Bluedog Software, a family-owned business, located in the Macedon Ranges has developed Bark, a cloud-ready software package specifically built to help the timber industry streamline systems and processes, from the mill floor to the boardroom. Source: Timberbiz
Bark has been built from the ground up, incorporating cutting edge technologies such as vision scanning, machine learning and integrates with Microsoft’s virtual personal assistant, Cortana.
The aim is for Bark to assist the timber industry in working more efficiently, with less waste and higher profit margins.
Bluedog Software has proved its commitment to helping the industry remain sustainable by donating a portion of each sale to reforestation schemes.

Lead Software Developer, Chris Kalle, who worked in the timber industry as a teenager, has a keen interest in Machine Learning and its real world applications.
Mr Kalle says his goal when creating Bark was to build an intuitive, user-friendly product that frees up time to get on with the important jobs. It allows staff to be mobile and have business critical data in real time.’
Bluedog Software is offering Australian sawmills and timber merchants the opportunity to participate in a pre-release program, with registrations closing on June 30.
Program participants will have the opportunity to help shape future releases of Bark by requesting features and giving feedback, as well as significant savings for those who take part.
