Current challenges of the industry

Rising personnel costs, decline in qualified personnel

lead to increased cost pressure and require an efficient way of working both in forestry and in the wood processing industry.

Climate change

with its effects such as storm damage and forest fires, it places high demands on the organisation of emergency forces and navigation in the forest - both during the event and in the subsequent damage management.

Pest infestation and extreme weather conditions

lead to strong fluctuations in supply, which have to be managed by logistics within a short time window.

Optimised route planning increases efficiency

Safe and efficient route guidance in the forest is indispensable, especially for new employees or employees with a supra-regional area of operation, e.g. also in state forestry. A lack of local knowledge is compensated for by the classified forest route navigation.

For timber purchasers and forestry experts, too, planning tours with the forestry navigation map and finding your way around unfamiliar forest areas ensures real optimisation of work organisation.

  • Use of a special forestry navigation map with Navlog data, always up to date
  • Coverage of the non-public road network
  • Adapted to the individual requirements of the industry, such as forest tracks, forest roads and other road types relevant to the industry
  • Consideration of potential danger spots
