Urban forestry: why choose between cutting-edge technology and human expertise?

🌳 Cities face a growing challenge: How do you build a highly accurate, scalable tree inventory, and keep it alive over time, without exploding costs?

On one side, mobile LiDAR captures thousands of trees with engineering-grade precision, delivering unmatched positioning and morphometrics.

On the other, arborists remain essential to assess tree health, risks, and structural integrity in the field.

And without a strong GIS, even the best data quickly becomes outdated.

👉 The reality: you need all three.

That’s why Jakarto and PlanIT Geo are joining forces to introduce a new approach: TreeD hybrid tree Inventory.

A seamless solution combining:

  • Advanced LiDAR-based data acquisition
  • Targeted expert field validation
  • And TreePlotter for day-to-day urban forest management

 

How it works

1. Technology does the heavy lifting
Jakarto processes LiDAR data to generate a high-precision baseline inventory.

2. Human expertise where it matters most
Field inspections are targeted, focusing on trees identified as at-risk through digital analysis.

3. A living inventory
All data is centralized in TreePlotter, enabling real-time updates, work order management, and ecosystem service analysis.

 

What about existing inventories?

TreeD doesn’t replace your data — it enhances it.

We map each existing tree to its digital counterpart to:

  • Correct past GPS inaccuracies
  • Update morphometrics
  • Preserve historical records

From virtual inspections to automated planting site identification, everything works as a connected ecosystem.
