Maple field-tech studio

Field ideas turned into useful tools.

Samares et Sablier designs, supports and brings to market solutions that simplify work in maple operations: software, connected tools, accessories and projects born in the woods.

Maple-focused portfolio

One root, several tools.

We build our own products and support ideas that answer real field frustrations, from digital tracking to connected tools.

Perfect-O

Perfect-O

Perfect-O started from a clear need in the sugar bush: make tapping more consistent, precise and ergonomic.

We support this producer-designed tool so it stays simple to use, rugged in the field and useful for teams that tap a lot of trees.

PIC

PIC

PIC brings connected intelligence to Perfect-O with a GPS module and mini-computer designed to document tapping while the work is happening.

It opens the door to more precise field tracking without asking producers to slow down.

L°Entailleur

Our vision for L’Entailleur is to help every maple producer build a digital twin of their sugarbush: a faithful representation of its territory, infrastructure and operations that evolves alongside the reality of the field.

SHACK will soon extend this vision and bring the digital world even closer to the field.

From field to tool

A way of building that stays close to producers.

Every project starts with a concrete observation, then moves through prototypes, field trials and improvements with the people who will actually use it.

01

Understand the field

Start from real maple operations to identify what slows people down, gets lost or makes the season harder to manage.

02

Prototype what helps

Turn an idea into something testable without losing sight of the constraints of the woods, the sugar shack and the team.

03

Support the next step

Help the product grow through web presence, commerce, content and improvements shaped by field feedback.
