OAAS helped Scierie du Forez turn an expert calculation method into an automated Excel tool for estimating timber volume and forest-parcel value.
Why ?
Why automate a small but critical business process?
The client already knew how to calculate the volume of wood contained in a forest parcel, but the manual process was time-consuming and difficult to repeat consistently.
A lightweight Excel solution was the appropriate choice because it matched existing working habits while removing repetitive manual steps.
Your benefits
OAAS relies on a proven technical foundation: device or data management, collection, dashboards, alerts, security and automation. You save development time and focus your effort on business needs.
Instead of rebuilding a complete solution for every project, OAAS relies on a scalable technical foundation that can adapt to different uses, industries and field constraints.
All elements are monitored from a single interface. Teams can review status, latest data and configuration without multiplying tools.
Field data is collected, historized and transformed into understandable indicators. The goal is not only to store measurements, but to make them useful for decisions and actions.
Clear specifications, controlled testing and close collaboration keep delivery focused, testable and aligned with the real needs of the field.
How ?
How was the workbook automated?
The customer supplied the algorithms and worked with OAAS to define the complete functional specifications.
OAAS then structured and automated the workbook so that users could enter parcel information and obtain consistent volume and price estimates, focusing on clarity and reliability.
What ?
What was delivered?
An automated Excel workbook used to estimate the value of forest parcels.
The tool has remained in production for five years, demonstrating the value of a focused solution aligned with the actual workflow.
Conclusion
Conclusion
This project is a practical example of digitalization at the right scale.
By automating an existing expert method instead of replacing it with a large application, OAAS delivered immediate value with minimal disruption.
