State Forest Management Centre

14+ years

Estonia is one of the most forest-rich countries in the world – approximately 2.2 million hectares – that’s half the land area – is covered by forest. Roughly 40% of Estonian forests belong to the Estonian state. These forests are maintained, grown and managed by the State Forest Management Centre (RMK).

Managing the vast amount of different jobs with first and third party contractors via e-mail took too much time and led to avoidable errors, indicating a need for a single platform to handle all related processes.

We created a mobile-first platform that allows workers in the field to plan and order resources straight on the map via a tablet device. The map solution has various layers of different data and information about the resources available to plan out the best and most cost-effective solution for the required task. The platform is deeply integrated into corporate ERP.

The map solution allows personnel to manage and create any kind of resources on the map, on-site and on-the-fly, thus saving time and providing the most up-to-date information for decision-making.
