One forest map everyone in your enterprise can open.
Your stand data comes out of QGIS, a GeoPackage or the management plan and into one map in the browser — with a dashboard and capture out in the stand that works without reception.
We already look after more than 14,000 ha of forest with EcoForce.
What the sheet contains
Six things your enterprise gets out of one maintained QGIS project.
-
The map in the browser
Compartments, stands, roads and boundaries as an interactive map — rendered from your project file, so species colours, hatching and labels stay the way your enterprise draws them.
-
Stand data, evaluated
Areas, species shares and age classes read straight from the sheet. No second spreadsheet that drifts away from the map.
-
Capture in the stand
Your field staff work on a phone or tablet out in the stand, with no reception needed. What they record syncs as soon as they are back online.
-
Share stands as a link
Pick a few stands and send them as a link — to a contractor, a neighbour or a buyer. They see those stands on the map with their figures, without an account, and the link ends when you revoke it or it runs out.
-
Access for your whole team
Your enterprise gets its own protected map area. Everyone on your team signs in with their own account and sees your forest — nobody else's. We set the accounts up for you.
-
Stored in Germany
Your forest data lives on servers in a data centre in Nuremberg, Germany, and the database and maps are backed up automatically.
Frequently asked questions
What does EcoForce actually do?
We maintain your QGIS project and serve it as a web map with a stand data dashboard. Your team opens a browser instead of a GIS, recording happens out in the stand on a tablet, and selected stands can be shared as a link.
What do you need from us to start?
A QGIS project, a GeoPackage or a shapefile is enough — we also work from an existing management plan. If there is nothing digital yet, we survey the stands on site.
Do we need to know QGIS?
No. The GIS work stays on our side. Your enterprise gets a map and a dashboard in the browser, and field staff record out in the stand on a tablet.
Does our own symbology survive?
Yes. The map is rendered from your project file, so species colours, hatching and labels look the way your enterprise already draws them.
Where is our data stored?
On servers we run in a data centre in Nuremberg, Germany, backed up automatically. Only your enterprise's accounts see your forest — a guest link shows nothing but the stands you picked.
Can we try it before we decide?
Yes. Send us your QGIS project, a GeoPackage or a shapefile and we set up a free trial access with your own forest in it — no obligation, nothing to install.
What does it cost?
It depends on forest area and how much survey work is needed. Send us what you have and you get a fixed quote.
Send us your project. We will show you your forest in it.
