The STEMS software program is designed to
operate on a Windows® personal computer, running Windows
95 or greater. No additional software is needed to program.
It uses a simple graphic interface that enables novice users
to fully utilize the complete extent of the tree management
software's features. The STEMS software is fully integrated
with the Mobile Community Tree Inventory (MCTI) software.

THE TOOLS
Complaint/Work Request
This component of the software allows users to register and
track maintenance requests received by an agency or municipality.
Initial telephone requests or department work assignments
are noted and tracked in this module of the software.
Work Orders
The generation of work orders, including assignment
of personnel and equipment is completed in this section of
the software package. Estimation of project time, personnel
costs and work order scheduling is easily calculated using
a simple single screen interface. Actual Work Orders are created,
and include a bar-code system for entry of completed work
assignments.
Reports
Compiling tabular and graphic reports, related to work requests,
work orders, scheduling and personnel costs are easily completed
in this STEMS module. Using a variety of sorting and filtering
criteria, it is possible to easily track and display tree
maintenance operations in a community.
MCTI Integration
Users of the MCTI inventory software will find the STEMS package
a logical next step in tree management and work planning.
The STEMS software works with existing MCTI databases to allow
complete updating of tree evaluation criteria, following maintenance
operations. In this manner the STEMS and MCTI software work
together to fully integrate inventory and maitenance activity.
