About Us

Headquartered in Seattle, Yesler helps companies in the lumber and building materials industry to improve their supply chain operations, reduce risk, and increase profits.

In 1852, Henry Yesler built Seattle’s first sawmill which became the city’s financial life-blood. Our name honors his legacy. The Yesler sawmill laid the foundation for the next stage of Seattle, and we are now building the Yesler platform as the digital foundation for the next stage of LBM.

Our Story

Yesler is the gateway for the LBM supply chain to unlock potential and improve performance by enhancing the communication, the knowledge and information flow, and the efficiency of operation through software.

Across the LBM industry landscape, there is a desire for simplicity and efficiency to streamline the way the industry does business through the use of new technologies. By harnessing the power of software and data, all aspects of doing business – internal and partner communications, buying and selling, and the management of people and finances – can be conducted with greater efficiency, speed, impact, and in short, better performance.
