Omnia Ecological Services

What Omnia Ecological Services does

Omnia Ecological Services is a private, Calgary-based environmental consulting firm specializing in terrestrial ecology across Western Canada, with an additional office in Golden, British Columbia. The company delivers biophysical impact assessments, wetland assessments and impact reports, habitat modeling (HSI) and constraint mapping, environmental impact assessments, vegetation inventory, wildlife inventory, species-at-risk surveys, environmental protection plans, and integrated landscape management planning for oil and gas, mining, infrastructure, urban land development, and government/conservation clients.

The firm's underlying technology stack combines applied ecological field methods (LiDAR, color infrared imagery, satellite remote sensing for habitat mapping) with proprietary wildlife telemetry hardware and software distributed under an exclusive North American partnership with Followit Lindesberg AB of Sweden. Omnia sells and supports the Tellus line of GPS collars (Basic, GSM, Iridium, UHF variants in sizes from 70g micro units to 70mm large-herbivore units), the RX-98 VHF tracking receiver family with directional and omni-directional antennas, the TPM (Tellus Project Manager) desktop software for collar programming and data extraction, and the Followit GEO web portal for two-way GSM/GPRS and Iridium collar communication, virtual fencing, remote drop-off triggering, battery monitoring, and movement tracking.

Omnia's revenue model is a hybrid of professional services (project-based environmental consulting and applied research engagements) and hardware distribution (one-time equipment sales with recurring monthly subscription fees for GSM and Iridium satellite data services). Sales are executed through direct field engagement from its two Canadian offices and through its distribution channel across Canada and the United States. The firm carries $5M in general liability and errors-and-omissions insurance, WCB coverage in Alberta and Saskatchewan, SECOR certification, and registrations with ISNetworld and ComplyWorks, enabling it to bid on industrial procurement contracts requiring certified safety and environmental credentials.
