Forrestia FieldOperations Platform

Forrestia is an internal mobile application designed for forestry operations companies to manage field activities efficiently in remote environments. Supervisors can record personnel attendance, machine hours, vehicle mileage, fuel consumption, and workshop maintenance through a simple Portuguese-language interface optimized for users with limited technical experience. The platform prioritizes offline reliability while ensuring secure synchronization with centralized enterprise databases.

Challenge

The Problem

The solution needed to function reliably in remote forestry environments with intermittent connectivity while remaining easy to use for non-technical field supervisors. It also required robust synchronization logic to reconcile offline changes, maintain data consistency across multiple operational modules, and integrate seamlessly with an existing enterprise PostgreSQL infrastructure.

Solution

Our Approach

Built Forrestia, an offline-first Flutter mobile application that enables supervisors to capture operational data across multiple field modules. Records are stored locally using SQLite and automatically synchronized with a centralized GraphQL/PostgreSQL backend whenever a stable internet connection becomes available.

Architecture

System Design

The Flutter application uses GetX controllers and an MVC architecture to manage business logic across four operational modules. User actions are immediately stored in SQLite with synchronization states, while SharedPreferences maintains sessions and cached data. Once a validated internet connection is detected, a GraphQL synchronization service uploads pending records to a PostgreSQL database, reconciling newly created, updated, and deleted records sequentially.

01

Supervisor Login

Field supervisors sign in with simple credentials or device lock authentication designed for users with limited technical experience.

Automatic Synchronization

When a stable connection is detected, pending records sync to the GraphQL backend with clear prompts and progress feedback.
