Overview

I retired from the Minnesota D.N.R. Division of Forestry in July 2014. After retireing I started my own Forestry Consulting Service (Sharp's Forestry Consulting LLC). I struggled trying to find a computerized software program that I could use to create professional looking timber harvest maps, timber harvest plans etc. I mentioned this to several Forester friends of mine, finally I was recommended to contact Jesse and Carolyn Adams at North Point Geographic Solutions in Duluth Minnesota. An appointment was made where I drove to Duluth and met with Jesse and Carolyn at their office. From the moment we met I felt this company was going to be able to assist me. We went over in detail the type of product I was searching for. I wanted something that would save office time, was intuitive, easy to use, could be accessed in the field on smart devises, and would create professional looking reports. Jesse sent me the software he created in SmartFor a few weeks after our meeting. I was ecstatic even after only using the software for a short time. The software is internet based so I can write up timber appraisals anywhere I have an internet connection. The software has saved me so much office time, now I can spend more time in the field. As with any software development, it is a work in progress. North Point Geographic Solutions continue to send updates as needed that continue to make the software even better. I would recommend any Natural Resource Professional looking for an internet based GIS Program that works with ArcMap to contact North Point Geographic Solutions. They are located in Duluth Minnesota on beautiful Lake Superior. The website address is: www.northpointgis.com, office phone number is: (218)20-6747, ask for Jesse or Carolyn. To close, the support has been the best, always willing to help; most importantly issues have been resolved quickly. Sharp's Forestry Consulting LLC Al Sharp President.
