The Web GIS for Forestry Solution Helps Meet Today’s Information Demands Through a Single Version of the Truth for Forest Assets.

Using the Wrong Technology Impacts your Operations.

Technology pieces and parts from different vendors cannot function as a whole, making information delivery slow, complex and unreliable.
Staff don’t adopt difficult to use tech, causing vital reporting data to get missed.
Maintenance and operation of pieces and parts tech impacts other important work.
Disparate technologies without a common architecture don’t easily integrate.
The wrong technology costs operations by consuming staff time, limiting innovation, growth and the need for focus on core forestry strengths.

Are you handing the same information multiple times in different systems and need a better way?
Is your business experiencing increasing demand for information?
Is it taking too long to get answers and generate information based deliverables?
Is there a feeling that important work is slipping through the cracks?
Does your organization have technical staff near retirement with no one to replace them?
Is there a need to do more with the same number of staff?

“Single Point Data Entry” allowing data to be entered once and turned into usable information for everyone in real time.

Mobile maps, imagery and offline editing.

End to end (field to office and back) workflows for business areas such as inventory and sustainability monitoring.

Map, report and analyze expenses, revenue, plans, cutting activity and inventory in real time from anywhere.

Automated workloads reduce error, speed up critical operations and eliminate double entry and file handling typical of legacy technologies.
All components are maintained in global computing platforms to be up to date, operate disruption and function for the long term.
Minimal dependencies on local hardware like PCs allows for easier updates, troubleshooting and maintenance.
Depth of data governance and standards across architecture components and data assets.
Rather than one way in and out for data, here one version of your data is open to all device types, the web and desktop.
On a per acre basis more economical than custom software and other solutions on the market.
Rather than a one size fits all application, configure your own apps, maps and reports around a Single Version of the Truth.

Eliminate handling the same information in multiple systems.
Science-based inventory methods which are defensible, repeatable and centrally managed.
Reduction of lost time from one up to date version of tracts, stands, inventory and treatments accessible from wherever work is being done.
More consistent, defensible answers to operational questions which come up every day.
Automatted answers for each level of the organization without having to wait for an analyst.

Simplify and eliminate the need to shuffle around shapefiles between systems. Prism creates cruise grids in up to date stands in the Web GIS: recently planted (survival cruise), thinned (post thin cruise) or on deck for a harvest (pre-sale cruise).
More accurate timber estimations by implementing improvements from field methods to equations.
A single source for inventory program methods: cruise types, data collection methods and product specifications.
Flexibility to support all cruise types on owned assets, stumpage, or acquisitions from a single solution.
