Company profile
researched Aug 2026FeltGIS AS is a Norwegian technology company, founded in 2016, that builds an IT system for environmentally certified digital forestry. Its platform targets timber traders, large forest owners and suppliers of contracting and forestry services, and covers the workflow from planning through harvesting to documentation. The core products include an interactive mapping service with a broad set of forestry-specific map layers, GPS tracking, digital forms, and offline support, delivered on PC, Android and iOS so that users can work in the office or in the forest with or without mobile coverage.
A central element is FeltBoks ("FieldBox"), a device installed in forest machines regardless of manufacturer, which synchronises maps, map data, tasks and files with the company's mobile apps and cloud services. Contractors can share position and track logs, view planned measures and environmental considerations, add points to the map, mark retention trees and report deviations. The company supports the StanForD Classic and StanForD 2010 machine data standards and offers APIs for reporting production, forwarding, quality and calibration data. It also describes a data-control model in which forestry contractors choose which data they share and with whom, in line with GDPR and an agreement with MEF (the Norwegian association of machine contractors).
The company positions its mapping and documentation tools as support for compliance with forestry law and with the PEFC and FSC environmental certification schemes, and states that its solutions are prepared to support the EU Regulation on Deforestation-Free Products (EUDR).
Founding story
The company was founded in 2016 by Kristoffer Stenersen and Isak Hasselvold, combining specialisation in GIS technology and mobile/M2M communication with experience of modern forestry operations, to make it easier for forestry actors to exchange data with personnel and machines on harvesting sites.
Business model
B2B software and connected hardware sold to forestry sector organisations — timber traders, large forest owners and contracting/forestry service providers — combining cloud mapping and collaboration services, mobile and desktop applications, the in-machine FeltBoks synchronisation unit, and APIs for reporting machine and production data into customers' core systems.
Traction
Customer list includes Skog-Data, Nortømmer, Glommen Mjøsen Skog and Fjordtømmer, with Stora Enso Skog, Fritzøe Skoger and Mjøsen Skog also shown on the company website. The FeltLogg Android app reports over 1,000 downloads. The company reported a core team of about 7 people and, per an October 2022 report, results strong enough that its valuation roughly tripled over 18 months.
Latest developments
In October 2022 FeltGIS announced a NOK 4.1 million equity tranche led by the seed fund First:Seed Hedmark, valuing the company at NOK 34.6 million post-issue, with participation from existing shareholders, employees and private individuals with forestry expertise.

Lefébure took over as CEO from co-founder Isak Hasselvold, who became product and marketing manager. The company states its solutions are prepared for EUDR compliance.
