Assisi Software

What Assisi Software does

Assisi Software Corp is a US-based, founder-owned private corporation that has developed and maintained forest management software for over 25 years since its 1998 founding. The company serves forestry professionals ranging from independent consulting foresters to large organizations managing millions of acres, providing a tiered desktop product suite that covers the full workflow from field data collection through long-term harvest and cash-flow planning.

The product architecture is a .NET-based desktop application built on a SQL Server database, with C# scripting capabilities and EF Core database access. The suite progresses from Assisi Cruiser (an Android field survey app) to Assisi Compiler, Assisi Inventory, Assisi Forest (the flagship planning suite), and Assisi Enterprise (which adds Operations, Scripting & Automation, Customization, and Multi-User Database). A distinguishing technical feature is the integration of multiple industry-standard forestry growth models — ORGANON, FVS, CAGYM, and ACADIA — organized into calibrations that allow region-specific equation sets, alongside a programmable architecture that lets customers code complex workflows in C# or invoke Assisi from external Visual Studio projects.

Assisi operates a subscription licensing model with annual maintenance and yearly version releases. Enterprise go-to-market is high-touch: every demo is conducted by founder and CEO Rich Howard, reflecting a founder-led enterprise field-sales motion. A cloud-based remote-access deployment option is offered at approximately $250/month for the base system. The company is bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding, runs community engagement through forums and study groups in addition to LinkedIn and YouTube channels, and continues to release annual product updates including a 2026 migration to .NET 10.

The version history references a 'subscription licensing model'. Products include Assisi Cruiser (Android field app), Assisi Compiler, Assisi Inventory, Assisi Forest, and Assisi Enterprise with operations/scripting/multi-user features.
2. FVS Models (Separate License): Assisi FVS models will be licensed separately from Assisi with their own yearly maintenance, indicating separate revenue stream for specialized growth model access.

Core offering

Assisi Software develops and sells a tiered forest management software suite covering field data collection, cruise compilation, inventory and growth projection, long-term harvest planning, and operations tracking.

Product overview

Assisi Software offers a tiered desktop software suite for forestry management. The product architecture builds from entry-level to enterprise: Assisi Cruiser (Android mobile field survey app) feeds data into Assisi Compiler (compiles field data and applies growth models), which is included in Assisi Inventory (adds inventory management and growth projection), which is included in Assisi Forest (adds long-term planning, harvest scheduling, and multi-scenario simulation), with Assisi Enterprise adding Operations tracking, Scripting & Automation, Customization, and Multi-User Database capabilities. All products are built on SQL Server and .NET framework with support for industry-standard growth models including ORGANON, FVS, CAGYM, and ACADIA.

Emerging players

• Forest Metrix: Forest Metrix provides mobile/tablet-based forestry measurement and inventory tools for field foresters. It overlaps Assisi Cruiser on field data capture and basic cruise compilation, focusing on modern mobile UX rather than desktop planning suites.
• MosaicMill: MosaicMill specializes in drone-based forest inventory and remote-sensing analytics. It intersects Assisi's territory by feeding inventory and cruise data into forestry workflows, but differentiates through UAV-derived point clouds and automated stand delineation rather than desktop scripting.

Direct peers

• Remsoft: Remsoft provides optimization-based forest planning and analytics software for timberland owners and managers. It is a direct peer to Assisi's flagship Forest/Enterprise products, competing for the same enterprise forestry planning customers with harvest scheduling and long-term scenario modeling.
• Arbonaut: Arbonaut provides forest inventory, timber cruise, and forest management software for forestry professionals globally. It directly competes with Assisi in field-data collection, growth modeling, and planning workflows for foresters and timberland managers.
• TANGO Forest: TANGO offers forestry management software covering inventory, planning, and operations for forestry enterprises. It competes with Assisi Forest/Enterprise in the same long-term planning, harvest scheduling, and multi-user database category.
• Resource Information Management Systems (RIMS): RIMS provides timber inventory, growth modeling, and harvest scheduling software for forest managers. It overlaps Assisi's core inventory-and-planning suite and competes for similar enterprise timberland and forestry consulting customers.

Broad incumbents

• Esri ArcGIS (Forestry): Esri's ArcGIS platform is widely used by forestry organizations for spatial inventory, stand mapping, and planning. While not a vertical forestry suite, its GIS capabilities compete for budget and workflow ownership that Assisi integrates with via KML/GIS layers.
• Trimble Forestry (4D Forestry): Trimble's forestry division offers field-to-office forest inventory and operations solutions as part of its broader geospatial portfolio. It overlaps with Assisi in field data capture, cruise processing, and enterprise forestry workflows, but operates as part of a much larger geospatial incumbent.
