Current forest information products and inventory applications do not provide a definitive link between woodland, mill operations and the end-user. Insufficient accuracy and lack of support for decision-making at the operational level result in substantial loss of profitability across the forest products value chain.
 
FiDEX™ is a fibre indexing and planning service for the forest industry that aims to increase client return on investment through the strategic implementation of proven fibre value chain mapping services, tools and expertise. Driven by a need identified by forest product manufacturers for better operational-level information, FiDEX™ delivers a detailed fibre database for operating areas, which includes: species, piece size, and quality information. Through collaboration with leading forest product simulation and optimization software companies, the FiDEX™ system increases the net value of the forest resource through four strategic phases; Blueprint, Intelligence, Merchandize and Optimize. FiDEX™ is serving the forest industry by providing the framework to transform forest fibre from volume-based to be value-based in order to maximize the economic potential of forest resources.
