We are digitising the forest
For more than three decades, we at palos GmbH (previously Forest Mapping Management) have been the leading provider of digital solutions for forestry and the partner for aerial photography.
From experts for experts
The forest is a complex ecosystem in which every element plays an important role, and every plant and animal fulfills a specific function. There is a need for software that unites all forestry processes and tasks. That is why we have developed palos - a comprehensive digital forestry platform.
As an established partner and part of THE LIECO COMPANY and Liechtenstein Group, we have extensive expertise and support in managing your forest sustainably in the long term. We stand for tradition and stability.
Our planes
We are the proud owners of two Partenavia P68 Observer aircraft, which are used for our airborne sensing projects.

What sets us apart
The people who work at palos know the forest inside out. They bring experience from the field, from academia and from technological development. It is precisely this combination that gives rise to solutions that work in everyday life.
Experience that runs deep
Our forestry experts possess practical experience and hold academic qualifications from renowned universities, including BOKU Vienna, the University of Freiburg, and the University of Göttingen. They advise, train, and support forestry operations on an equal footing.
A key area of expertise is the use of AI for individual tree identification. This method, developed in-house, makes forest inventories more precise, efficient, and cost-effective. It is based on decades of work with real-world stands and specific practical requirements.
Technology that understands everyday forestry
Our software is developed entirely in-house. At palos, forestry experts and developers work closely together to ensure that digital tools really do work in the day-to-day reality of forestry.
The result is the palos platform. It helps you consolidate forestry data, manage processes, and make informed decisions.
Data that brings the forest to life
Our experts in geoinformatics, photogrammetry, and remote sensing transform all types of data into reliable forestry information. Whether sourced from drones, aircraft, or satellites, every dataset is processed with precision.
This results in orthophotos, true orthoimages, digital terrain and surface models, as well as three-dimensional point clouds. These form the basis for sound analyses and confident decision-making in forestry.
By your side. Right from the start.
Digitalisation only delivers its full benefits when it is properly understood. That is why we provide you with personalised support. From the initial consultation through to implementation and the ongoing use of the palos platform.
Our sales team is an integral part of the partnership. We listen, explain, train, and continue to develop solutions together. Our aim is a long-term partnership in which digital tools create real added value.
Workplace health promotion
Anyone who takes on daily responsibility for forests and data needs a workplace that supports them. At palos, we place a conscious focus on health, work-life balance, and sustainable working conditions.
The BGF seal of approval validates this approach and our commitment to working well together in the long term.
