Simple, powerful, effective

To be frank, it did take some time for me to really wrap my mind around everything that Arbostar could do, but I'm glad that we switched to it. It's given us the tools to adapt and be flexible as our business changes and grows. The support team and management are always receptive to feedback, positive or negative, and that's one of the things that makes Arbostar so valuable. I genuinely get the impression that any suggestions or notes I send them are taken seriously and they're great at communicating.

Pros:

There are a ton of features, more so than any other CRM I've used. You're not forced into using all of them, so you can pick and choose the ones that best suit your business. The best part of that is that you can start by using it very simply and then gradually adopting the other features you'd like to use. It's a tool that gives you plenty of room to grow instead of immediately maxing it out and having to upgrade or switch tools. The customer support team is among the most responsive and dedicated that I've seen and they're a pleasure to work with. Far from being a static landscape, they're always working to improve it and add more features.

Cons:

The only negatives I can think of are things that are difficult for anyone to solve in a way that makes everyone happy. While there is a phone app, screen real estate is limited which means that some things can't be shown. That's a result of just having a smaller screen, but it does mean that some things are easier to do in the web version.

Reasons for choosing ArboStar

Arbostar simply beat Arborgold on features, price, and ease of use.

Reasons for switching to ArboStar

While Kickserv is a great application, it's not tailored for tree work and didn't allow us to include photos on line items on an estimate. SingleOps was kind of a dumpster fire and we switched away from that after about a month.

Powerful CRM for JS Tree Techs LLC

Overall, ArboStar has helped streamline operations and centralize the business. It’s a great tool for managing estimates, tracking leads, and staying organized as things scale. There’s room for improvement, but the core of the system is strong and it's actively improving. For a growing tree service company, it’s a valuable asset.

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

The all-in-one system really stands out. From quotes to scheduling and invoicing, it helps keep everything in one place, which saves a ton of time. The mobile functionality is helpful in the field, and the platform is built specifically for tree care businesses, which shows in the features. Their customer service has also been responsive and helpful whenever I’ve had questions.

Cons:

Some features feel clunky or unintuitive, especially when you're on the go. The quoting system is powerful, but adding services or adjusting pricing takes more clicks than I would like and makes the layout for the customer very long. Calendar syncing and appointment rescheduling can feel a bit slow/ awkward to use on mobile and desktop, but that is in part to the learning curve. Would love a way to have after the customer conforms the estimate it opens a window to schedule the crew but would have to be more in-depth not sure how it would work. The dashboard has a lot of options, which can be overwhelming at first, and takes time to learn.

Reasons for choosing ArboStar

Price overall and because of [sensitive content hidden]. He took his time and was upfront about everything. After have interactions with serval of the team when I Spread the word about Arbor star I explain the culture is a team that care to make a difference.

Arbostar: New and Exciting with a Bright Future

It feels like we are growing up together with Arbostar. We look forward to each and every update, because this product has great "bones" but it has so much more room for growth. Being able to follow all of our customers has been so critical, and the reports that took us hours now are readily available instantly! So much good, but the product functionality and features are buggy and cause frequent minor work disruptions. And I cannot express enough how much I hate the PDF/how the PDF displays optional line items.

Pros:

We are finally able to get critical metrics and follow up on client's in a way we were never able to before! This has boosted revenues and increased client loyalty. Seriously, bravo!

Cons:

The thing I like the least about Arbostar is the PDF provided to customers. They frequently get confused by the optional line items and almost never follow the link so they do not know that the option is "unselected". Shading it out looks BAD. It was the worst news to a very anticipated update.

Reasons for switching to ArboStar

First and foremost: pictures would take AGES to upload, causing HUGE disruptions in work flow. Secondarily: the lack of customer tracking.

My experience with ArboStar

My experience was and is very positive from demos to implementation to ongoing support and new feature requests. So thanks to the ArboStar and everyone in your team. I'm looking forward to the new features from the quarterly release! I think what I like the most about ArboStar is that its constantly evolving and improving and that I myself can request new features and in a few months can see them live in my system.

Pros:

I've been in tree care industry for about 10 years now. Started from the bottom I opened up my business torontoarborist.ca 7 years ago. After struggling with pen and paper approach for a couple of years and with constant growth I realized that it's time to look for something more advanced. I had demos with a number of different software systems, some specific to tree industry some general but I couldn't find something that I really liked. One of my guys recommended ArboStar because they used it in the last company he worked and everyone loved it there. I couldn't find much info about this product on the web but decided to give it a try. I had couple of presentations with [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] and was very impressed. Being a smaller company we didn't need something that advanced back then but I could see how having this system in place can help us grow so I decided to give it a try. The onboarding process took a bit longer than I was expecting because there were a lot of things that I had to set up in order to start using it effectively but after everything was ready to go and I started using it I could see a huge difference! CRM, client intake, and estimating became a breeze. Scheduling and payrol integrated became so easy to do. I could track productivity and expenses, basically, everything I needed to operate my business was there! I'm not going to list all the features here and even now I don't use all of them but I can honestly say that what I have now seriously improved my business.

Cons:

There is an app and a full web version of ArboStar. APP Is great because of the simplicity, speed and offline mode. ( I can do all the estimates even if there is no reception on my phone) but the app functionality is limited and for more serious tasks like newsletters mass emails, scheduling or finance module I still need to use the web version.

Reasons for choosing ArboStar

ArboStar had many more features compared to all the other systems I tried while being fast and easy to use. It just felt like the right fit for my business!

Reasons for switching to ArboStar

I needed a more advanced system that can cover all my business needs.

Pros:

I used ArboStar for over three years. Basically it was backbone of our business. We did everything there from payroll and accounting to estimating and invoicing. Features that I loved the most was communication, inbuily IP phone. All the communication with clients was done through computer ArboStar chrome extension. Incoming calls, outgoing calls, sms, followups, everything was Smooth and I could do the work from home or on mobile. Very convenient. Man hour return tracking function was great as I could easily see who's bringing there most money to the company. ArboStar was basically the only soft we used to manage multimillion business and it was very impressive.

Cons:

Nothing really, If there were some bugs I could just call the support and they would be fixed ASAP. Never lost even one production day on ArboStar. Only thing I can think of for improvement is checks printing. Would be cool to be able to print checks for paying subcontractors invoices right from the system.

Reasons for switching to ArboStar

Jobber was a great system when our company started up but it just lacked the features that we needed to grow. Also it wasn't a specific arborist software and many functions could be good for plumbers but were not relevant to tree industry.

Pros:

I used Arbostar for over a year. The features that I loved most was how easy it is to create detailed estimates with pictures and project schemes and how detailed pricing calculator they had. I can calculate work price based on target man hour return rates or based on the cost of the equipment that I need to do the work and personnel that is required to do the work. Automatic following up was a great features and it helped me improve my confirmation rates significantly. Lastly every day i used sales leaderboard feature to compare real time confirmation rates and other statistical numbers vs other estimators in the company. Overall, very happy with the product.

Cons:

When i started using the Arbostar, app lacked offline mode functionality meaning that if I was on site creating estimate and there were no reception I couldn't send it out. This was fixed with later released though. Now, If my tablet doesn't have internet, all the info is still saved in drafts and estimates do get send out once I have reception again.

Reasons for switching to ArboStar

The previous soft that our company used was way too complicated and looked like it was developed back in 90th. There were lot's of bugs in scheduling and marketing features. There was no pricing calculating feature which I didn't like as well. I'm happy with did switch to ArboStar. I can do my job much more efficiently now.

Pros:

I did all my work on ArboStar. Used it to access clients information, make tree inventories, arborist reports, estimates and so on. What I liked the most is how easy it was to start using the system. It's basically self explanatory. My college showed me how to use it for half a day and I was able to do all my work on it after. I didn't use all the features as my role was more on the estimating side but whatever I did use worked fast and really made my job easier.

Cons:

As an estimator I used app a lot in the field. When the client wants to confirm the job, there is an option on the app to add a signature but if the client doesn't want to sign I couldn't confirm the job unless I sign it myself instead of the client. Especially now with the Covid and social distancing some clients didn't want to come close or hold devices. Would be cool to add digital signing option through the email or something like this.

Reasons for switching to ArboStar

I used Arborgold in my previous company but it was a bit glitchy and slow so I'm happy that my new employer doesn't use it. ArboStar definitely helped me with my confirmation rates.
