CollectiveCrunch

CollectiveCrunch builds artificial intelligence products that turn satellite, lidar, climate and geographic data into information about forests. Its customers are forest owners, sawmills, cities and municipalities that need better evidence for decisions about woodland.

What CollectiveCrunch offers

• Forest inventory — AI-based estimates of operational yields across large forest areas.
• Bark beetle detection — maps areas affected by infestations.
• Biodiversity index — shows the state of a forest from a biodiversity point of view.
• Scout — a property assessment tool for people buying land or timber.
• Storm damage detection — maps wind-felled forest from satellite images, including under snow.

Who it works with

Forest owners, sawmills, cities and municipalities. The site quotes feedback from Metsä Group and Sveaskog, and says the models are built on country-specific lidar and satellite data and work with common forest management systems.
