🌳 Managing vegetation around power lines, railways, and highways

Managing vegetation around infrastructure like power lines, railways, and highways is no small feat. For the teams on the ground, the job is demanding. For operations leads and IT decision-makers, the challenge lies in creating a system that brings clarity, control, and efficiency to inherently unpredictable fieldwork.

At MightyFields, we’ve supported the clearance of over 10,000 spans across the UK and EU, partnering with leading vegetation management companies. Here’s what we’ve learned from real-world deployments that can help your digital transformation avoid pitfalls—and drive results.

Fact  #1

Predictable + Reactive = Real Life

Span management rarely follows a clean, linear path. You’re dealing with multiple landowners, changing weather conditions, last-minute permissions, and sometimes emergency cuts. A rigid system breaks quickly under that kind of pressure.

That’s why flexibility is everything. With MightyFields, these variations are built-in and easy to manage—no developer required.

With the goal of maintaining momentum in the field, even when conditions shift, our clients need to:

Reopen closed spans when permissions arrive late

Flag and schedule shutdowns easily

Launch reactive cut workflows instantly

FACT  #2

Offline Isn’t Optional

From deep rural zones to mountainous terrain, vegetation work often happens where connectivity is weak—or nonexistent. That’s where offline capability stops being a feature and becomes mission-critical.

And the consequence of offline-first? Field workers access all information when and where they need it—and operations move forward, uninterrupted. Without a doubt.

MightyFields users:

Work fully offline and sync automatically once connected

Complete reports in real time—no data loss, no double work

Keep field teams independent and efficient, wherever they are

Fact  #3

Empowering Subcontractors = Faster Delivery

Subcontractors play a central role in vegetation management. But onboarding and managing them is often a bottleneck.

With MightyFields, subcontractors get paid faster. Project managers gain visibility. Everyone wins.

What we’ve seen in the field:

Teams are up and running within a day

No training sessions needed—just download the app and go

Built-in guidance ensures consistent data capture across all teams

Fact  #4

One Platform, All Processes

Vegetation management is just the start. Clients like Scottish Woodlands have scaled their use of MightyFields across railway clearance, ecology compliance, and more.

Why? Because one platform can handle it all—with the flexibility to adapt as business needs evolve.

From surveys to final clearance and compliance reporting, you define the workflows. And when a new process arises? Add it yourself in minutes.


MightyFields has revolutionised our operations. The cost savings are substantial, and our office team now spends their time on process improvements and data analysis rather than chasing reports. Our clients love the timely, well-structured data delivered directly to their systems—it’s elevated our service quality significantly.
