Looking for an app that would allow us to quickly count logs in stacks, we tried a couple but found Timbeter to be the best and easiest to use.

Due to the fast paced packing now in our operation our admin staff use the app to take pictures and check log count already packed in containers.
What were your main doubts about Timbeter and how did you overcome these?
All about learning what the app can do, once procedure is understood then works perfect, back up from Timbeter staff was great.
How did the workers perceive the innovation implementation? And how did the transition from a manual method go?
Workers in the field found it hard to use in the process due to the time frame allowed, admin staff on the other hand have found it much easier, quicker and more accurate than process used prior to having Timbeter.
