The Arboricultural Consultants’ job of surveying trees, collecting data and preparing reports is made more efficient and cost effective when using the mobile Tree Survey (Android) application and OTISS’s online maps and reporting facilities. OTISS also enhances the range of services that consultants can offer to their clients.

OTISS is a new approach to Tree Survey software. It is built around the use of smart phones and tablets (with GPS, 3G, WiFi, cameras, etc), which sync their maps and inspection data to/from the secure OTISS website/database on the Internet. The website is then used to view, update and process the survey data, and to generate reports. All survey data can be downloaded in a variety of formats to integrate with your existing systems.

Key benefits include:

• You have access to online maps for on-site surveying and data entry.
• The Tree Survey Android application on your GPS enabled mobile phone or tablet integrates with OTISS to allow you to carry out on-site surveys. When re-surveying, the previous inspection details are all visible.
• PDF Reports (with your logo) can be created containing coloured charts, graphs and tables. These can be used to augment your own reports. All the inspection data can be downloaded as an Excel spreadsheet for further detailed analyse or customised reporting.
• High quality maps and printouts can be prepared using your own CAD application to combine your maps and site plans with the CAD/DXF files (provided by OTISS).
• OTISS may also help you to retain existing customers for future contracts. You can provide your clients with online access to the maps, data and reports. Your clients see your logo on all webpages and reports.
• OTISS is a shared repository of on-line maps and data that is used within your organisation and your associates. Under your control, they have access to view and update the data as required.
• Always online! Instant access to online maps and data from anywhere, at any time.
• All information is accessed from a secure website, with authorisation controls and guaranteed backup procedures.
• OTISS has an increasing range of features, survey types and platforms.

Being on-line brings many opportunities and for sharing reports, maps and survey data with your clients; and for collaborating with other arboricultural professionals. This is an online service, there is no software to install or maintain on your PCs. Users pay an annual subscription for the use of the system.
