A key technological differentiator is the TerraScanner — an NIR-based on-site soil analysis tool delivering results within minutes — combined with a cloud-connected wireless soil moisture monitoring system using LoRa network and mobile apps. Additional services include tree transplantation studies, ecological surveys (Flora & Fauna), soil protection plans, urban forestry advisory, and drone-based tree inspection. The portfolio is delivered by certified tree specialists (European Tree Worker/Technician, VTA controllers, registered appraisers) through project supervision and engineering services.
