Digitalized forestry at Nortømmer with FeltGIS
Apr 1, 2024
Effective and Sustainable Forestry Management
From its headquarters in Elverum, Nortømmer operates throughout the country, assisting forest owners with everything from planning to execution of forestry operations. To ensure full control and overview of everything that happens before, during, and after logging, Nortømmer has adopted a digital platform that optimizes the work. The solution is FeltGIS.
The Challenge
Previously, Nortømmer relied on paper-based reporting from the logging sites, which made it challenging to have a complete overview of progress and quality. This often led to delays and less accurate documentation.
The Solution
FeltGIS digitizes all production documentation from logging machines, contractors, and timber haulers. The information is transmitted directly to the headquarters in real time, providing Nortømmer with improved oversight and accuracy at all levels.
“FeltGIS has digitized the return documentation from the logging machines, contractors, and timber haulers. The system gives us full control over where work has been done, what considerations have been made, and how the assignment has generally proceeded. We have up-to-date documentation on progress and quality at all times,” says Christopher Rolsdorph, COO of Nortømmer.
“FeltGIS has professionalized the digital data flow from the forest back to our core systems. It has simplified daily life for both us and our customers.”

The Result
Nortømmer now has a more efficient and predictable workflow. The digitization of work instructions and self-checks speeds up the start of projects while making reporting easier.
“We currently operate with significantly greater certainty in our projects, and that is thanks to FeltGIS. The predictability it provides us and our customers is extremely valuable,” continues Rolsdorph.
Agile Implementation and Solution-Oriented Collaboration
The system has been implemented in an agile manner, with continuous development to ensure optimal operation in forestry management.
Easier Operations
“FeltGIS is technologically forward-thinking and incredibly solution-oriented. They have been easy to work with from day one, and their close proximity has been a great advantage for us in daily operations,” says Rolsdorph.
Nortømmer now has better oversight, improved reporting, and a more efficient everyday life – all of which make it easier to conduct forestry operations effectively.
“This is a system that simplifies daily life for those in the field, us in the office, and ultimately the customer. FeltGIS simply makes it easier to conduct forestry operations in Norway,” concludes Rolsdroph.
