TallyExpress - the application that wants to be revolutionary lumber tally app – recognizes and counts each wood board individually, calculates their respective widths and computes the total volume in a matter of seconds, with just a photo taken with your Android device.

Using artificial intelligence and sophisticated computer vision algorithms, TallyExpress allows you to measure bundles in a fast and reliable way.

In October 2021, Tally Express reached 1 million measurements done with the app. This crowned a year of very strong usage growth for the product, now used by more than 130 sawmills worldwide.

How it works

Download TallyExpress from Play Store and test it for free!

After you download the app, place the reference on the bundle and take the picture (see video). TallyExpress will automatically detect and count the boards, also computing the volume. Next, the app generates a tally report with a picture. The whole process takes no longer than one minute. 

     

1. Take a picture of the bundle

2. The app detects the boards

3. A tally report with picture is generated

 

TallyExpress sets high standards, achieving a 99% level of accuracy on volume. Any faulty detections can be quickly adjusted. The more you use the app to measure the wood bundles, the smarter the software gets and the more accurate it becomes. 

Your measurements are synced to the TallyExpress web application in the cloud, where you can review the results, make any final adjustments, share by email or export them to your inventory system. The entire process can be done by a single employee, with no other assistance needed.
