We’re driven to solve complex data challenges related to your forest. Some examples of work we regularly complete include:

• Statistical modelling and prediction
• Summary visualization
• Log diet and piece size analysis
• Cycle time determination and assessments
• Operational volume exploration
• Incorporating all data sets (LiDAR, SGM, etc.)
• Biomass and carbon assessments

Bridging the gap between strategic and tactical is something that we excel at. Some of our expertise in this space includes:

• Short-term and mid-term tactical planning
• Modelling with Woodstock and Patchworks
• Road optimization modelling
• Cut block optimization modelling
• Sequence assessments
• Detailed block layer

We want to help you use drone technology to better inform your management decisions without the need for extensive in-house resources.
