Tree service software

Tree service software

Tree service software for removals, pruning and stump grinding: quote with marked-up photos, put crews on the calendar, send the day’s route to the crew lead and bill the job when it’s done.

How it works

How tree service software runs a removal

  1. Catch the leadWebsite forms, Google Ads lead forms, CallRail calls and forwarded marketplace emails land on one board, and follow-ups are counted for you. Homeowners can also book an estimate on your online booking page.
  2. Walk the propertyBook the estimate with your own appointment type and questions: how many trees, how close to the house or the lines, room for the truck. Photos from your phone go into the deal’s Site photos folder.
  3. Quote with marked-up photosAdd a photo to the quote, circle each tree, draw the drop zone and write notes. Price removals by size class, pruning by the hour and stump grinding per stump from your book.
  4. Offer choicesQuote the removal and the stump grinding separately and send both on one link. The homeowner picks one or both, and signs online or on your tablet.
  5. Schedule the crewBook the job on the calendar with your own job type and its length, pick who goes, and drag it to another day when the weather turns.
  6. Route the day and bill itPlan the route from the yard, add the dump site as a stop, send it to the crew lead’s chat, and bill from the payment plan when the work is done.

Choosing software

What to look for in tree care software

Photos on the estimate

Tree work is hard to describe in words. Look for photos and markup that travel with the quote, so the crew and the homeowner see the same trees.

Pricing that fits the work

Removals by size, pruning by the hour, stumps by the each and a minimum charge for small calls. Make sure the software takes your way of pricing.

Crews, routes and the yard

Check how the day reaches the crew: stops in order, the dump site, tasks, and directions that open on the phone.

Recurring care, if you sell it

Plant health care programs and yearly contracts run as service plans: visits repeat on a schedule and bill per visit or monthly.

Questions

Tree service software questions

Is there a tree service app for the crew?

ECHOPS runs in the phone’s browser and adds to the home screen, so the crew lead opens the day’s route from chat, with directions and a call button for each stop. It needs a connection; an iPhone app is on the way.

Can I use it as tree service scheduling software for several crews?

Yes. Each job goes on the calendar with its type, length and who goes, and you see the week person by person. Longer jobs can run as projects on the weekly schedule. There’s no equipment calendar, so note the truck or grinder in the job’s tasks.

Can I price by tree size or by the hour?

Yes. Make an item for each size class you use at a set price, price pruning by the hour and stumps by the each, and add a minimum charge for small jobs. Behind each price go the crew hours at each role’s rate, sub prices such as a crane, and fees like dumping.

Does ECHOPS track crews by GPS?

No. You plan the route and send it to the crew lead’s chat, and directions open in the phone’s maps app. ECHOPS doesn’t track trucks or phones.

Can homeowners pay online?

Yes. The signed quote’s payment plan becomes the invoices, and clients pay the invoice link by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or bank transfer (ACH). Payments taken another way are recorded by hand.

How much does tree service software cost with ECHOPS?

Plans start at $149 a month for Solo with 3 users; Crew is $299 with 8 and Company $599 with 20. Each extra user is $25 a month, and paying for a year costs 10 months. With our special price, your first two months are $49, $59 or $69 a month. Start with a 14-day free trial, no credit card.
