Coverage

Three research passes converged on a compact specialist core: Arb Pro, ArbScribe and Treetask for UK contractor operations; ArboStar as the strongest UK-supported international specialist; and ClearCut/ArbHub for compliance-first arborist workflows. Broader trade and compliance platforms are retained as adjacent alternatives.

Research rounds

  1. Tree-surgery contractor software is distinct from arboricultural survey/tree-asset software. BS5837/BS3998 survey, GIS and estate-tree-management products are retained for a separate future market.
  2. The contractor workflow is commonly enquiry -> site survey -> tree-specific quote -> permissions/risk -> crew job pack -> work -> completion evidence -> invoice.
  3. Compliance-first is a real buyer situation rather than merely a feature checklist: specialist products exist for RAMS, PUWER/LOLER, HAVS, equipment inspections, qualifications and auditable site evidence.
  4. Current ArbHub product pages are compliance-first. Older ArbHub policy text referring to quotes/invoices is retained as historical research evidence but is not used as the current product description.
  5. ArbScribe exposes Starter/Pro/Enterprise in-app purchase amounts in the UK App Store, but the billing period is not established in current primary evidence, so the canonical starting-price claim remains unknown.
