Increasing awareness through responsive workflows

Improve tree growth and forest health monitoring with automated data processing and analysis

Modern forestry organizations are making mobile operations and planning more efficient with GIS. Collecting field and remotely sensed data and analyzing it in near real time using performance dashboards helps leaders model complex workflows, accelerate response times, and reduce costs. Use location technology to manage your forest inventory and resources more precisely while improving quality and customer satisfaction.

  • Update processes for inventory

    Replace the outdated workflows that foresters traditionally use to perform timber cruising, conduct silviculture assessments, and inspect assets with efficient and easy-to-use mobile applications for collecting and recording field measurements and observations.

  • Bring depth to your analysis

    Integrate spatial and business data to better understand current forest conditions and trends while leveraging powerful tools for data exploration and spatially sensitive analytics.

  • Fuse business intelligence into plans

    Revolutionize enterprise decision-making. Empower forest managers across all departments to make more informed decisions using business intelligence workflows with impactful visualizations.

Gain insights through data

Data collection in the field

Use integrated field apps to collect detailed information at the source, often remotely. Enable a combination of form fills, rapid observation collection, and Internet of Things (IoT) sensor data to create a foundation of current field knowledge that improves awareness.
