Sogeti develops mobile app for forest management for Norra Skogsägarna.

Background

Norra skogsägarna needed to support their suppliers with a mobile solution and help them while they are out in the woods. A multi-platform app was much needed for forest management.

Solution

Android and iPhone apps were developed and deployed with integrated maps using Xamarin platform by Sogeti. The app allows entrepreneurs to access missions assigned to them via their mobile device.

It also enables maps support in offline mode. The app captures valuable feedback upon termination of a mission as the user must answer a questionnaire as part of Norra’s quality control.

Benefits

The new application makes it possible for users to access the management plan of the forest via tablet or smartphone and to get detailed information about the area. The GPS coordinator shows the user where he/she is and if there are any important restrictions. The app makes it easier for the entrepreneur to manage their missions. It is available for both Apple and Android devices and can be downloaded for free.
