Dayton, Ohio, United States
What it is
Sheltera is vegetation management software for utilities that combines multispectral satellite imagery, LiDAR, and proprietary AI/ML to identify vegetation threats. Its heat map and Threat Code system help prioritize tree clusters, with Code 5 marking immediate concerns. Sheltera says it can survey an entire grid in days or weeks rather than months and reports 95% accuracy in identifying vegetation threats; assessments can be customized to utility needs. Office tools include a problem-tree heat map, Threat Codes, Street View images of threats, and a dashboard for job bidding and resource mobilization. The mobile app supports GPS navigation, work orders, job estimates and bids, before-and-after photos, and documentation of completed work. The company says time-stamped records can help mitigate liability and demonstrate compliance with local codes. Its stated customer groups include utilities, municipalities, rural electric cooperatives, railways, and forestry services. The FAQ describes Android, iOS, and Windows support for the mobile app, plus offline or on-premises installation. Sheltera says customer information is not saved on its servers. The software is paid, with pricing on request; prospective customers can request a demo.
