Digitally Map the Oak Processionary Moth

Jewel Tasks supports the inventory and monitoring of oak processionary moth infestations by digitising the entire process. Nests can be easily recorded on a digital map directly from the field, creating a clear and up-to-date overview of affected locations.

For each nest, details such as height and exact position are registered, allowing teams to assess risks accurately. The appropriate treatment method can then be selected per location, based on safety, accessibility, and policy guidelines. All actions are tracked in real time, giving planners and coordinators continuous insight into the progress of control measures and ensuring infestations are managed in a structured and transparent way.

Efficient Planning and Execution of Control Measures

Jewel Software enables teams to work more efficiently by providing a clear digital structure for oak processionary moth control. Work orders are issued digitally to field teams, ensuring everyone has the same, up-to-date information on locations and required actions.

From the field, teams update the status of their work in real time, giving planners immediate insight into progress. This reduces the risk of locations being visited twice or overlooked entirely. When new reports come in or conditions change, plans can be adjusted quickly and shared instantly with the teams outside, allowing operations to remain flexible and controlled even under changing circumstances.

Reporting and Communication

Jewel supports reporting and collaboration by centralising all information on oak processionary moth control in one system. Reports are generated automatically per area or per client, providing a clear overview of nests, actions taken, and current status without additional administrative work.

Data is accessible to both municipalities and contractors, ensuring everyone works with the same, up-to-date information. Where required, relevant information can be shared via citizen platforms, such as indicating where nests have been removed or treated. This creates transparency toward residents and decision-makers, supports clear communication, and helps municipalities demonstrate control, accountability, and responsible management.
