01 / Problems we solve

How we transform environmental work

Satellite imagery

Before
Downloading and processing images by hand every time a study needs updating.
With Boreal Austral
An automated workflow retrieves the data, calculates the indicators and updates your database.

Fewer repetitive hours, consistent results.

Environmental risk

Before
Scattered maps and files that are hard to compare.
With Boreal Austral
A viewer brings the variables together and shows which areas to prioritize.

Better prioritization, decisions that are easier to communicate.

Process automation

Before
Downloads, calculations, spreadsheets and reports your team repeats by hand every week.
With Boreal Austral
Automated workflows that do that work for you, with built-in quality checks.

More hours for analysis, fewer manual errors.

Scattered data

Before
Spreadsheets and folders with different versions of the same data.
With Boreal Austral
A central database, with APIs connecting your tools to the same information.

A single source of truth, secure and available.

How much is the time spent on repetitive tasks worth?

Find out how much time and work capacity your team could recover by automating repetitive processes.

Your company loses money every day on tasks that could be automated. And you may not even realize how much.

288 h

freed up per year

US$8,640

of work capacity per year

10 h × 48 weeks × 60% × US$30 per hour

An economic equivalent of the time freed up, not guaranteed cash savings.

02 / Why we are different

We understand the problem and build the tool.

An environmental consultancy knows ecosystems; a software company builds platforms. We do both.

  1. 01

    We understand environmental problems, not just the data.

    Ecological, hydrological and spatial modeling.

  2. 02

    We build technology, not just deliverables.

    Tools your team keeps using.

  3. 03

    We automate the repetitive work.

    Analyses that update without starting from scratch.

  4. 04

    We prioritize rigor and reproducibility.

    Validated, defensible results.

03 / Our solutions

Four specialties, combined to fit your project

05 / Solutions by sector

Which sector do you work in?

For consulting firms

Are you an environmental consultancy? We can power up your team.

We automate the repetitive technical tasks in your studies and add geospatial analysis and in-house tools, without replacing your work.

Let's talk about a collaboration

What your firm gains

  • More studies with the same team

    The hours now spent on processing are freed up for new projects.

  • Faster delivery

    Shorter timelines for your clients, without sacrificing quality.

  • Consistent results

    The same methods in every study, with fewer manual errors.

  • More value for your clients

    Add viewers, models and dashboards to your reports.

Data that accumulates

Every project lays the groundwork for the next

The data, layers and results from your studies stay organized in a shared base, ready to be reused. Your next projects don't start from scratch and take far less time.

  1. Project 1

    We organize the data and automate the processes.

  2. Project 2

    Reuses data, layers and workflows from the previous one.

  3. Project 3

    Starts from an ever more complete base.

The name "Boreal Austral" was inspired by the boreal forests of Alaska and the austral forests of Patagonia: two opposite territories united by their majesty and the urgency of protecting them.

06 / Who we are

You talk directly with the person who designs and builds your solution

Boreal Austral was founded by Andrés Salazar Estay, an agronomist with a master's degree in Natural Resources, specialized in water resources and with extensive experience in geospatial analysis, remote sensing, environmental modeling and software development.

International experience

Andrés has collaborated on environmental and geospatial projects with universities, research centers, startups, governments and NGOs in Chile, Germany, the United States, Peru, Ecuador, Mexico and other countries. He has also attended international conferences in Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland, which keep him up to date with the latest scientific and technological advances.

Andrés Salazar Estay, founder of Boreal Austral, in front of a European Space Agency (ESA) backdrop

“Beyond studying ecosystems through data, I've had the opportunity to experience them firsthand, from the Amazon and Patagonia to Alaska and Iceland. Traveling through such naturally diverse landscapes has deepened my understanding of ecological processes and strengthened my ability to interpret spatial patterns, assess the ecological coherence of models and recognize when results make sense in the real world, beyond what the data show.”
