Arborist Business, Accounting software and keeping a client register

Urban Treecare NZ · 10th May 2010, 08:30 PM

Hey Guys,
Just thought i would see what programs you guys use as for your accounting.... currently I use myob but find it doesnt help with specifics of tree work... I have seen that there is a few arborist specific programs like Arborgold, but they seem expensive for what the deliver... Also what programs are useful for keeping a customer base and reminders for scheduled maintainence, just thought i would test the waters.

Cheers

I use quickbook pro. Has everything i need. I know most big tree care comp. down here use it. And you would be surprise at how much microsoft office can do for you, ( that's also what i use). And im not spending thousands on software like arborgold, and have no worries about bugs. Who is bigger and has more expereacne, arborgold or quickbooks and microsoft?

I use a software which is not specialised with the tree word either (just as Quichkbooks). This is TioLive. I'm doing good with it. Maybe you will like it too.
