palos has more than 30 years’ experience in forestry. Our roots lie in Austria and Germany: the expertise of the former companies FMM and treeva is now brought together under the palos brand. This long-standing experience forms the basis for the development of practical solutions for modern forestry operations.
palos combines forestry expertise with digital technologies. We specialise in digitally mapping processes across the forestry value chain and supporting forestry operations in achieving efficient, data-driven and sustainable management.
palos GmbH is part of THE LIECO COMPANY and is therefore part of the Liechtenstein Group. This means that palos is backed by a strong, long-term-oriented group of companies with its own forestry operations and deep roots in the forestry sector. Our solutions are therefore not only designed for practical use: they can also be tested in the group’s own forests and further developed under real-world conditions.
palos supports forestry operations with digital solutions and forestry services throughout the entire forestry process. These include the palos platform for the digital planning and management of forestry operations, fovea for digital timber stack measurement, and services relating to forest management planning, geodata and individual tree identification. In this way, we combine forestry expertise, modern data sets and digital tools in a single portfolio of solutions.
The head office of palos GmbH is located in Salzburg, Austria. With our second office in Bad Ems, Germany, we are also able to provide on-the-ground support for our clients. From both locations, we support forestry operations, drawing on our many years of experience in the Austrian and German forestry sectors.
palos is a digital platform for modern forest management. It enables forestry operations to efficiently manage all processes across the value chain, from inventory and planning to forest operations and timber sales, all within a single solution.
palos platform is suitable for anyone who wants to manage their forest areas transparently and clearly - from forest owners to foresters, hunting staff, and associations.
palos platform is suitable for forest owners, companies, and associations of various sizes.

Roads can be created simply by digitizing the center line, whereby the width can be specified individually.
Yes, you can create your own themes and import and export them (shp, Geo-PDF).
Yes, we would be happy to take over your existing forest map. Please get in touch with us to clarify further procedures together.
Yes, changes made to the digital forest map are automatically incorporated into the forest management plan. As a result, volumes, area sizes and the designation of sub-areas are continuously recalculated, ensuring that the forest management plan is always up to date. This provides a reliable basis for well-informed forestry decisions.
Yes, the map can be easily printed in various scales and designs.
Yes, we can import them in Germany.
Yes, these can be exported as XLS with coordinates and transmitted to authorities, emergency services, etc.

Yes. As well as images and voice messages, you can assign documents, contracts and other relevant paperwork directly to a task and organise them clearly there.
Yes, for each measure, you can enter an estimated quantity in advance and add the actual amount and hours later.
Activating the "measures" layer in the forest map makes all measures visible.
You can use the filter tool above the measures board to filter measures by period, measure type, or free text entry.
All relevant yield tables for the respective country are already stored. You can also add your own yield tables on request.
Yes, in future, permanent samples can be calculated directly within the palos platform to determine the tax rate. We already offer these calculations as a service. We would be happy to discuss the procedure and the options available during a no-obligation meeting.
The single tree derivation uses a neural network to recognize individual trees in aerial or satellite images and determine their location, height and tree species. The position and height are determined with a high degree of precision. Furthermore, the detected objects can be reliably categorised as deadwood, conifers and deciduous trees. In the case of conifers, it is also possible to identify the species in detail.
Yes, in palos, it is easy to change the economic plan. Thinnings or utilisations can be entered anytime, and the key figures are updated automatically.
Yes, we are happy to take over existing economic plan data. Contact us to discuss the next steps together.
Yes, the Operat can be updated as of the reporting date.

In practice, photo-optical measurement using fovea often shows deviations of less than 3 per cent from the factory-acceptance dimensions. Many customers therefore also use fovea as a control measure to verify invoicing and quality checks.
fovea is designed for the photo-optical measurement of short timber. Long timber and individual logs cannot currently be measured using photo-optical methods. However, they can still be digitally recorded, calculated and managed.
fovea complements and simplifies existing measurement methods. Traditional methods such as cross-sectional measurement or individual log surveying remain relevant and can be digitally documented using fovea. You retain full professional control and decision-making authority at all times.
Yes. Measurements and calculations are carried out entirely offline within the app. An internet connection is only required to synchronise the recorded data at a later stage.
No. fovea has been developed for use in the forest. The app is intuitive and easy to learn. No major technical changes are required.
fovea runs on standard smartphones with the latest version of iOS or Android. No additional hardware is required.
You can easily do this yourself. All you need to do is go to ‘Settings’ (top right of the home screen) > ‘Account settings’ > ‘Account’ > ‘Delete account’ and confirm.
With a flat-rate plan, you pay a fixed price over a set contract period. With the prepaid model, you top up your credit in advance, with no contract commitment whatsoever.
A flat-rate plan is suitable for consistent, predictable usage. The prepaid model is a better fit if your usage varies or you don’t want to commit to a long-term contract.
The longer the contract term, the greater the discount: with the 3-year flat-rate plan, you save around 16 per cent per year; with the 5-year flat-rate plan, around 44 per cent per year.
Yes. The trial month is completely free of charge and comes with no obligation.
You can use fovea free of charge for 30 days.
During the trial month, you’ll have access to all the key features, so you can get a comprehensive idea of what fovea has to offer.
Yes. If you have any questions during the trial month, we’ll be happy to help. The best way to get in touch is to email us directly at: office@palos.eu

A forest management plan involves the systematic assessment and planning of the condition of your forest. It provides information on timber volume, stand structure, growth and potential uses, and forms the basis for the long-term management of your forest.
Forests are constantly changing. A up-to-date forest management plan provides a clear picture of the state of your forest and enables you to make informed decisions regarding harvesting, management and investment.
Depending on the operation, data on tree species, timber volume, age structure, growth, stand boundaries and other relevant information, amongst other things, is recorded and analysed.
A forest management plan is useful for forestry operations of any size that wish to manage their woodland in a long-term, sustainable and economically viable manner.
Yes. In addition to traditional methods, we offer a modern, digital approach based on high-resolution aerial photographs, known as individual tree mapping (EBA).
Yes, at palos, we offer modern digital forest inventory methods and traditional methods such as inventory sampling.
Single tree derivation enables more precise data collection with fewer ground points than traditional methods. In addition, ground control points can be collected using the augmented reality app "Arboreal," which saves time and effort.
No, it is currently impossible to calculate a single tree derivation from drone images.
Yes, through collaboration with external partners.
We use all types of imagery as long as the quality meets our standards. Where appropriate, we also use satellite data.
