Built by the team behind the open source statutory biodiversity metric.
Stock and quoting software. Built for habitat banks.
Every habitat bank runs this by hand: stock in spreadsheets, quotes rebuilt for every enquiry, allocations reconciled at quarter-end. abitat ops does all three from one record, sized to the statutory metric and held against your stock. Quote in seconds, and never sell the same parcel twice.
The problem
The work that eats your week.
Habitat banks don’t lose time because the work is hard. They lose it because the tools weren’t built for BNG.
Every enquiry means rebuilding a quote from scratch. Checking each habitat against every line of the developer’s deficit, applying the trading rules, the distinctiveness bands, the spatial and temporal multipliers, all by hand. Hours of optioneering before you can put a single number forward.
Then it has to stay consistent. Stock in one spreadsheet, quotes in another, allocations reconciled at quarter-end against half-remembered commitments. One transposed figure and you’ve over-committed a parcel you can’t deliver.
It’s slow, it’s manual, and it’s exactly the kind of work software should be doing.
What abitat ops does
Three jobs, one record.
Stock
Know what’s available, what’s sold, and what’s held back. Across every parcel, on every site. Sold is tracked alongside available, so what you see is what’s left. Ring-fence stock for deals you know are coming. Hectares, kilometres, biodiversity units: one record, three views.
Quoting
Match a developer’s deficit to your stock. Instantly. Paste the deficit and see the quote: every available habitat checked against every line of their metric. Trading rules, distinctiveness, temporal and spatial risk all applied, against the same maths the market is scored on. Stock is held the moment you quote, so you never race a colleague to the same parcel.
Reporting
Report allocations to responsible bodies, including those not yet on the register. Export the allocation picture at any date. In-flight commitments included, not just register-confirmed ones. Every commitment: who made it, when, and against which deal.
One record
No disagreements.
Stock, quotes and reports are one ledger seen three ways, so they can’t disagree. Quote a parcel and it leaves your available stock immediately. Report at any date and you’re reading that same ledger back. No syncing, no reconciliation, no version that’s wrong.
Why abitat ops
Built for the way habitat banks actually work.
Built on the open source statutory metric we maintain. The numbers in your quote line up with the numbers the developer’s own metric will produce.
Built for BNG from the ground up. Every quote sized to the metric, every parcel held against stock. No over-allocation. No double-booking.
Rounded in your favour. Conservative by design, so you can never over-commit: what you quote, you can always deliver.
Infrastructure, not intermediary. We never sit at the negotiating table or take a percentage. The deal is yours.
