Forest Information and Planning System - FIPS

How you can get more productivity and higher quality in Forest and Harvesting Management with FIPS - PF Olsen's Enterprise Management System

6 Ways This IT System Will Revolutonise Your Company's Work Processes

  1. All Personnel Management is entered and tracked through the system for maximum efficiency. The personnel management segment of the system can take care of everything from Payroll, to Training, Qualifications, Time Recording and Expense Payments. Timesheets are directly entered preventing unnecessary back-office data punching duplication.
  2. The Job Management section allows your company simple interfacing with your Budgets, Income and Cost Reporting, Client Invoicing and Cost Recording, allowing all your records to be kept up to date and in an easily accessible place for any member of your team to reach.
  3. Accurate Financial Management is vital and can take a lot of your Manager's focus if it isn't systematised. This section of FIPS takes care of all your Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Electronic Payments and Financial Reporting.
  4. Environmental and Health and Safety are critical risk management issues that need robust processes and records. This part of the system allows cost effective integration with FSC requirements, Corrective Action Management, Incident Management, Resource Consents, Audits and FSC Compliance, Performance Monitoring and allows for updating IRIS.
  5. A vital key to Forestry Management is knowing what you have got to work with. The Land Management section of FIPS deals with all this for you with Crop and Yield Analysis, Forest Records, Quality Control and ESRI's ArcGIS.
  6. Finally you need to be able to make sure everything is accounted for from the Harvest and that there is accurate payment to match that. The Harvesting Management section of the program will look after that for you with Docket Recording, Customer Invoicing, Contract Management, Contractor Invoicing, Road Planning/Scheduling/Payment and Transport Management and Order Fulfillment.

Either integrated into your IT system or remotely accessed, FIPS allows comprehensive customisation and interfacing at every point of your business, so that at any one time you can know exactly where your Forest and Harvesting Management business is at!

FIPS is Available Either as an Integrated System or as Separate Stand Alone Modules for the Smaller Enterprise.

"When Selwyn Plantation Board decided to out-source its forest management, proposals were evaluated from service providers around New Zealand.

Kerry EllemPF Olsen was our preferred choice for a number of reasons. Their 36 plus years of broad-based forest management experience gave them credibility and we felt confident that they could deliver. In our dealings with PF Olsen we found them highly professional and credible. They were able to offer a comprehensive management service and clearly kept abreast of innovation and advances in research through their support of, and involvement in, collective research and lobby groups. We liked their investment in management systems and strong disciplines in areas such as GIS, stand record management and forest modeling. We also needed a manager who didn't have conflicts of interest such as log trading or contracting and PF Olsen stacked up very well in terms of its independence"

Kerry Ellem

former CEO, Selwyn Plantation Board Limited

"Viking Timber Management NZ Ltd (VTM) was responsible for clients investment in 60,000 hectares of prime forest estate in the Central North Island.

John Galbraith"As a major client of PF Olsen, VTM was impressed with PF Olsen's FIPS management system and its ability to respond quickly to new demands for information, data processsing and reports. PF Olsen's existing and developmental capability in forest management IT systems was a significant factor in the selection of PF Olsen for the current management contract"

John Galbraith
former General Manager of VTM and Registered Forestry Consultant.

"Timberlands Limited's investment in the development of the WoodTrack and Stocks modules of FIPS has produced an effective tool for transacting data for large scale harvesting operations.

"Users are able to readily process and price thousands of dockets per month using modules for docket book management, docket data processing, pricing and invoicing. Working closely with the software developers, Integral Limited, Timberlands Limited has been able to design and deploy new functionality to reflect changes in its business.

"As Timberlands Limited has acquired new clients, new instances of FIPS have been rapidly deployed."

Wayne Derrick
Joint Managing Director
Timberlands Limited

"We have been using PF Olsen's FIPS-WoodTrack for several years and have found it an excellent package.

Graeme Kilgour "In particular, we like its reporting features and we feel confident that we have top notch records for accounting and tax purposes - this is important for audit and Board responsibility. We also like the fact that all data is backed-up and PF Olsen has a leading-edge disaster recovery process."
