About Forester

Inventory

Be clear and confident about the location and nature of your assets

Forester is equipped with powerful and intuitive editing tools that enable the rapid and accurate capture of inventory or asset data, quality assured at the point of entry.

You decide the features and attributes you would like to capture. Whether it is about forestry inventory, civil engineering or land management planning, or recreation, conservation  and heritage features, through to legal holding and land transactions. 

Planning

Plan for the future by adding value to your inventory and other data 

Forester can be used for planning and modelling by enabling you to create forest and land management plans and then ‘grow forward’ the underlying inventory to assess the impact of such plans on a wide range of economic, environmental and social services at any defined point in the future.

Operations

Meet your legal obligations for health and safety and requirements under environmental legislation 

Forester helps you to convey critical information to staff and contractors undertaking land management activities. It ensures the standardised presentation of maps detailing comprehensive site information and constraints and hazards and facilitates task management activities such as inspections and maintenance covering a wide range of business areas.

Reporting

Demonstrate the sustainability of your forest and woodland management activities by customised reporting, dashboards and standardised mapping 

Forester can automatically generate a wide range of standard and customised reports for use internally or to provide customers and interested parties. It delivers high-quality map production in a standardised but flexible and configurable way in order to meet the mapping requirements for any type of data layer.
