Silvics Solutions brings under one roof two organizations with unique experience in natural resource management and technology innovation.
Silvics Solutions was created when Larson & McGowin, LLC., a forestry management and consulting group based in Mobile, AL, purchased Metsys Solutions – bringing to our software team extensive experience and a strong reputation for working with landowners and managers to facilitate sound business decisions.
Larson & McGowin, LLC. developed several software applications over the years to support its consulting business and had started licensing this technology to other companies in the late 1990s.
With the formation of Silvics Solutions, LLC., an experienced software development team was partnered with a 50-year-old forestry consulting firm to provide a solid foundation for building applications that fit their specific needs, providing efficiency and precision to their operations, all at price points that fit with their business model.
So Silvics – unlike other companies in the industry – understands both software development and natural resource management and has decades of collective experience. All Silvics employees have knowledge of forest industry and natural resource management practices.
We develop our own products and work with our clients to implement them successfully and ensure their continued effectiveness.
Custom support and training are provided by the very people who create the products — an almost unparalleled benefit within the industry.
Our clients rely on the scope and diversity of our GIS, database and natural resource management expertise.
That is the Silvics advantage.
