Procurement

A Map-Based Planning Application for Forestry Procurement Teams

Procurement Can Reduce or Stop:

Manual planning across disconnected maps and spreadsheets. 

Lost field knowledge between procurement, planning, harvesting, and transport teams. 

Delays caused by missing site details, unclear instructions, or incomplete authority submissions. 

Plan Forestry Actions Directly on the Map 

Plan Forestry Actions Directly on the Map

Create new procurement targets by drawing areas directly on the map. Procurement identifies the estate, connects the area to supplier information in VACS, and allows teams to document the action, volume, access routes, timber landing, and field considerations from one place.

Centralize Site Data, Instructions, and Considerations 

Centralize Site Data, Instructions, and Considerations 

Capture the details before work begins, including machine routes, timber landing locations, notes, habitat considerations, protected areas, and site-specific instructions. These details can be used to support planning, field execution, and downstream systems such as LogDrive.

Connect Procurement Planning to VACS 

Connect Procurement Planning to VACS 

Procurement integrates with VACS so important site, supplier, and planning information can be made available for contract planning and follow-on workflows. Track specifications, PDFs, georeferenced images, and other planning documents can be passed into VACS planning and forwarded to the next system.

Plan With the Right Map Layers 

Procurement gives users access to configurable map layers, including aerial imagery, estate borders, forestry plans, and customer-specific layers. Teams can enable or disable the layers they need for the task at hand, helping wood buyers understand site conditions before field work begins.

 

Support Field Teams With Better Instructions 

Generate practical field outputs such as route markings, timber landing points, map prints, georeferenced images, and shapefiles. These documents help machine operators and downstream teams understand where to work, how to access the site, and what considerations matter before harvest begins.

Identify Where You Can Cut, Where You Shouldn’t, and How to Move Timber Out 

Procurement helps forestry teams evaluate accessible sites, identify areas that may not be suitable for cutting, plan transport routes, and prepare the necessary applications or notifications. As described in the product overview, this is central to the purpose of Procurement.
