As a neutral third party, only Forest2Market can collect and securely disseminate the competitive intelligence you need to make better-informed resource decisions.  Participation in the Delivered Price Benchmark Service allows forest products companies to evaluate their performance against their peers in the same geography, of approximately the same size and consuming the same timber product. 

Use benchmark results to:

• Identify and capitalize on resource procurement cost saving opportunities
• Negotiate best prices (buy or sell)
• Assess facility / individual performance
• Index supply agreements

Introduced in 2006, the Delivered Price Benchmark Service has become the industry standard.  Today, over twenty-five million tons of raw material moves under supply agreements indexed to our service.  Innovative forest product companies supply delivered raw material costs and cost components making our's the only credible benchmark available. 

Paticipants agree to send actual transacted volumes and prices (wood settlements).  Data transfer method and format is the same for all participants resulting in apples-2-apples comparisons.  Data is subject to audit to ensure results are reliable and accurate. 

The Delivered Price Benchmark Service are currently available in two important markets in the United States; the Southern timber market and the Pacific Northwest.  While both the resource and supply chain dynamics are very different between these markets, the need for credible resource procurement benchmarks is the same.
