Forest Enterprise Management Information System (FEMIS)

Overview

FEMIS is a Django/React Native ERP replacing paper-based tracking across the organization's timber value chain. It includes a web admin portal and an offline Android app for forest, nursery, sawmill, and stock operations.

Challenge

Remote forests had no internet, data was fragmented across notebooks and Excel, and logs were lost between harvest and sawmill. The organization needed an offline-first, configurable system that could handle 100+ task types and complex branch-level permissions.

Solution

We built an offline-capable Android app with GPS, barcode scanning, and bidirectional sync. The web portal provides configurable task types, role-based access, financial tracking, and WebGIS visualization.

Key Technologies

Django React Native Expo PostgreSQL Offline Sync Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) Nginx

Impact

Data visibility dropped from 4–6 weeks to real-time, log reconciliation accuracy rose to 95%+, and cost-per-hectare became calculable. The open-source system now runs on government servers with local maintainability.
