SilvAssist Mobile vs Arena Mobile

The SilvAssist (SA) Suite, built upon Esri’s ArcGIS platform, is the latest innovation to provide value-added data collection, reporting and analytics to foresters and all stakeholders related to a client or project. The unique suite of products, which includes SilvAssist Mobile, Inventory Manager, and Growth and Yield, equips mobile devices (phones/tablets) and/or desktop computers with the most functional and efficient forestry software. SilvAssist Mobile is the heart of the SilvAssist suite and gives you complete control for accurate data collection in the field. Client-driven pre-loaded options, built-in navigation and RTI functionality, configurable data entry forms and data synchronization directly to Inventory Manager make SilvAssist the easiest-to-use and most robust mobile forestry inventory system on the market today.

Arena Mobile is a user-friendly, free, and open-source application designed to streamline offline data collection. Serving as a companion to “Open Foris Arena”, it offers seamless data handling with an intuitive interface, capable of capturing diverse data types such as numbers, coordinates, images, videos, and text. Arena Mobile enables efficient collection of field data in various sectors, including forest inventories and interviews, by implementing customisable validation rules to ensure high-quality data. Supported by a robust community, it integrates with the Arena platform for analytics and reporting, making it an ideal choice for various data assessment needs.
