Service Assistant: Save time and money managing your business

What is Arborist Software?

Arborist software is a tool that helps arborists manage the daily operations of their tree service businesses. This means having one platform to track job estimates, invoices, crew schedules, and more.

With arborist & tree service software, you can streamline your workflow, improve communication with clients, and make better decisions about tree care. In short, it’s a powerful tool that can help you run your tree service business more efficiently.

If you’re considering investing in arborist software, here are a few things to keep in mind:

  1. Ease of Use: Look for a centralized platform that’s easy to use and navigate. You should be able to find what you need without any hassle.
  2. Customer Support: Make sure the software company offers excellent customer support in case you have any questions or run into any problems.
  3. Scalability: Choose a platform that can grow with your business. You don’t want to outgrow your software in a few years and have to start from scratch.
  4. Price: Compare pricing plans to find one that fits your budget. Keep in mind that you get what you pay for, so don’t skimp on features just to save a few bucks.
  5. Features: Make sure the software has all the features you need. If there’s something missing, chances are you’ll end up paying extra for it later on.

Whether you’re just starting out or looking to revamp your tree service business processes, tree care software can provide an advanced business management platform. This is a great investment that can help take all landscaping companies to the next level.

Service Assistant® – The All-in-One Arborist & Tree Care Business Software

Tree care professionals have unique business challenges and need a distinctive arbor care software that can manage their tree care companies. They need Service Assistant (SA) – the only tree care service software you’ll ever need while in the office or in the field. It works especially well for tree service companies that also offer other services such as landscapinglawn care or pest control. Our tree care software not only automates daily operations, but it also helps generate leads to grow the business in automated marketing.

It’s very versatile. With our unique arbor software, data can be entered from the field and accessed by staff in the office. It works on any platform – from Apple to Windows and is accessible from your home, vehicle, or office with seamless 24/7 access.

Office staff, sales teams, and crews in the field can stay connected throughout the busy workday using this all-in-one program.

Tree Service CRM: Track Customer Calls and Job Requests

Service Assistant offers a user-friendly, detail-rich, integrated sales and contact management system that stores everything in one place, in an easy-to-read format, keeping you current on all contact points with every customer. You can follow every customer communication, helping to improve response time and customer satisfaction. Use Service Assistant to follow up on every call to your business, every email you receive, and every completed web contact form.

Arborist Crew & Job Scheduling

Use our Scheduler to set appointments, manage appointments, map job locations, and more. Viewed as a calendar, the Scheduler allows users to see service history, color code jobs by distance, service type, routes, and more. Hover over each entry to view service details. Edit details on the fly such as start/end time, date of service, etc. You can easily remove jobs from the Scheduler or even block unavailable time slots so that no work can be booked on specific days or at inconvenient times.

When mapping appointment locations, Scheduler allows driving time and production time to be separated out for more accurate accounting. Then, view appointments by either the shortest distance, shortest travel, or by service time. Schedule crews by route availability to maximize your manpower and ensure that your mobile and virtual workforces are in sync.

Create and Manage Arbor Care Work Orders and Other Documents

Tree care companies will find that Service Assistant can handle any job — plus it’s flexible enough to handle any “special” work orders. Multiple tabs allow users to select by category or sub-category, products, and application methods. Tailor Service Assistant to your business needs by setting up category parameters for the tree inventory you use. You can even enter an estimated cost, duration, and materials.

Service Assistant’s Document Manager feature helps you manage and master every document you’ll need for every job. Easily retrieve whatever you need and access information to print work orders, create customized mailings, or contact customers.

Maximize Production and Optimize Routes with Real-Time GPS and Turn-by-Turn Maps

Our interactive routing program, known as Routing Assistant, allows you to map out the most efficient routes, maximizing service production time and saving money.

Once parameters are set up, the visual route designer can automatically route new sales based on the type of service or location.

These optimized routes maximize crew production by reducing travel time between customers, which allows for more customers per day and reduces fuel costs. Routing Assistant uses geocoding to convert addresses into map coordinates. Crews get real-time GPS and can even print maps with turn-by-turn directions.

What is the difference between an arborist and a landscaper?

Arborists specialize in the care and maintenance of trees and have a deep understanding of the biology, anatomy and proper care of trees. They provide services including pruning, disease diagnosis and treatment, and tree removal. Landscapers design and create outdoor spaces. While they also work with trees, their focus is on the overall aesthetic of spaces like gardens and landscapes, so they may not have the specialized knowledge of an arborist when it comes to tree care.
