As one of the largest forest owners in
Sweden, Holmen is committed to
become more data-driven in its forestry operations
WESTMINSTER, Colo.,
April 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) announced today that Holmen, a
leading Swedish forestry company, has selected Trimble CONNECTED
FOREST® as its new, comprehensive forest management
system for Holmen Skog. ForestX, Trimble's service partner in
Sweden, will implement the digital
transformation project.
Holmen Skog, responsible for managing and developing Holmen's
extensive land holdings totaling approximately 1.3 million
hectares, is set to become the first in Sweden and Scandinavia to fully adopt the
Trimble CONNECTED FOREST suite. Selecting the CONNECTED FOREST
suite aligns with Holmen's strategic commitment to become more
data-driven in its forestry operations.
Clas Engström, head of development at Holmen Skog, commented on
the strategic move: "CONNECTED FOREST gives us a platform where we
can add more solutions and systems in the future. We have a lot of
data. Now we have a platform that makes it possible for our company
to take a data-driven approach in our work for the long term. In
Trimble, we have an active counterpart who continues to develop
their software. We get inspiration from Trimble for our own
development."
The adoption of the CONNECTED FOREST suite represents not only
an IT project, but a significant shift in Holmen Skog's approach to
work. Engström said, "We are also looking at changing our own
working methods. We have involved large parts of the business to
find some new approaches and to work in new ways."
"Holmen Skog's strategic adoption of Trimble's CONNECTED FOREST
suite represents a pivotal moment in advancing data-driven forestry
operations in Sweden," said
Kevin Toohill, general manager of
Trimble Forestry. "In collaboration with ForestX, this initiative
is pivotal to transforming sustainable forest management."
ForestX plays a crucial role in implementing the project.
Engström emphasized the value of ForestX's involvement: "ForestX is
close to us and knows forestry in Sweden and Scandinavia. It will be a great
advantage to collaborate in Swedish during these major development
steps."
