Who They Are

Sanville Logging is a second-generation logging contractor based in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. With a reputation for dependability, safety, and high-volume output, they manage multiple crews and job sites at any given time. Sanville works closely with large landowners like Lyme Timber and has earned a name in the industry for getting wood moved efficiently and doing things the right way in the woods.They were introduced to Waldo during the Hanford Project rollout. After seeing how well it worked for one crew, they decided to roll it out across their entire operation.

What Wasn’t Working

• Paper tickets that got lost, delayed, or misread
• Crews didn’t always know the right mill or specs
• Office staff burned hours tracking loads and fixing mistakes
• No clear way to prove what was hauled and when

"We were wasting time chasing tickets and making phone calls we shouldn't have to make."

‍

What Waldo Fixed

• Digital trip tickets scanned by crews in the woods
• Real-time updates on mill destinations and specs
• Instant access for landowners, foresters, truckers, and admins
• Fewer mistakes, faster reconciliation, and better transparency

"Our foreman didn’t know a mill had changed — now we have editable sort sheets right in Waldo so everyone’s on the same page."

‍

What Loggers Liked

• Easy to train on (even without perfect cell service)
• You can search by job, date, crew, and destination
• Cut, skid, and haul teams all synced up
• Tickets don’t get stuck under the truck seat
• Waldo was built offline-first — it works in the woods even when signal doesn’t

"Even the little fixes like crew dropdowns getting stuck were solved fast. They listen."

‍

The Bottom Line

Waldo helped Sanville Logging run cleaner, faster jobs. If you’re hauling for landowners like Lyme Timber or managing multiple crews, Waldo puts your whole operation in one place
