What It Is

StockWood is a web application for timber cutting scenarios, provided by Motala MediaDesign AB. Its core purpose is to help users choose suitable stock timber lengths based on the lengths required for a construction project, with the goal of minimizing offcuts and waste after cutting. The website notes that the application is still relatively new and currently has no user reviews.

Core Features and Product Capabilities

Based on the main description, StockWood’s primary function is to calculate which “lagerlängder” (stock lengths) should be selected to reduce timber loss. The new version supports calculations for multiple dimensions at the same time, which is more useful for real-world construction or woodworking projects, where material lists often include timber with different cross-sections and lengths. Users can launch the application directly from the website. The official note says it is mainly designed for regular computer screens, so desktop use is likely the best experience.

Pricing, Integrations, and Data Handling

In terms of pricing, the website does not list plans, subscription fees, or payment methods. It only states that users can use StockWood for free until supplier integrations are introduced. As for third-party integrations, there are no live examples at the moment; the site only mentions that suppliers may want to integrate StockWood into their own websites in the future. On data handling, the registered email address is used only to send the login ID. User data and cutting lists are retained for 60 days after the last login and then deleted from the database. This is relatively transparent, but the site does not disclose more complete compliance details such as encryption, access control, backups, or GDPR-related information.

Pros and Cons

The strengths are its focused use case, low barrier to entry, and a clear calculation tool built around the specific problem of reducing timber waste. Support for multi-dimension calculations also improves its practical value. The downsides are its limited enterprise software capabilities: there is no team collaboration, permission management, API, developer documentation, service support tiers, or formal commercial plan information. There are also no user reviews yet, and supplier integration remains more of a future concept than an implemented feature.

Who It’s For and Access from China

StockWood is better suited to individual builders, small construction projects, woodworking hobbyists, or suppliers that want to do an initial validation of timber cutting optimization ideas. Access from China cannot be determined from the available text, and payment methods are not disclosed. If access is unstable, alternatives such as CutList Optimizer, MaxCut, CutList Plus, or local cutting/nesting software may be worth considering.
