Not Just a CRM. A Business Coach for Your Tree Care Company.

A consultant interviews you, asks for exports, writes a report and leaves. ArboStar runs the company day to day, so every recommendation becomes a setting, a workflow or a dashboard inside the system your office and crews already use. The fix is applied, measured and reviewed the next quarter. There is no separate coaching invoice: the business review, the business audit and your success manager are part of working with ArboStar.

Established tree care companies commonly report net margins somewhere in the 10 to 25 percent range, with labor the largest cost at roughly 30 to 45 percent of revenue. Most owners cannot say where they sit in that range by crew or by service, because margin is never measured job by job. ArboStar measures it, so you can compare your company to the range and to your own previous year.

Work backwards from the man-hour rate. Take the crew hours a job actually consumed, including loading, driving and cleanup, and divide them into what you invoiced. If that number is below the rate you need to cover wages, equipment, insurance and profit, the estimate was wrong, not the crew. ArboStar shows the achieved man-hour rate on every completed job and by estimator, so pricing stops being a gut feeling. Try the ROI calculator with your own numbers first.

All ten numbers are defined in the ArboStar Standard, and every one of them is a standard report in ArboStar: no exports, no spreadsheets. In coaching we review them with you against your own previous year. See sales reporting, financial reporting and crew efficiency.

Every hour a crew spends on the road is an hour you pay for and cannot invoice. Companies that schedule by geography and keep crews in one area for the day routinely recover 30 minutes or more of billable time per crew per day. ArboStar's live job map, GPS tracking and route-aware scheduling make drive time visible, which is the first step to cutting it.

No. The free business audit, your success manager, the live webinars and the Education Hub are part of ArboStar. See pricing for plans, and the Easy Migration program if you are switching from another system.

Yes. A two-crew company feels every pricing mistake and every slow invoice immediately, which is exactly when clear numbers matter most. The same review and the same dashboards scale from one truck to multi-office operations; see our multi-location and franchise page if you run several branches.

Practicing arborists and tree care business owners who run companies on ArboStar, together with our own product team. Sessions cover pricing, crew productivity, getting paid faster, reducing owner dependency and tracking the numbers that drive growth. Recordings are free on the webinars page.

Request a free business audit. Our tree care specialist calls you back, asks a few questions about how you run, and we prepare the audit from that call: you never hand over your books, and everything you share stays private. We come back with the first three things worth fixing. If you decide to move to ArboStar, implementation, training and data migration are included.
