Dispatch software for tree service owners

Tree service dispatch software

Your crew reaches the property ahead of the chipper and spends the morning waiting for it. Smarfle plans gear and people as one thing, and carries the site hazards onto the job so nobody discovers them standing under a limb.

Why generic dispatch software fails tree service owners

Generic dispatch tools weren’t built for tree service. Smarfle was.

Generic dispatch software

What everyone else gives you

  • The chipper and the crew arrive separately
  • A finished job is reported when the crew gets back
  • Hazard notes were in the estimator's head
  • Moving a crew means finding a foreman on a saw

Step-by-step

How tree service dispatch works in Smarfle

From the first touch to the closed loop. No missing pieces.

  1. 1

    The evening before, the trailers are allocated

    Gear and people are paired up, so nobody spends a morning waiting on a machine that is two suburbs away.

  2. 2

    Seven in the morning, hazards are already known

    Power lines, the drop zone and the difficult neighbor are on the job before anybody arrives.

  3. 3

    Mid-morning, a removal takes longer than quoted

    The crews behind it are moved on the board while there is still time to do it.

  4. 4

    When the last limb is down

    Stump, debris and the cleared area are photographed from the property.

  5. 5

    Four o'clock, the trailer is needed elsewhere

    Where the equipment actually is shows on the board rather than being found by phone.

Where tree service dispatch breaks down

The friction every tree service owner recognizes.

✕

The crew arrives before the chipper

Equipment and people are scheduled separately, so one of them spends the morning waiting for the other.

✕

Hazards stay with the estimator

Whatever the estimator wrote down about access and overhead cables stayed on the estimate, so the people doing the work find out the hard way.

✕

A wind day is eighteen phone calls

Every customer on a closed day gets rung individually, and the rest of the week shifts while that happens.

The math for tree service owners

One chipper, three crews

The equipment decides the order, not the addresses. A crew that arrives before the chipper does stands and waits, and with three crews sharing two trailers that happens most weeks unless somebody sequences it deliberately.
