Forestry

Out there all alone

Forestry faces a unique set of challenges, not the least of which include, remoteness, logistical variation, equipment tracking and worker safety. Forestry operations benefit greatly when they connect real-time with equipment, workers and contractors to manage their productivity.

Connect real-time to remote equipment, workers and contractors to increase productivity and lower operating costs.

Forestry presents a one of a kind set of logistical challenges. You’re faced with coordinating multiple contractors and moving loading points, varying volumes and all kinds of natural forces, weather included. Distance is your greatest challenge. Where your people and equipment go is often beyond the reaches of standard cellular service.

Do you know where all your equipment, contractors and workers are at any given moment? What’s available and where? You know all too well that better access to equipment diagnostics would assure proper maintenance and repair is conducted when it’s needed and with minimal downtime. What would you gain by receiving daily logs electronically each day and instantly turning them into valuable customer information and billing statements? Or being able to communicate with your people via voice, email, text message or mobile internet all tied into your corporate systems.

Staying connected to your people, assets and information means you can move faster, perform better, reduce costs and compete more effectively. But to do so, you need to be connected in a way that translates all of that information into instant business value.
