Forico, an integrated timber plantation, forest management, and timber export business based in Tasmania, was grappling with the challenge of managing a large-scale forestry operation. The company oversees more than 170,000 hectares of forest in the island state, a task that necessitates the consolidation of vast amounts of data. The existing data management and reporting methods, primarily spreadsheets and other platforms, were proving inadequate for the high volume of information. The company was in dire need of a more streamlined data management and reporting method that could handle the large data volumes, reduce manual errors, and quickly identify data discrepancies.
