark service. Our data contributors receive quarterly reports measuring
their procurement costs against those of other users of the same raw materials in their
area.
We can develop a Proprietary Resource Study specifically for you,
focusing on specific locations, specific types and classes of feedstocks, and/or specific time
frames (including price forecasts). We can run multiple scenarios--best, worst, and most likely--so
you have a broad spectrum view of the issues most pressing for your business.
