As a landowner, you have a legal responsibility to maintain the safety of the trees on your property. OTISS is a low-cost, online system for maintaining the required audit trail of tree safety inspections, for managing remedial works, and for working with arboricultural professionals.

This is a new approach to Tree Survey and Management software that enables you to effectively manage the trees on your land, school, estate, farm, golf course or street trees in urban areas.

OTISS 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.
