What was the client’s business need?

The client required a comprehensive solution to improve the management of orders in the forestry and investment sectors. Key requirements included:

Centralization of data on orders, investors, and fieldwork
Automation of processes related to order handling and invoicing
The ability to track the progress of fieldwork in real time
Integration with a mapping system and management of spatial data
Ensuring effective communication between the office and field teams

What was the challenge?

The main challenge was to create a system tailored to the specific needs of the forestry industry, taking into account:

A variety of order types (State Forests, orchards, private and public investments)
The need to dynamically respond to changing conditions in the field
Handling specialized data, such as forest addresses and industry-specific units of measure (mp, m³)
Integration with a mapping system for visualizing work locations
Ensuring efficient work for both office staff and over 100 field team members using the mobile app

An additional challenge was the necessity for an iterative approach to requirements analysis, as the client did not have a complete list of functionalities, which required a flexible process of designing and implementation.

How did we address this?

The Multon system was designed as a comprehensive solution consisting of two key components:

Central web application – used by the office team, enabling the creation of detailed work plans for field teams, including geolocation and integration of information about technical equipment and vehicles.
Mobile application – used by over 100 field team members on their mobile devices, allowing them to track daily work plans, monitor progress, and report in real time.

The implementation process included:

• Detailed analysis of business needs

• Prototyping and preparing mockups in the form of user stories

• Iterative implementation of functionalities and testing with client participation

• Training for office and field staff

• Ongoing technical support and system development

Key functionalities

The Multon system offers a range of advanced features:

Order management – the ability to create, edit, and divide orders into various types (Orchards, State Forests, Private/Public Investments) with dedicated fields for each type
Automatic statuses and notifications – the system automatically changes order statuses (e.g. “Invoice to be issued”, “Invoice issued”) and sends notifications to relevant people
Investor data management – an extensive module for storing and managing investor information
Unit conversion – a built-in calculator enabling the conversion of stacked cubic meters (mp) to cubic meters (m³) and vice versa, according to forestry industry requirements
Map integration – the ability to search and visualize forest addresses on the map
Progress tracking – geolocation verification and photo integration are used to confirm the completion of specific work stages
Business analysis (BI) – open-source tools providing management with real-time insight into productivity and performance

What benefits did the client gain?

Implementing the Multon system brought tangible benefits to the client:

– Increased operational efficiency – data centralization and process automation significantly reduced the time required for administration and coordination

– Better order control – statuses, notifications, and progress tracking ensure full transparency of the order execution process

– Optimization of field team work – the mobile application provides access to up-to-date information and enables effective reporting

– Streamlined invoicing process – automatic statuses and notifications facilitate control over invoice issuance

– Precise work location – map integration and forest address management allow for accurate determination of work locations

– Business data analysis – real-time insight into productivity and results enables better management decisions

Multon is not just a tool for order management, but
a comprehensive system supporting all aspects of a company’s
operations in the forestry sector, ensuring efficiency,
transparency, and control over ongoing projects.
