The next chapter for PSLog.
The Log Accounting System New Zealand forestry has relied on for years is becoming Logrithm Accounting, designed by the same people and connected to every docket from forest to settlement.
PSLog's story
Built for New Zealand forestry,
now part of Logrithm.
PSLog was launched in the early 2000’s as a New Zealand Forestry log accounting solution. It handles the financial aspect of log harvesting, turning dockets into revenue, costs, invoices and reports. PSLog is used by everyone in the supply chain: forest owners, forest managers, harvesting contractors, transport companies, mills and log traders.
It attained widespread adoption and at present is trusted with more than 60% of the timber volume in New Zealand each year.
Danie du Plessis first worked on PSLog as a developer, later buying and running the business until its acquisition by Logrithm.
Logrithm first partnered with Danie in 2023 with the aim of simplifying the importing of docket records. With the realisation that companies shared the same values and goals, Logrithm acquired PSLog in 2024.
Danie joined the Logrithm team as the product owner for Logrithm Accounting and brings across his deep experience, knowledge of customer workflows and excellence in customer support.

A note from Danie
I'm still here, and PSLog isn't going anywhere!
Danie du Plessis
“Many of you have used PSLog for a long time, and I know how much your month end depends on it. I want you to hear directly from me about what's happening.
For years my goal has been to take PSLog's forestry accounting into a modern web application. Working with Logrithm showed me a better way to do it. Logrithm already had a mature, proven technology platform, the docket data and the team.
Building PSLog's accounting into Logrithm more quickly provides us a modern, secure and user friendly platform and the efficiency that settlement and invoicing can work from the same live information as your operations.
I've been part of PSLog's story as a developer and later as its owner. Now, as part of Logrithm, I'm bringing that experience into its next chapter. Everything PSLog has learned over the years is going into it.
PSLog stays supported, and you can keep using it with confidence. When Logrithm Accounting is ready for your business, we'll talk with you, plan the move together and make sure it's right before anything changes. If you'd like to talk it through, I'm still here.”

Logrithm Accounting
Everything PSLog does, connected from docket to settlement.
A shared language connects operations and accounting. Logrithm Accounting brings PSLog's forestry accounting into the Logrithm platform. The same docket data drives operational and financial transactions, improving data governance and accuracy while reducing manual work and making reporting easier.
Every docket is priced as it arrives, so your financial position is current every day and month end becomes a review, not a rebuild.
A modern, online platform allows for information sharing and collaboration across your workforce and partners.
Dockets become transactions
Each docket is valued for sales, services and owner settlement as soon as it arrives, and recalculated if it's edited.
Contracts and rates in one place
Sales, service and owner contracts with effective dates, production rates and claim rates such as machine hours, man hours and day rates.
BCTIs and customer invoicing
Generate buyer-created tax invoices for contractors and invoices for customers in batches, with an approval step before anything is issued.
Owner settlement and fees
Managed sales, log procurement, charge pass-throughs, deductions and management fees, with clear statements for forest owners.
Problems caught early
Missing rates, unmatched parties and duplicate dockets are flagged as they happen, so they're fixed on the day rather than found at month end.
Shared with the right people
Contractors, owners and customers see their own statements and documents in Logrithm Portal, with permissions and a full audit trail.
