The Tree Service Invoice App Built for Field Work

Why Tree Service & Arborists Need a Dedicated Field Invoicing App

Tree services take on high-risk technical work, deploy heavy chippers and bucket trucks, and deal with immediate storm damage emergencies.

• Emergency storm damage callouts: Fallen trees on houses or driveways require fast, insurance-ready itemized estimates on the spot.
• Equipment and crane mobilization fees: Separate specialized equipment charges (crane, bucket truck, skid steer) from crew labor hours for clear client accounting.
• Working in rural and heavily wooded deadzones: Forested areas and acreage properties have notorious cellular deadzones. 100% offline operation prevents lost quotes.
• Instant PDF quotes that convert upon completion: Walk the property with the client, send a PDF estimate via WhatsApp, and convert to an invoice when the chips are cleaned up.

How Arborists Create an Invoice in Under 2 Minutes

The entire workflow is built for hands covered in dust, grease, or paint — right from the front seat of your van:

1. Step 1 — Select or Add Customer: Tap customer name or enter their job address once. The app saves it for all future visits.
2. Step 2 — Pick Saved Materials & Labor Rates: Add trade-specific items with one tap. Quantity, unit prices, and tax calculate automatically.
3. Step 3 — Convert Estimate to Invoice in 1 Tap: Already sent a pre-job quote? Hit "Convert to Invoice" when the work is approved. No duplicate entry.
4. Step 4 — Send PDF & Get Paid: Export a branded, high-resolution PDF and share directly via WhatsApp, SMS, or email before packing up your tools.
