Forstify is founded
Marco Hartmann and Christian Kaulich found Forstify GmbH in Arnsberg — rooted in the roundwood trade, with the idea of making timber marketing simpler.
“From a simple idea grew a tailor-made platform for the digitalisation of forestry — one that supports its users every day in managing their forests. And we make our technology accessible to everyone, through attractive pricing and simple operation.”
« Surtout dans des filières étroitement interconnectées, la numérisation peut faciliter le quotidien de nombreuses personnes et entreprises. C’est précisément ce qui nous anime. »
