What ArboStar is

ArboStar is a business management platform for tree-care companies, supporting work from estimates and scheduling through field operations and invoicing. Its estimate calculator uses preset prices, required tasks, job size, equipment, and man-hour rates to calculate estimates. Office and crew scheduling, employee location tracking, work-hour visibility, and payroll calculations help coordinate crews. A map view displays leads, ongoing jobs, and crew, equipment, and vehicle locations; equipment tools track condition and maintenance. ArboStar provides web access and iOS and Android apps, with offline support for field work in its mobile app. Listed integrations include QuickBooks, Xero, Sage, Fortnox, Google, Outlook, and Apple calendars, Google Maps, payment services, VoIP, and payroll products. The US Starter plan costs US$149 per month with annual billing and includes one full office license and one crew login. Growing costs US$249 per month with annual billing, includes two full licenses and three crew logins, and charges separately for additional licenses. Enterprise pricing is by custom quote.
