What Resource Innovations does

Resource Innovations Inc. is a Corner Brook, Newfoundland and Labrador-based professional consulting firm founded in August 2007 by Registered Professional Forester Adam Anderson. The company delivers forest and environmental management, geomatics, and digital analysis services to provincial government natural resource agencies, forest industry operators, and First Nations communities across at least 8 Canadian provinces and territories. Its stated mission is to help clients manage forest ecosystems in a sustainable manner through the integration of geospatial technology with practical field expertise.

The firm's service portfolio is organized into four integrated lines: Geospatial Services (enterprise GIS platforms, mobile data collection, spatial analysis); Resource Management (strategic planning, forest management planning, operational harvest planning, resource inventory, silviculture); Technology Integration (custom mobile/web applications, AI-powered inventory tools, real-time asset tracking); and Remote Sensing (aerial imagery, LiDAR, and multispectral acquisition paired with AI-driven analytics for landscape monitoring and change detection). Underlying technology combines commercial GIS platforms with proprietary custom-developed digital data collection tools, reporting dashboards, and machine-learning workflows applied to remote sensing datasets.

Resource Innovations generates revenue through project-based professional consulting engagements priced via quote requests and consultation scheduling, with no public pricing disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, targeting enterprise and government buyers across Canada. The team of approximately 11-50 employees includes Registered Professional Foresters, Forest Resource Technicians, and specialists holding Canadian Institute of Forestry Gold Medal awards; leadership was professionalized in 2022 with the addition of a Director of Business Operations and expanded in 2024 with new operational and administrative hires.

Broad incumbents

• Tetra Tech: Global environmental and resource management consulting firm with extensive forestry, geospatial analytics, and remote sensing practices. Comparable in service scope (forest inventory, GIS, environmental consulting) but vastly larger and broader in industry coverage.
• ESRI Canada: Canadian distributor and integrator for ESRI's ArcGIS platform, providing implementation, training, and custom GIS application development to forestry and natural resource agencies. Closest comparable to the Geospatial Services and Enterprise GIS offerings of Resource Innovations.
• Stantec: Major Canadian-headquartered environmental and engineering consultancy with a dedicated forestry and natural resources service line. Competes for the same government and forest industry engagements, but competes from a full-service environmental/platform position rather than a focused forestry niche.
• WSP Global: Large global engineering and environmental consulting firm with a Canadian forestry and natural resources practice. Provides similar services (forestry planning, GIS, environmental assessment) at much greater scale and with broader geographic reach, but as part of a multi-disciplinary portfolio rather than a pure forestry specialist.
• Trimble: Global positioning and geospatial technology company with a forestry-specific portfolio (e.g., remote sensing, forest inventory software, mobile field tools). Provides the technology layer that Resource Innovations' custom tools compete against or integrate with.

Direct peers

• PCI Geomatics: Canadian remote sensing and image processing software company serving forestry, agriculture, defense, and environmental applications. Comparable to the Remote Sensing and AI analytics service lines of Resource Innovations, but operating more as a software vendor than a consulting firm.
• Silvacom: Canadian forestry consulting firm that combines resource management planning with GIS, remote sensing, and software tools (e.g., Treq, forest inventory platforms) for forest industry and government clients. Closest direct comparable to Resource Innovations in both service mix and target customer.
• AgEagle Aerial Systems: Drone and remote sensing company (with the former GeoDigital LiDAR forestry analytics business) delivering aerial data, analytics, and asset management for forestry and utilities. Direct competitor in the LiDAR/drone-enabled forest inventory and monitoring space.
• Dillon Consulting: Mid-sized Canadian consulting firm offering environmental services, forestry support, and GIS/mapping to government and industrial clients. Directly comparable to Resource Innovations in scale, geography, and service mix; competes for similar procurement contracts across Canadian provinces.
• Forest Technology Systems: Specialized forestry consulting and technology firm delivering remote sensing, GIS, and forest inventory services to industry and government. Direct niche competitor in the Canadian forestry tech-enabled consulting market.
