Arborgold
4.5/5 · 54 reviews“That everything has a digital record. The bid and everything about the job are inside Arborgold, which makes it simple and easy to look up customers, past jobs, addresses, etc.”
“When scheduling jobs through Arborgold, I would like it to integrate better with Google calendar and iPhone calendar.”
“Absolutely solved the problem of the estimator bidding a job and writing down the bid on a physical paper, only to have the paper lost by the bidder, office staff, or crew leader by the day of the job.”
“The loading (logging in, making a query) can be very slow.”
