Trimble updates Land Resource Manager software

As part of a commitment to ‘Deliver the Connected Forest’, Trimble Forestry has reworked its popular Land Resource Manager (LRM) software to make it accessible any place, on any device, with upgraded tools to access data and maps, query, edit, print, and export reports for both staff and external parties.

LRM 4.4 also represents a significant upgrade in spatial technology. Powered by Esri, LRM 4.4 delivers advanced GIS web-based capabilities, including the ability to perform analytics using ArcGIS Insights or Dashboards and to publish or share maps using ArcGIS Online. User-friendly interfaces and the convenience of web access make LRM available in the field or office by business users and experts.

“The ability to access LRM from any mobile device, particularly its newer, more powerful mapping functions, makes it a valued solution for forestry operations throughout the world,” said Kevin Toohill, general manager of Trimble Forestry.

LRM 4.4 is built on a cloud-forward architecture, which allows users to migrate to either private- or public-hosting environments. This technology can facilitate the management of complex regulatory processes, such as the application of herbicides and pesticides. “The platform can be used, for example, to make public announcements to neighbours about planned activities, in a timely manner, and with the use of precise maps,” Mr Toohill said.

Existing customers can upgrade to LRM 4.4 without an extensive migration process. The software uses current configuration settings on the web and mobile platforms, making it easy to gain access to the new features. It’s also simple to add additional users since the existing settings are available automatically.
