[ For Tree Service Companies ]

ESTIMATE THE TREE. NOT THE CHAOS.

Every tree is different — species, diameter, height, lean, hazards, access, proximity to structures. Your estimates can't come from a flat rate card. OPS captures the complexity of every job so your crew shows up knowing exactly what they're cutting, what equipment they need, and what's at risk.

[ THE PROBLEM ]

Every estimate is a custom job and nothing is repeatable

  • • Same species, same diameter — completely different price because of power lines, slope, and access
  • • Estimator eyeballs DBH and height from the ground, writes it on a napkin, and quotes from gut feel
  • • Crew arrives and the tree is bigger, leaner, or closer to the house than the estimate described
  • • No photos from the estimate visit — crew calls the office asking what they're looking at

For: Tree service companies where every job is a unique combination of species, hazards, and access conditions

$$$$$

Safety documentation exists on paper or not at all

  • • OSHA requires job hazard analyses and you do them on a clipboard that lives in the truck
  • • Near-miss incidents go unreported because there's no simple way to log them in the field
  • • ISA certifications, CDL expirations, and equipment inspections tracked in a filing cabinet
  • • Insurance audit asks for 12 months of safety records and you spend a weekend reconstructing them

For: Tree companies with OSHA compliance requirements and insurance documentation needs

Storm season is feast. Winter is famine. Neither is managed.

  • • One ice storm generates 60 emergency calls in 48 hours and you can only handle 8
  • • No way to triage which calls are hazard trees vs. cosmetic cleanup
  • • Winter months with zero revenue but crews still need hours to stay on payroll
  • • Seasonal workers disappear in October and you re-train new ones every March

For: Tree service owners managing feast-or-famine seasonal demand with small crews

[ THE SOLUTION ]

HOW OPS HANDLES IT

[ 01 ]

Estimates that describe the real job.

Capture everything during the site visit — species, DBH, height, lean direction, proximity to structures, power line clearance, access path for equipment, and photos from multiple angles. Your crew opens the job on the morning of the cut and sees the full picture. No surprises. No phone calls asking if the oak is 18 or 28 inches. No showing up with a 60-foot bucket when the job needs a 75.

[ 02 ]

Safety logs that exist without extra work.

Your crew lead opens the job, sees the hazard notes from the estimate, and logs their pre-job safety check — all on their phone. Photos of the work zone, notes on overhead hazards, and crew assignments are timestamped and attached to the job record. When the insurance auditor asks for documentation, you pull it up in minutes instead of spending a weekend with a filing cabinet.

[ 03 ]

Storm demand organized. Not chaotic.

When 60 calls come in after an ice storm, log them all as jobs immediately — address, description, photos if the customer sends them. Triage by hazard level: tree on a house gets dispatched today, cosmetic limb cleanup gets scheduled for next week. Your crew sees the priority queue on their phone and works through it systematically. No lost calls. No forgotten callbacks. No guessing which job is urgent.

[ 04 ]

Crew schedules that flex with the season.

During peak season, your schedule is full three weeks out. During winter, you're chasing pruning jobs to keep crews busy. OPS gives you visibility into both — you see capacity gaps before they become payroll problems, and you see overload before it becomes missed deadlines. Assign crews to jobs based on equipment needs and certifications, not just availability. The crew with the crane gets the 90-foot removals. The pruning crew gets the residential trims.

[ FREQUENTLY ASKED ]

STOP ESTIMATING FROM GUT FEEL.

Every tree is different. Your estimates should capture that — species, size, hazards, access, and equipment needs. OPS gives your crew the full picture before the saw starts.
