Integrated Tree Management System (ITMS)
What is it?
This innovative software is a comprehensive and interactive Arboricultural management system developed by Heritage Tree Care to track the care, maintenance and management of trees. It ensures that tree keepers are compliant with their ‘duty of care’ in relation to their valuable tree assets. The system focuses specifically on risk management and ultimately reducing long-term tree management costs.
It is easy to use and encompasses everything required to ensure the obligations as tree keeper are met. These include tree inspections and assessments; documentation of information and tree mapping; implementation of management strategies and remedial works; scheduling of maintenance programs; budgeting and forecasting of future asset management costs.
