We help forest owners and municipalities understand and manage the full value of their forests — timber, carbon storage, biodiversity, non-timber resources and ecosystem services — in one data-driven platform. Sober. Transparent. Built for Norwegian forests.

The platform connects data from over 25 national geodata sources, calculates resource accounts in three layers (potential, actual and risk-adjusted) and translates the results into tangible ecosystem services.
Think of it as forest management plan 2.0: always up to date, with built-in carbon accounting across four pools, nature assessment based on research and practical forestry experience, and an overview of all the services your forest provides — without reading a hundred pages.
Each axis measures the degree to which the forest owner optimises for that resource — not just how much exists. Young, well-tended forest scores high because it is on track. Risk is not a separate axis but embedded in each resource: windthrow reduces timber value but can increase nature value.
Realisable harvest value. Maturity factor, assortment analysis, quality bonus for slow-grown timber. SSB market prices.
CO₂ storage in four pools: living biomass, soil carbon (3–4× biomass), dead wood and peatland. IPCC Tier 2, Norwegian field research and management experience.
Ecological sensitivity: natural forest index with six components. Dead wood in m³/ha from field studies and forestry practice. Disturbance can increase nature value.
Hunting, grazing, recreation, berries and mushrooms, water resources, landscape aesthetics and tourism. Six components with adjusted weighted sum.
Physical operability: slope × moisture matrix, road distance, erosion risk. Missing terrain data = "not assessed".
Room to manoeuvre: PEFC requirements, wilderness areas, protected zones, zoning plans. Nine specific checkpoints.
The platform is not just a measurement tool. It takes you through the full loop: from resource analysis via management recommendations and planning to implementation and verification — then updates the scoring, so you always see the effect of what you do.
The radar diagram shows an example property with mixed forest. Three polygons: outermost is potential, middle is actual gross, and innermost is risk-adjusted net. The red zone is risk exposure; the green zone on the nature axis shows that disturbance can increase nature value.
View your property with thematic maps across all six axes — from pixel (16×16m) to property level. Checkbox-based map layers with full traceability from data point to score.
IPCC-based CO₂ calculation across living biomass, soil carbon (3–4× biomass), dead wood and peatland. Clear-cut consequence: 7–22% soil carbon loss. Based on Norwegian field research, NINA 2020 and practical management experience.
Digital measurement, reporting and verification from stand data via verification to certified credit. Prepared for CRCF IFM methodology. In collaboration with ForestSync.
Artificial intelligence orchestrates the data and explains. The platform calculates, the user decides. No black boxes — full traceability with ✓ published source and ⚠ internal model.
Natural forest index with six components, calibrated against Norwegian field research and forestry practice: 3× more dead wood in natural forest, double bilberry cover, natural bark beetle regulation. Red-listed species found almost exclusively in natural forest.
Hunting and wildlife habitat, grazing, recreation, berries and mushrooms, water resources, landscape aesthetics. Six components with data from pixels, WMS services and user-registered values.
Most of the carbon stored in Norwegian forests lies below ground. Soil carbon typically accounts for 60–70% of the total — three to four times more than in the trees themselves. Peatland is an additional carbon reservoir: just 50 daa of peatland can store as much CO₂ as 150 daa of productive forest.
The platform translates resource scores into ecosystem services following TEEB/IPBES categories — relevant both for forest owners who want to understand the full value of their property, and municipalities that need decision support for spatial planning and climate adaptation.
For the forest owner: "Your forest provides 13 services and stores on average 630 tonnes of CO₂ per hectare — most of it in the soil." For the municipality: "This property contributes flood mitigation, water purification and carbon storage to the local community."
SkogIT leads the consortium application "The Digital Forest Twin" for Green Platform 2026 — Norway's largest programme for green transition. The project brings together the forestry industry, research institutions, practical management expertise and the public sector in a three-year effort to make Norwegian forest management data-driven, climate-adapted and transparent.
The goal is an open platform infrastructure that connects forest biophysics with the market for carbon and bio-credits. The platform builds traceable dMRV (digital measurement, reporting, verification) that meets upcoming EU requirements under CRCF, EUDR and the EU Taxonomy.
In collaboration with ForestSync, the platform's calculation engine connects to the carbon market — from stand-level data via verification to certified credits. Two pilots: Våler municipality (rural) and Nordmarka/Oslo (urban, continuous cover forestry). The ambition is that sustainable forest management should not only be right — it should also pay.
We are always open for conversations with forest owners, municipal advisors, researchers and investors who are committed to sustainable forest management, ecosystem services and green value creation.
