CAMS = Conservation Activity Management System
- the software conservation needs

CAMS is continuously improving and improving the efficiency of conservation work.

CAMS Public

CAMS Public – built in ArcGIS Hub Premium – enables free access to CAMS Public Weed Action maps to edit a limited set of public weed data, as well as dashboards with aggregated statistics, and field maps for finding the weeds in the field. The public map displays public iNaturalist records for selected weeds including mothplant, old man’s beard and woolly nightshade. It also shows weeds from CAMS Community which are marked as Open. CAMS Public is now available for testing. Please send any feedback to systems@econet.nz.

CAMS Community 

CAMS Community enables verified users free access to the complete CAMS Community Weed Maps and dashboards via your browser or via ArcGIS Field Maps on your mobile device – eg phone, iPad.  CAMS Community Weed Maps provide the tools you need to record and manage weeds over the lifespan of the weed and its seed bank. With its unique weed status display, CAMS provides the data that you and your team need to tell the status of a weed patch at any time. CAMS tools allow you to record the status of weeds in the field, develop weed work plans at your home or report on aggregate weed counts across an area. We now have iNaturalist integration enabling entry of data via iNaturalist, synching selected weeds into CAMS Community Weed MapsAlready, hundreds of people are using CAMS Community Weed Maps to locate and record action on pest plants. For more information and to become a verified user please see our CAMS sign up site.

CAMS Premium 

CAMS Premium allows groups to access more advanced features for an annual support fee. Features include CAMS Places with synch to CAMS Relationship Management, Views of data filtered for your conservation group, Capture my Path, CAMS Plans and Problems (beta).

Hub sites

EcoNet can also offer groups an ArcGIS Hub Site which enables group members to log in to record hours and actions synching into CAMS Relationship Management, and potentially see your organisations GIS dashboards. Contact us for more information

CAMS Relationship Management 

CAMS CRM is a fully configured Microsoft contact management system with some integrations with GIS. CAMS Relationship Management for conservation is built on Microsoft Dynamics 365, and now integrated with Mailchimp marketing software. This enables contact management, integrated emailing, centralised contact list, cross organisation visibility of interests, groups, skills, agreements, tool library, actions recording, health & safety plans, incident reporting and more. All of this is is reported seemlessly in Power BI. Conservation groups now have a 360 degree view of people, projects, inputs and impact. CAMS Relationship Management is in use by five conservation groups, one of which has 6000 contacts. The CRM has revolutionised the way these conservation groups engage, record and report data. CAMS Premium includes mapping of locations which synchronise through to CRM.
