Taking care of the digitalisation of forestry – the story of RMK

 OIXIO has been a partner in the digital development of RMK for over 20 years 

RMK, the State Forest Management Centre, manages around 30% of the total area of Estonia. RMK takes care of the survival of the state forest by planting more than 20 million forest plants a year. Annually, nearly 3 million visits are made to the recreation and forest trails maintained by RMK. In addition, RMK is the largest performer of nature conservation works in Estonia. In managing these tasks, reliable IT solutions are essential, allowing RMK’s team to work on-site in the forest when needed. 

OIXIO has been RMK’s digital development partner for over 20 years and during this time, Microsoft Dynamics AX was implemented first, followed by the Payroll and HR Solution. The collaboration has involved both larger and smaller projects, interfaces and innovations. This has helped RMK take the next steps in the digital development journey and digitalise its business processes. OIXIO’s solutions empower nearly 700 RMK employees to efficiently protect, preserve, and manage state forests. 

Digitalising the timber sourcing process 

In collaboration with OIXIO, RMK’s entire timber sourcing process, from logging to logistics, has been digitalised. To increase efficiency, Enterprise Portal desktops have been created, which have improved process monitoring and daily work. This allows site managers to work outdoors as well, which is important for RMK in fulfilling its mission. 

Completed desktops include: 

  • Forester’s desktop 
  • Marketing desktop 
  • Logistics desktop 
  • Forest improver’s desktop 
  • Wood chips desktop 
  • Quality inspector desktop 
  • ePraaker, the mobile field desktop solution for quality inspectors, built on the ColMobile platform 

Completed projects 

In addition to Microsoft Dynamics AX, the OIXIO Payroll and HR Solution and the Enterprise Portal desktops, RMK has also implemented CRM, POS interface, banking interface, e-invoice centre, e-government interfaces, and BI analytics solutions over the years. 

From the organisation’s point of view, digitalisation has led to greater convenience of use and helped RMK significantly save on working time. The Power BI solution called Tarneoperatiiv provides reporting for a growing forest, which helps logisticians and sourcing managers make more accurate decisions.
