Within just a few years, the software has developed into the leading solution for forestry companies - with over 10,000 users to date.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"331\" data-end=\"743\">ForstControl digitalizes key work processes in forestry: from the initial planning phase to the final reporting <a href=\"https:\/\/forstcontrol.com\/en\/funktionen\/\">Performance tracking from order processing to billing<\/a>. The business perspective on forestry operations is particularly valuable. \u00abWood is the highest asset,\u00bb Henzmann said. Thanks to ForstControl, effort and yield can be analyzed precisely \u2013 even for cost-intensive tasks such as maintaining firebreaks or hiking trails.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.3; margin: 1.4em 0 0.4em;\">David Henzmann: trained forester with an entrepreneurial spirit<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"745\" data-end=\"1230\">His success is no coincidence: Henzmann himself is a trained forest warden with over ten years of professional experience. His in-depth knowledge of the industry, combined with his entrepreneurial spirit, has led to the creation of a practical product. The Baden municipal forestry office is also a long-standing user. Head forester Georg von Graefe praises the increase in efficiency: \"Our employees record their hours directly in the forest - structured by project, transparent and time-saving.\"<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1232\" data-end=\"1538\">The financing of the platform was initially provided by strategic investors. In a second round, they are now participating. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conda.ch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">almost 200 private individuals<\/a> \u2013 starting at 40 francs. The goal is a version 3.0 with expanded features that should now allow for the step into Germany and Austria as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1540\" data-end=\"1805\">With his growing company and his commitment to the region - for example with the fire department and civil defense - Henzmann remains down-to-earth.
