Why Choose PTIS?
Precision Technology:
We don’t believe in "estimating" from a distance. PTIS utilizes industry-leading Haglöf instrumentation and high-accuracy Garmin GPS data collection to ensure every measurement is exact. By integrating high-end tech with field expertise, we provide a level of data integrity that standard cruises often miss.

Whether we are conducting a one-year seedling audit or a complex acquisition cruise, our process is designed to be repeatable, verifiable, and precise. We provide the "ground truth" that land managers, foresters and TIMOs need to make high-stakes management decisions.

As a privately-owned and operated firm, our reputation is on the line with every tract we cruise. We pride ourselves on being a dependable, "boots-on-the-ground" partner for clients across the Southeast. When you hire PTIS, you aren't just getting a data sheet; you're getting a dedicated team committed to the long-term health and profitability of your timber investment.
