ArbScribe
ArbScribe is a business management app for arborists and tree surgeons, combining customer records, scheduling, quoting and invoicing. Its quote builder can capture tree species, job locations, estimated crew hours and photos. The diary supports appointments and job scheduling with conflict detection. Crews can add members, assign surveyors and manage access, while bookings, quotes and job management are available offline on Android and iOS. Quote appointments and job bookings can sync with Google Calendar; Xero can sync contacts and upload invoices, but that integration is currently limited to the UK. The maker describes the product as suitable for businesses starting out as well as established crews, and offers a 14-day free trial, no setup fees and cancellation at any time. Pricing starts at £29.99, and a free plan is also listed. The site advertises UK-based support and a 30-minute personalized demo. Google Play says data is encrypted in transit and not shared with third parties, while noting the app may collect personal information, messages, photos and videos.
