The webFRIS application stores stand level data for a variety of products and species. The flexibility of the database structure promotes unique configuration so that we can accommodate the inventory requirements of each customer. webFRIS allows users with the appropriate privileges to modify inventory through manual data entry or in bulk fashion through a batch processing tool. All spatial and tabular changes occur in real-time via the web.

webFRIS enforces business logic rules associated with inventory. Clear-cut and thinning activities automatically adjust stand level inventory based on a user-defined harvest method. Removal and residual volumes are maintained and easily tracked trhough the Query & Reports module.

Sewall's proprietary Timber Inventory System (TIS) provides for easy upload of processed field data directly into webFRIS. Using the TIS, a user can prcess field data into stand level volumes, evaluate the results through customized reports, and then upload those volumes directly into the webFRIS database. The interaction between the two systems ensures timely access to inventory data.
