What we offer
We can offer a one-stop shop for map data, survey hardware, data capture, mapping and management software. Our aim is to provide high quality, professional systems that are straightforward to use, affordable and that meet the needs to those in private practice as well as large organisations.
We supply data capture devices and software that are easy to use and help you get the job done quicker. Tree locations can be plotted manually or using GPS. The tree survey details are entered via a simple form, we use drop down menus or pick lists where appropriate, for example selecting species, as this makes data capture faster and more accurate. There are also comment boxes so you have flexibility to add your own notes.
Plotting the results of a BS 5837 survey couldn’t be easier. When the data has been uploaded from a handheld device it can be imported into PT-Mapper Pro which will automatically plot the crown spread to the 4 cardinal points, the root protection area and a basic shading arc.
PT-Mapper Pro is a versatile map editing package which makes it an ideal tool for woodland and forestry management. The clipping tool makes it easy to divide up compartments and allow you to separately identify sub-compartments on the map. You can import and export Shape (SHP) files – This feature allows you to exchange boundary data with the Forestry Commission and other organisations.
Maps can be transferred to mobile devices for efficient onsite data capture.
MapLink enables you to link records to the map and colour code compartments according to values in your data.
TreeMinder is a database that lets you record quickly and easily the results of general tree management surveys and arboricultural surveys that need to comply with BS 5837:2012.

What others are saying
"Using PT Mapper Pro has sped up the plotting process considerably, and it is now an invaluable tool for me. The time saved with plotting has more than covered the investment and I would be lost without it. It is a reliable piece of equipment for me, and helps to ensure that the plans in each report look as professional as the text and survey data."
