ArbreCRM is field service software designed for arborists and tree service companies — bilingual EN/FR, TPS/TVQ and US sales tax, ISA safety checklists and municipal permit tracking built in from day one.
This page is the complete guide: what arborist software should do, every feature ArbreCRM includes, what it costs, and how it compares to ArboStar, Jobber and SingleOps.

A tree service job has a shape that generic software doesn't fit: a site visit, a quote with options, a permit, a crew on a schedule, a safety check, photos, an invoice with the right taxes. Here is how ArbreCRM handles each step, with a link to the page that goes deeper.
An arborist quote is written standing under the tree, not at a desk. ArbreCRM lets you build the estimate on your phone during the site visit: pick the service, add the species and size, attach the photos you just took, and send a branded PDF before you leave the driveway. Offer A, B and C options (removal with stump grinding, removal only, crown reduction) so the client chooses between your prices instead of between you and the next bidder. Clients approve and sign from the email, and an approved quote becomes a scheduled job with one tap.
Arborist estimate softwareJobs go on a calendar by day, week or month, and a drag-and-drop dispatcher moves them between days and crews. Each job has a crew lead, and the crew sees only their own day on their phone. GPS clock-in only accepts a punch within 200 m of the site, so hours land on the right job without a paper timesheet. Weather alerts flag scheduled jobs when high wind is forecast, and a rain-day SMS tells every affected client at once.
Crew scheduling softwareThe invoice is built from the job, so the line items, taxes and client details are already there. Email it with a payment link, take cards online, track what is overdue, and sync to QuickBooks. Canadian companies get GST/HST and TPS/TVQ calculated automatically with your registration numbers printed on every document; US companies get state sales tax support and USD pricing.
Tree service invoicingEvery client gets a portal through a magic link in their email: no app, no password. They see their quotes, approve work, pay invoices, request new service and upload permit documents. Automated review requests go out after the job closes. On the Crew plan an AI receptionist answers the phone when you are up a tree, takes the lead, and books the site visit.
AI receptionistTrees are records, not free text. Each one carries species (18 Quebec species are pre-loaded), size, location on the property, hazards and photos, and the history of every job done on it. A structured ISA-style tree risk assessment produces a report you can hand to the client or their insurer, and a cabling report covers support systems.
All featuresA pre-job safety checklist (PPE, exclusion zone, power line proximity, equipment check) must be completed before the job starts, and the record stays with the job. A municipal permit tracker shows whether a permit is not required, pending, approved or denied, with the permit photo attached. Jobs near Hydro-Québec lines are flagged so the crew knows to call before cutting.
Tree removal softwareCrew update job status, upload before and after photos, read gate codes and notes, and clock in and out from any smartphone. The route planner clusters nearby jobs and cuts drive time for crews with five or more stops a day. Equipment, chipper fuel, materials and debris disposal are logged per job.
Field service managementRevenue and tax reports are built in, with a CSV export for your accountant. Crew hours carry hourly rates, so labour cost per job is on the timesheet, and materials, debris and fuel logged against the job roll up into a monthly profit and loss report. The dashboard shows today’s jobs, open quotes, overdue invoices and the weather in one screen.

Who builds it
ArbreCRM was built in the cab of a chip truck between jobs. The founder runs a tree service company in Quebec, and every CRM he tried was built for plumbers or generic field service. None of them understood tree species, stump queues, permits or bilingual invoices, so he built his own and still runs his crews on it every day.
That is why the species list, the stump grinding queue, the wood volume estimator, the Hydro-Québec line alert and the rain-day SMS exist: a real tree company needed them. When something is missing, it gets added because a crew asked for it, not because a sales team did.
Arborist software is business software built around how a tree service company works: quotes written at the tree, jobs scheduled by crew, permits and safety records tied to each job, and invoices that carry the right taxes. ArbreCRM is arborist software for companies in the US and Canada, covering quoting, scheduling, crew time tracking, invoicing, a client portal and reporting in one tool.
Generic field service tools were built for plumbers and electricians. They have no tree species, no stump queue, no permit tracker, no ISA-style safety checklist, and they treat Canadian TPS/TVQ as something you configure yourself. Arborist software has those built in, so a tree company is working with records that match the job instead of forcing it into a generic ticket.
ArbreCRM is $49 USD/month (Solo, up to 2 users), $79 USD/month (Pro, up to 6 users) or $149 USD/month (Crew, up to 25 users). There are no per-user fees inside a plan, no module upsells and no contract. Canadian customers see a daily-updated CAD estimate on the pricing page.
Yes. US companies get USD pricing and state sales tax support, and everything else works the same: quoting, scheduling, GPS clock-in, invoicing with online payment and QuickBooks sync.
Yes. The interface, PDF quotes and invoices, emails and the client portal all work in English and French with a one-click toggle, and TPS/TVQ are calculated automatically for Quebec companies.
Yes. Crew members get their own login and see only their day: the jobs, gate codes, notes, safety checklist, clock-in and photo upload. It runs in the phone’s browser and can be installed to the home screen, so there is nothing to download from an app store.
Yes. Customers, invoices and payments sync to QuickBooks Online, so your accountant works from the books, not from screenshots.
