Forest Certification

Demonstrating and maintaining forest certification requires detailed recordkeeping.  With plans, activities and inspections all in one place – accessible anywhere through a map –  audits and compliance are a breeze.

Operating sustainably or being certified while also being profitable is complicated but essential in today’s business climate.  Balancing it all without a digital strategy is labor intensive and risky. 

We specialize in implementing and operating solutions which balance your financial and program objectives with constraints.  The following are just a few examples of how we support organizations with a digital strategy for sustainability and certification programs:   

  • See all key metrics of a program in real time from wherever work is being done: the truck, the office or in the woods. 
  • Enter inspections from a map once in the field, use the results everywhere.
  • Report and analyze inspections by any dimension of operations such as ownership, producer, management unit, operating area, staff, tract or annual plan.  
  • Report plan performance and isolate risks from inspections such as remediations or incomplete work.  
  • See real-time status of inspections due, incomplete or ready for close out. 
  • Annual auditing maps, reports and workflows.
  • Enable organizations to remain focused on core business and program success without having to become technology experts.
