As IT Consultant, started with a review of Wescor business methods, and existing system problems, then created an end to end series of four databases with 17 tables to handle all aspects of logging, log yard operations, timber tract profits, and timber sales. This turnkey system reduced lost inventory from $25,000 to $500 per quarter. Relational design allowed checks for duplicate or missing logs, and data entry errors. A profit and loss data report on Timber tracts reported current profits to date. A head down data entry process with an audible alarm on error allowed fast data entry. The process was run by about 250 lines of code. Located and resolved about ten bugs in the external equipment and RDMS software on this project. Provided daily support and rescued systems from a bad batch of hard drives and one loose CPU!This Project was estimated to be one of the best logging data systems available at the time by the CEO. It was great to work with down to earth Forestry graduates and loggers, the business is more intelligent than might be expected.

Number data was imported daily and updated to a 15 table PC database giving McClay a complete report on the 800 calls per week. Voice menu was an unexpected 1000 lines of C code! Dramatic reductions in paper handling labor and six week payment turn around resulted.
