Affordable Software

[JovanMira425]

Does anyone know of decent tree care or business management software that can create, attach pictures while out on a site? And also something that has a mobile application, can be installed on an Ipad?

I have inquired with Jobber but I don't think it is what I am looking for.

We used ArboStar, pretty happy with it!

 

[JovanMira425]

Thanks for your recommendation.
I will check them out! How was the price point though?
Having a lot of options freaks me out!

I've been looking at Treezi. Just not convinced I will use it in the field to make it worth the cost. $45 per month for 1 or 2 crews.

Hi, do they have competitive pricing? I hope they have a feature to map trees and do an estimate on-site and can attach photos on it too.
What feature stands out with ArboStar?

I have been using Quick Books since they started and continued buying programs until they went online. I set up a computer for just QB and have a payroll service. Now that I am not so involved with employees I would not know how to start over. I had Peach Tree many years ago, but not sure if they are still active. Thanks

How many systems you have for Quickbooks? Does it help you with scheduling and equipment too?
I am looking for something that has like all access to everything. Been eyeing on this site ArboStar, looks promising..
But I wanted to see what's on the trend now..

Arbor Note has everything you want,

We've been using ArboStar for a year now, never failed us so far!

I knew someone who uses ArboStar already. Do you like it so far?

Quick Books realized that they could make tons more money by being 100% on line. That is that you pay a monthy service fee to keep your accounting active. In years past you would buy the latest version and take it home and use it unlimited, not any more. As mentioned there are some Arbor related programs that seem great however I do not have much experience with them. When it comes to payroll and depreciation there is no substitute for a savy operator. Thanks

so in Quickbook, am I only going to log in on one system for everything? accounting, schedule, estimate? or it has several log in depending on which work you need

For payroll, I like ZPay - very easy to use. It is pretty cheap...$90 for first time and $45 per year.

I've heard with ArboStar, everything is in there already. I like it when I can oversee everything in one system, payroll, scheduling, creating estimates, invoicing..

I honestly don't know...I only need it on 1 machine. I'm guessing you need a license for each install, but they have been really good at responding on their support forum they few times I've had questions.

 

[KingBeee]

It's great to have that kind of support if you'll be spending in a good software.

In the current version of Quick Books you can set up as many accesses as you want. The system works by allowing the QB website to hold data and the program in their possession until you decide you no longer want to use it. You pay a monthly fee to maintain it. The older systems allows you to have the entire program in your possession, but some features are not as up to date. I have heard that there are some great programs that could meet every ones needs. Several AS people have made recommendations. Thanks
