Arborgold

Arborgold is field service management software for tree care, lawn care and landscape businesses, covering the sequence a green industry company actually runs: capture a lead, bid it, schedule it, route the crew, manage the job, invoice it and collect payment. Tracking everyday expenses and preparing time cards for payroll are included in the same system, which is the part that usually sits outside field service tools and causes the double entry.

Job costing is the module worth examining first. Arborgold surfaces real-time profit trends, lets you build pricing benchmarks as you go, and gives visibility across labour, materials, equipment and overhead as distinct cost centres. That separation is what makes the numbers useful. A tree care job that looks profitable on labour alone can lose money once the chipper, the disposal and the drive time are counted, and a system that reports revenue without cost structure will not tell you which services to stop selling.

Tree and plant inventory is carried as a feature in its own right, which distinguishes this from generic field service software. Green industry work is asset-based: the thing being serviced is a specific tree at a specific address with a history, and holding that record is what turns a one-off removal into a recurring plant health care contract.

Payments are handled natively through Arborgold Payments, accepting credit card, debit card and ACH bank transfer from any internet-enabled device, for individual invoices or monthly recurring service invoices. Recurring invoicing matters for maintenance contracts, which are the revenue that carries these businesses through slow seasons.

Other coverage includes CRM, calls and appointments, proposal estimating, email marketing and automation, consumer financing, project management, scheduling, resource and supply chain management, a customer portal, time tracking with GPS, and separate mobile apps for sales teams and crews plus a QR-based mobile crew tool. Websites and digital marketing, digital proposals, integrations, support and training round out the offering. Industries served extend to lawn care, landscaping, plant health care, pest control and snow removal. Plans start at $129 per month on an annual contract.
