Madison's Lumber Reporter Moving to SilvaStat360, Forest2Market's Online Delivery PlatformVANCOUVER, British Columbia & CHARLOTTE, N.C., May 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Forest2Market and Madison's announce a partnership formed to bring Madison's Weekly Lumber Report, a North American lumber price reporting service, to SilvaStat360, Forest2Market's online business intelligence platform. The Madison's/Forest2Market partnership combines Madison's lumber price data and market insights with Forest2Market's SilvaStat360 cloud-based interactive delivery platform. Madison's Lumber Reporter subscribers will have fingertip access to historic and current lumber price data that is updated weekly and available on a 24/7/365 basis. "This is a tremendous step forward for Madison's," said Kéta Kosman, Editor of the Reporter. "To meet the challenges they are facing in 2018, operators in the North American lumber industry need more than data; they need less noise and more robust analytics. By moving the Lumber Reporter to SilvaStat360, we have been able to add significant value, both in terms of additional data and usability." "Weekly price data is essential for making operational decisions," said Kosman. "This information help buyers and sellers make decisions about today's transactions. But mill owners, managers and investors need to make longer-term, strategic decisions. By including historical trend data, Madison's Lumber Reporter makes this kind of decision-making possible. The base product will include two years of history, and an additional eight years of data — a length of time that is ideal for forecasting — will also be available." Other features of the new product include:
With an expected launch in July 2018, Madison's and Forest2Market will be demonstrating a beta version of the product and accepting new subscriptions soon.
