ORBO is a web-based conservation stewardship and land management platform that brings project information, documents, inspections, reporting, satellite imagery, potential change detection, tasks, alerts, and team activity into one system. It is designed to help organizations manage land more efficiently, document conditions consistently, and reduce administrative work.

ORBO Systems is tailored for land steward professionals of all organization sizes, from small local trusts to large national organizations. It serves staff managing land assets, conservationists, administrative personnel, and land managers. With its user-friendly design, ORBO Systems ensures that users of all skill levels can efficiently streamline workflows and handle land management tasks.

ORBO Systems works seamlessly for land management organizations across all 50 states and internationally. Its cloud-based design allows access from anywhere with an internet connection, supporting both remote and on-site management. Although our reach is extensive, there are a few exceptions based on specific seasonal logistics.

None! ORBO Systems is an easy-to-use web application platform created for land stewards. The platform’s intuitive design ensures that anyone, regardless of background or technical skills, can use it effectively. Whether you’re a seasoned expert or new to land management, ORBO Systems makes it easy to handle your tasks efficiently and effectively.

ORBO provides onboarding, training, and ongoing support from a team familiar with conservation stewardship and land management workflows. We help organizations set up their account, configure projects and workflows, train staff, and troubleshoot platform questions as they arise.

For projects using satellite monitoring, ORBO can provide recurring imagery for the property and use potential change detection to identify areas that may have changed between image dates. Those results are presented for staff review so users can investigate potential issues, document findings, and determine whether follow-up is needed. Change detection is a screening and decision-support tool; it does not automatically determine whether an easement or project requirement has been violated.

No. ORBO is designed to strengthen an organization’s monitoring and inspection program, not eliminate professional judgment or required field work. Satellite imagery and remote inspections can help staff review conditions between visits, document routine monitoring, and prioritize where an on-site inspection may be most valuable.

Yes. ORBO supports remote and on-site inspection workflows within the same project record. Staff can review imagery and project information remotely, or use ORBO during field visits to document observations, photos, notes, and location-based information. Inspection records can then be incorporated into reports and the project’s long-term history.

The ORBO BDR Generator is an AI-assisted workflow for creating Baseline Documentation Reports. It helps organize property information, source documents, maps, photos, field observations, and other project data into a structured report, reducing post-field administrative work while keeping staff review and approval in the process.

ORBO uses AI and machine learning selectively in four areas: extracting information from project documents, summarizing project activity and drafting report language, converting scanned documents into usable text, and flagging potential changes in satellite imagery. These tools are designed to reduce administrative work and support staff review. ORBO does not make autonomous land-management, compliance, enforcement, permitting, or policy decisions. AI-assisted outputs are reviewable and require human judgment before they are relied upon or distributed.

ORBO works with each organization to set up its account, add or import projects, configure the appropriate tools and workflows, and train staff. The exact onboarding process depends on the size of the portfolio and the services selected, but the goal is to get the team working in ORBO with as little disruption as possible.
