W.I.V in Practice: Digital Forest Management at Its Best
Published on: September 9, 2026Slide to view all media
In our own forest operation at die INGS GmbH, we rely on W.I.V daily to streamline complex forestry projects. Our latest initiative perfectly demonstrates why clear digital workflows are essential in modern forestry.
The Challenge: A mixed harvest operation combining felling, traffic safety measures, and thinning due to ash dieback disease—all requiring meticulous coordination across multiple stakeholders.
How W.I.V Delivers:
- Unified Project Management: One measure, three customers, three orders—cleanly separated by land parcel
- Transparent Resource Allocation: Machine hours, forestry worker hours, and safety post hours directly assigned to each order
- Flexible Billing Options: Choose between hourly rates or per-cubic-meter billing
- Pre-Planning Precision: Road closures, cycling paths, and streets can be planned before any cutting begins
- GPS-Enabled Accuracy: Trees and measures are uniquely located via RTK/GPS technology
- Full Traceability: Wood volume, hours worked, and performance metrics are traceable from site to invoice
W.I.V wasn't designed in an office—it evolved from the real demands of our own forestry operations. Every feature solves an actual problem we faced in the field.
