Mill2Market ^SM —Weekly Lumber Price Report

Data Collection

Businesses run on facts. Mill2Market shuns opinion, gossip and advice — it simply presents the facts on time and in an easy-to-read, structured format. With market facts you can rely on from a source you can always trust — you can make better decisions faster and with more confidence. Mill2Market:

• Captures all standard dimension order and invoice data from all subscribers to ensure a true measure of market price.
  • Audited data submission precludes manipulation of results.
  • The high volume of data collected minimizes reported price volatility.
• Reports mill realization (from point of origin and at destination) and delivered price at destination, including state, sub-state and U.S. Census business areas.
• Includes prices for a broader list of standard dimensions and lengths.

Participants agree to send actual order and invoicing data. Forest2Market collects the same data for all participants, thereby allowing apples-to-apples comparisons.

Data is collected from both buyers (purchase orders cut and invoices received for payment) and sellers (orders received and invoices sent). This allows Forest2Market to double check each purchase/sale and precludes the possibility of data manipulation. Proprietary matching precludes double counting.

All data is transferred directly from the customer’s order management or accounting system to Forest2Market. There is no need for companies to switch software or to make complicated adjustments to the way they do business.
