Sold by the real kilo, delivered before the fire dies.
Lanemi runs your wood and charcoal rounds both ways this trade works: restaurants on weekly standing orders and monthly accounts, households on seasonal deliveries, and every load billed at what the scale said, not what the bundle promised. In your currency, wherever fires burn.
Every buyer in this trade has been short-weighted before.
Wood and charcoal are sold on trust in a trade famous for short loads: the “forty kilo” sack that pours out at thirty-four. Meanwhile the kitchens burn steadily and want trade terms, the households appear only when it is cold, and every far delivery carries half a tonne of cost somebody has to price.
The sack versus the scale.
Loads billed by habit and bundle, not by weight. The difference leaks out of somebody’s pocket every trip.
Kitchens on trust.
The tandoor house takes 200 kilos twice a week and settles monthly, tracked in a notebook that is always a page behind.
The seasonal stampede.
Winter triples the orders in a fortnight, and the woodpile of properly seasoned stock is what it is.
The far drop.
Half a tonne across town for one household order. Say yes and eat the cost, or say no and sound rude.
The scale does the selling. The books do the remembering.
Billed at the scale’s number.
Mark loose wood and charcoal as sold by weight. The order goes in as an estimate, you weigh at loading, and the bill reads the actual kilos. Honest weight, provable in writing, is the strongest pitch this trade has.
Kitchens on standing orders and real accounts.
The tandoor house takes its load every Monday and Thursday on a standing order adjusted from their own login. They run postpaid on a credit account: deliveries post as they land, a statement and one numbered tax invoice close the month, and dues past your terms are flagged.
The season arrives as orders, not chaos.
A pre-winter order is a one-time order against a date; a household that wants monthly top-ups through the cold runs a seasonal subscription they pause in spring. Both land on the same locked daily plan, and a cap on seasoned stock means green wood is never promised as dry.
Distance priced by rule.
Set delivery fees by zone or a minimum order for the far drops, applied automatically at order time. The half-tonne trip across town becomes policy instead of a loss you notice later.
Heavy routes, gate cash, straight books.
Runsheets sequence scattered homes and dock-side kitchens into unloading order with load weights per stop, printed before the truck moves. Gate cash is tracked from the crew to your books with shortages flagged, and online payments land through your own payment account.
Built for a trade that runs on trust and weight.

The wood changes. The trade does not.
Tandoors in one market, pizza ovens and log burners in another, BBQ charcoal in a third. Choose your currency, set your season, and keep your trade permits on file, with a reminder before they lapse.
Built by people who load before sunrise.
Lanemi began on a farm round where the plan had to be exact before the truck was loaded, because heavy work punishes second thoughts. A wood round is that truth at its heaviest, and the locked nightly plan here is built for exactly that.
The things wood and charcoal suppliers ask us first.
Buyers in this trade assume they are being short-weighted. How does this help?
By making the scale the bill. Sold-by-weight products are weighed at loading and billed at that exact figure, and the customer sees it in writing. Honest weight, provable, is the strongest pitch this trade has.
My restaurants want credit and my households pay cash. Can both live together?
Yes, on the same books. Kitchens run postpaid accounts with limits, statements and a numbered tax invoice; households pay cash at the gate or top up online. Nothing gets mixed and nothing gets lost.
Winter triples my orders. Does the system cope?
The rush arrives as one-time orders and seasonal subscriptions against dates, capped by what your woodpile actually holds, and planned into locked daily runs. The season gets busier; the plan stays exact.
Far deliveries eat my margin. What is the fix?
A rule instead of a wince: delivery fees by zone or an order minimum for distant drops, applied automatically at order time.
Half my customers vanish in summer. Is that a problem?
No. Seasonal subscriptions pause in spring and resume in autumn, kept by the customer or by you, and your winter list is intact when the cold comes back.
What stops me overselling my seasoned stock?
A cap. When the dry wood runs low late in the season, the plan sells what is ready and never promises green wood as seasoned.
One good idea for your round, once a week.
Short, practical, and no filler. Leave any time.
