Getting Started with LumberLinq
LumberLinq is a Timber Management System designed for timber exporters, importers, traders, and logistics teams. It centralises tally sheets, consignments, inventory, business partners, and reporting in one place.
Creating a New Company Account
If you’re the first person at your company to use LumberLinq (not joining via a teammate’s invite — see Account, Login & Sign Up for that flow instead), here’s the real step-by-step setup you’ll go through, in order — each step must be finished before the next one unlocks:
- Sign up — go to app.lumberlinq.com/login, press Sign Up in the switch at the top of the card, and enter your name, email, and a password. Check your inbox and click the verification link — this step is required, you can’t skip it. Then log back in.
- Personal Details — a single page (no tabs at this stage) for your own basic info: name, mobile number, country/location, and similar. Later, once you’re fully set up, your profile page grows more sections (notification preferences, account security, etc. — see Account, Login & Sign Up), but you won’t see those yet during this first setup.
- Company Details — one page with three parts: Company Details (company name, tax ID, phone, email, website, legal entity type), Address (country, state, city, address lines), and Operating Profile (industry type, company size, your role). This is a shorter version of the full Company Settings page you’ll use later — see Company Settings for the complete field reference.
- Subscription — pick a plan and choose Monthly or Yearly billing. A free trial option is also available here if you’d rather try LumberLinq before paying.
- Payment — enter your billing address and tax ID, and add a promo code if you have one. If you picked the free trial, this step completes instantly with nothing charged. Otherwise, you’ll complete payment through the card/UPI popup that appears. See Subscriptions & Billing for the full billing picture, including what happens if a trial or subscription lapses.
- Confirmation — a final screen confirming your account is ready.
Once all of this is done, you land in the main app and can start using it — see “Your First Steps” below for what to do next.

Key Concepts
Stock Unit — A truck load, container, or batch of timber that is measured via a tally sheet and tracked through inventory and consignments.
Tally Sheet — The measurement record attached to a Stock Unit. Round tally sheets use Length and Girth; square tally sheets use Width, Thickness, Length, and Pieces.
Consignment — A logistics record that links one or more Stock Units with parties, routing, documents, and payments.
Business Partner — A buyer, seller, exporter, importer, or service party reused across tally sheets, consignments, and reports.
