Bring your data to life

Our solutions enable better decisions, supporting more accurate analysis with less errors and fewer ground plot samples, and can be visualized using any standard GIS based viewer. 

Our approach to data and advanced analytics produces detailed and accurate inventories across a range of forest, natural resources and environmental assets. Better visibility about what values exist, and where they are located on-the-ground. 

HRIS integrates AI-based, machine learning and advanced analytics with Enhanced Forest Inventory (EFI) and Individual Tree Inventory (ITI) capabilities.

Our unique and transparent approach to data aggregation and analytics empowers our clients to discover hidden and sustainable opportunities and realize new value from their forestry and natural resource assets.

HRIS solutions are accurate, flexible and fully scalable… from small woodlands to extensive forest and natural resource landscapes covering millions of acres and hectares.

On average, HRIS provides a 66% increase in predictive accuracy (three times more accurate).

Seeing is believing

Across several global markets, we offer a more accurate, scalable, timely and cost-effective high resolution inventory solution. Our AI-based machine learning inventory solutions are versatile, and can support multiple data sources and applications. We also provide flexible solutions to visualize and continually update your forest and natural resource inventories. 

HRIS, SIMPLY BETTER

Use your inventory to better manage forest and landscape planning, harvest scheduling, ecosystem services, support carbon markets and other applications

“We produce a more accurate, scalable and consistent inventory in significantly less time and cost …when compared to conventional inventories.

Our focus is on delivering the best forest and natural resource inventory solutions available in the world.”

CONVENTIONAL FOREST INVENTORY DOESN’T CUT IT

Unreliable and not scalable

Most inventories rely on low resolution imagery, broad extrapolations from ground sample plots, and are not timely or accurate.

A new generation of approaches and solutions are now available to better manage your forest and natural resource assets. 

Inventories are evolving from labour intensive, manual and analog systems with broad-brush prescriptions to smarter, automated, machine learning, intelligence-based inventory solutions that feed supply chains using high resolution inventory data and precise prescriptions.

THE BEST INVENTORY

Your best choice

HRIS offers a more accurate, scalable and consistent forest and natural resource inventory.

Our advanced fully-scalable vector-based technology solutions use LiDAR, CIR, multispectral satellite imagery, ground plot and other data as inputs.

HRIS reduces the time and money spent on timber cruising and ground plots, harvest planning, market and log forecasts. 

HRIS solutions can support multiple data sources and applications.

Our solutions are versatile, and are based on our client’s vision and needs. We can also provide a select version of HRIS in cases where clients have less access to data.
