Tolko is a private, Canadian-owned forest products company based in Vernon, British Columbia that manufactures and markets specialty forest products to world markets. With manufacturing operations across Western Canada, Tolko is a major producer and marketer of lumber, plywood, veneer, oriented strand board, and kraft papers. The company’s Woodlands operations in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba have received third-party certification of their sustainable forest management systems.

The Challenge

Tolko’s sales department needed to keep track of available lumber for sale from various manufacturing facilities throughout Canada. The sales team was using several whiteboards to share information and track sales. An impending office move required the sales team to look for an alternative solution that would be able to store the sales tracking information.

The Solution

After trying another solution unsuccessfully, the sales team came across EditGrid and determined it met their collaboration needs. By using EditGrid, each member of the sales team now easily updates an online spreadsheet that all members of the team can access.

The Result

By utilizing a collaborative tool such as EditGrid, Tolko’s sales team no longer wastes time trying to keep a whiteboard updated. Each team member can easily access the online spreadsheet directly from their desktop, and all have access to the same information in real time.
