Tree Service Scheduling Software: Stop Losing Track of Jobs

Purpose-built scheduling software for tree service companies. Drag-and-drop dispatcher, crew assignment, route planning, and GPS clock-in — all in one platform for Canadian arborists.

Scheduling is the operational backbone of every tree service company. When scheduling breaks down — double-bookings, forgotten jobs, crews showing up to the wrong address — it costs you money and damages your reputation. Purpose-built scheduling software eliminates these problems entirely.

The Dispatcher View

ArbreCRM's drag-and-drop dispatcher shows your entire week at a glance. Unscheduled jobs queue on the left side of the screen. Drag any job to any day to schedule it instantly. Reschedule by dragging between days — no forms, no clicks, no friction.

Each job card shows the client name, service address, job type, and status. Color coding distinguishes scheduled (blue), in progress (yellow), and completed (green) jobs. Emergency jobs are flagged red and always show at the top.

The Calendar View

The calendar view shows all jobs by day, week, or month. Click any job to open it directly. Filter by crew lead to see what each team member has scheduled. Print or export the week's schedule for crew members who prefer a paper copy.

Crew Assignment

Assign a named crew lead to each job so everyone knows who's responsible. Crew members can see their assigned jobs, address, gate codes, and special instructions before arriving on site — no phone calls needed.

GPS Clock-In / Clock-Out

Crew members clock in and out directly from the job page on their phone. ArbreCRM uses geo-fencing to verify they're within 200 metres of the job site address before allowing clock-in. Each clock-in is timestamped and recorded against the job — you have a complete time log for every job, useful for labor cost tracking and dispute resolution.

Route Planning

The built-in route planner takes all jobs for a selected day and clusters them by geographic proximity. Jobs within 15km of each other get grouped into an optimized route. For companies with 5–8 jobs per day, this can cut total drive time by 45–60 minutes — that's an extra job per day you could be doing instead of sitting in traffic.

Scheduling Integrations

ArbreCRM connects scheduling to the full job lifecycle. When a client approves a quote, you schedule the job directly from the quote page. When a job is completed, you create the invoice in one click. The scheduler isn't a standalone feature — it's the center of a connected workflow.

Emergency Job Handling

Storm damage calls require immediate response. ArbreCRM's emergency flag lets you mark any job as high priority — it floats to the top of your schedule and dispatcher view with a red badge. You can also set a fuel surcharge for emergency jobs that are far from your base.
