One system for logs, veneer, glue, press loads, bond tests and graded pallets.
Manage plywood production from log yard to dealer dispatch in one system. Each log lot, veneer load, glue batch and press load is recorded with its quantities, and each pallet of finished sheets links back to them. Every department from the yard to dispatch reads the same lot numbers, so low recovery or a failed bond can be followed to its cause.
- Timber species, girth bands, panel thicknesses and grade names entered the way your mill and buyers say them
- Unfilled dealer orders and the pallets waiting in the yard are brought across from your registers
- Grading rules and bond test fields are reshaped by our team whenever your mill changes them
GullySystem supplies Plywood Manufacturer Management Software that follows logs through peeling, drying, gluing, pressing and grading. Each log lot, dryer load, glue batch and press load is recorded, and bond test results link to the sheets they cover. Pallets are built by grade and thickness, allocated to dealer orders and dispatched with the invoice kept beside them.
What goes wrong before the software.
How the work flows through it, step by step.
- 1
Log intake
Logs arrive by weight or volume with species, supplier and girth class. They are lotted in the yard and soaked or steamed ahead of peeling.
- 2
Peeling and clipping
The lathe peels logs lot by lot into a ribbon, which is clipped to size. Output by thickness, core and bark waste are recorded against the lot.
- 3
Drying and grading
Veneer goes through the dryer in numbered loads. Moisture on exit is noted, and sheets are graded as face, core or reject.
- 4
Glue and layup
Glue is mixed by batch and spread. Layers are laid up in the order the sheet requires, with the batch and operator noted.
- 5
Pressing and finishing
Layups are pressed cold and hot in logged loads, then trimmed, sanded and graded by class and thickness.
- 6
Testing and dispatch
Bond samples are boiled or soaked and results are entered. Passing sheets are palletised, allocated to dealer orders and loaded with the invoice.
What is inside.
Every module can be switched on, left out or changed to match how your team already works.
The business modules it is built from.
Each one is also available on its own, or inside a system built for you.
- Batch and Serial Tracking
Every layup links to a glue batch, and every press load carries platen, pressure, temperature and time, so a sheet can be traced back.
- Quality Control
Boil or soak results and thickness readings are entered against the press load, and a pallet is held when a sample fails.
- Production Planning
Log lots are planned onto the lathe by girth class, and the veneer they give is compared with what was expected for the sheet orders.
- Stock Tracking and Alerts
Face, core and reject veneer are held by thickness and grade, with low-stock alerts for the grades that layup needs.
- Bill of Materials
Each sheet type lists its veneer layers, resin, hardener and filler, so a glue mix and a layup draw from the same recipe.
- Goods Receipt (GRN)
Logs are received by weight or volume with species, supplier and girth class, and stored against a lot number.
- Order Management
Dealer orders by thickness and class are confirmed, allocated to pallets and followed through dispatch, return and credit.
- Warehouse Management
Pallets are stored by class, thickness and bay, and a loading list is drawn from them so the right pallets reach the right dealer.
How we would put it in.
Setup, data migration, integrations and anything built on top.
One system, each person sees their part.
For owners
Compare log cost with veneer recovery by lot, see sheets by grade, and read dealer dues beside pallet stock.
For the yard and lathe crew
Receive logs, record lots, log ribbon and clipped veneer output, and see waste by lot.
For the dryer, glue and press teams
Number loads, record glue batches, press settings and bond samples, and flag failures.
For grading and dispatch
Grade sheets, build pallets by class and thickness, and load them against dealer orders.
For accounts
Raise invoices from dispatch and handle returns with credit notes tied to a pallet.
The numbers the owner asks for.
- Recovery of dry veneer per log lot and species
- Dryer loads by exit moisture and reject share
- Glue batches against press loads and test results
- Sheets by class and thickness per day
- Bond test failures by press load, glue batch and shift
- Pallets dispatched and returned by dealer
- Waste by type and use per day
Who this is built for.
- Mills that peel logs and press plywood sheets
- Plants that produce blockboard and decorative panels from purchased veneer
- Makers of marine, shuttering and interior-grade plywood
- Factories running their own dryer, glue room and hot presses
- Mills that sell through dealers on thickness and class
When it is not the right choice.
- A trader who only buys and sells plywood will find Plywood and Timber Dealers pages closer.
- A carpenter who cuts sheets to size for furniture jobs will find Cabinet Manufacturer Management Software closer.

Questions owners ask before a demo.
Does it show recovery for each log lot?
Yes. A lot carries logs received, veneer produced by thickness and waste weighed. Recovery is read for the lot, the species and the supplier.
Can bond test failures be traced?
Yes. A failed sample opens the press load and the glue batch. It then shows which sheets and pallets came from that load, so a hold can be placed.
Does it connect to the weighbridge?
A weighbridge slip can be entered or imported, depending on the make. Direct connection is reviewed in the first workshop.
How are mixed-grade pallets avoided?
A pallet takes one grade, thickness and size. Loading against a dealer order checks the pallet before it leaves, and a mismatch stops the dispatch.
Can we keep the dryer log inside the system?
Yes. Each dryer load is numbered with its moisture on exit and the veneer it produced. Redrying is logged as a new pass on the same load.
What does a glue record hold?
Each glue batch holds resin, hardener and filler weights, the operator and the press loads that consumed it.
Can returns and credit notes be linked to a pallet?
Yes. A return is entered against the pallet and the dispatch. The credit note refers to it, and the reason stays on the pallet’s history.
What does a demo show?
One log lot taken from yard receipt to a loaded pallet, with a failed bond sample as an example. A written proposal follows with the terms.
What can be exported?
Lots, loads, glue batches, test results, pallets and invoices can be exported. The formats are listed in the quotation.
