Smart forestry with the most extensive forest system in Finland

The versatile Foresta is a tool for forest professionals or large forest owners for forestry and forest resource information management tasks, from forest planning to sustainability reporting. Users are supported by open forest resource information as well as extensive map and geospatial data sets.

The Foresta package can only include the features that are necessary for a small operator, all of the digital tools that a forest professional might need, or something in between. From the Standard package upwards, the package also includes a mobile application that enables users to, for example, update forest compartment data directly from the field just as easily as is done from their desk.

Data flows seamlessly not only between the field application and the main system, but also via interfaces to other information systems of major operators in the industry.

Artificial intelligence as a superpower in forest analytics

Foresta’s geospatial data sets also include several layers that are created with the help of AI analysis. For example, by looking at thinning potential, a company can offer its customers forestry work in a targeted manner at exactly the right moment.

Analyzing the state of health of the trees, on the other hand, helps to detect changes such as insect damage even before they are visible to the naked eye. Up-to-date forest data makes it possible to address problems quickly and target resources where the greatest need is, for example.

Foresta Plus and new generation forestry

Foresta Plus is Foresta’s new environment consisting of a modern user interface and new functions. Several old functions of Foresta have also been updated for the new environment, and it works seamlessly with the older Classic version. The main updates in Foresta Plus are:

  • Calls for tenders for forestry work and lumber trade – organizations that own forests can call for and compare tenders
