Is Silvacom eligible for Ontario public sector procurement?

Yes. We're a 100% employee-owned Canadian company, headquartered in Edmonton since 1983, with an office in Thunder Bay and an Ontario business licence. Our Ontario work is delivered by RPFs based in the province, so public-sector buyers receive services provided in Ontario by a Canadian business.

Does Silvacom have a local presence in Ontario, or is this served remotely?

Yes. We have an office in Thunder Bay, a licence to do business in Ontario, and a team of RPFs based in the province. Alex Bilyk, our Director of Innovation, leads our Ontario work and can be reached at 807-698-5686.

Can Silvacom help with the LiDAR-based T2 Inventory?

Silvacom can help you leverage T2 LiDAR inventory. With a team of PhDs specializing in remote sensing and deep learning, we can explain how we built the inventory, how it can be used, and its limitations. We also have an experienced team of photo interpreters to help with problem areas or updates as needed.

What forest management challenges are unique to Ontario right now?

Ontario forest managers are balancing tighter wood supply, fire and insect disturbance, caribou habitat requirements, species at risk, and Indigenous consultation, all while the province's forest sector strategy pushes for growth. We help build wood supply plans that hold up under those constraints, using spatial modelling in Patchworks and Remsoft.

What software solutions support Ontario forestry operations?

We build and support Silvacom FMS, our cloud-based forest management software. For tracking stakeholder and Indigenous engagement, we offer Jambo, a stakeholder relationship management (SRM) software platform.
