Case Study: Sacramento Tree Foundation streamlines tree data collection with Idealist Consulting and Salesforce

Sacramento Tree Foundation streamlines tree mapping in 3 months with Idealist consulting

The Sacramento Tree Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to urban forest growth, needed a mobile solution to capture accurate GPS and tree data in the field to facilitate the evaluation of carbon credits. They enlisted Idealist Consulting to build a Salesforce-integrated application that would allow for real-time data collection and mapping.

Idealist Consulting implemented a custom mobile solution using Salesforce Enterprise Edition, Visual Force, and Google Maps integration. This enabled the foundation's foresters to capture data on iPads, map optimal tree planting sites in real-time, and generate documentation. The project, which took three months and 350 hours of effort, streamlined operations and improved the accuracy of their data collection for potential monetization of environmental benefits.
