Woodland Solutions Group, a DJ&A company, provided Idaho Department of Lands (IDL) with an implementation of our Inventory Management System Software as a service (SAAS) solution.  This system provides an efficient timber cruising solution that includes both a mobile data collection component and a web application component to handle cruise design, assignment, check in/check out procedures, quality assurance/quality check (QA/QC), and data conversion to meet IDL’s requirements.  The team provided technical expertise in the data modeling process for four unique cruise specs. This included working with the client to understand the in-depth requirements of each cruise spec, to implement those requirements in the data model, and to develop business rules for the field data collection that adhered to those defined by the requirements.
