ArborDash mobile app on a smartphone showing branded login, crew schedule, and time tracking

Tree care happens in the field. Your crews live on their phones — clocking in, checking the day's stops, taking job photos, capturing customer signatures. And your customers want a real app to track work, pay invoices, and request service. The web dashboard is where the office runs the business; mobile apps are where the work actually happens. ArborDash gives you both, native, and entirely under your brand.

Most tree care platforms either have no mobile app, or they ship one generic app with their company name and logo plastered on it — embarrassing when your customer downloads 'TreeBoss CRM' and figures out you're using off-the-shelf software. ArborDash takes a different approach. We build per-tenant branded native apps for iOS and Android: your logo on the home screen icon, your company name in the App Store and Play Store listing, your colors on every screen, and a domain that points back to your dashboard. As far as the world knows, it's your app.

Crew apps include everything a field team needs: schedule view with the day's stops, GPS clock-in/out, drag-to-arrive route navigation, job checklists, photo capture and tagging, e-signature collection, time tracking against payroll, real-time messaging with the office, and offline mode for low-coverage areas. Customer apps are a self-service portal: estimates to approve, invoices to pay, service history to review, request-a-quote forms, and a direct line to chat with your team.

Distribution is straightforward. iOS apps go through the App Store as unlisted listings — technically public but not findable in search, so only people you invite can install. Android apps are sideloaded as direct APK downloads, no Play Store needed if you'd rather not deal with it (though we can list there too). The whole publishing process is handled for you as part of onboarding so you're not learning Apple Developer and Codemagic on your own.

What's included

  • Native iOS app on the App Store under your company name (unlisted by default)
  • Native Android app via direct APK or Google Play, your call
  • Your logo as the app icon on every device's home screen
  • Your colors and branding through every screen, splash, and notification
  • Crew time tracking with GPS clock-in/out and payroll sync
  • Job updates and photos uploaded straight from the field
  • Push notifications in your branding (job assignments, customer messages)
  • Background GPS so dispatch sees crew locations live
  • Customer self-service with estimate approval, invoice payment, and service requests
  • Offline mode for crews working in low-signal areas

How It Works

  1. Send us your logo, brand colors, and the app name you want — we configure your build.
  2. We submit the iOS and Android apps to the App Store and Play Store under your company name.
  3. Once approved (~1–2 weeks), your team and customers can download the app from the store or via direct link.
  4. Web updates to your dashboard ship instantly to the apps — no waiting on store re-review for everyday changes.
  5. Need a major UI change? You request it, we publish a store update under your account.

Your customer downloads YOUR app, not ours

Try this with another tree care platform: ask their customers to download the app and see what happens. They'll get a generic vendor-branded app that says "Powered by" the software company. With ArborDash, your customer downloads an app called your company name, with your icon on their home screen. There's no other tree care software that ships per-tenant native apps with this level of brand isolation.

Hand your crews a real app. With your name on it.

Mobile Apps FAQ

Are these real native apps or just a wrapper?
They're real native apps built with Capacitor, distributed through the App Store and Play Store. Push notifications, background GPS, native camera access, biometric login, and offline storage all work the way users expect from a native app — because they are.
Do I need an Apple Developer account?
For iOS, yes — Apple requires a $99/year Developer account in your company name to publish to the App Store. We walk you through the signup. For Android, you can publish to Google Play with a one-time $25 fee, or skip the Play Store entirely and distribute via direct APK download (no fee). It's your call.
How do customers find the app?
By default the iOS listing is unlisted — not findable in App Store search. You give customers a direct download link via SMS or email. Android can be the same with direct APK, or listed on Google Play if you prefer search visibility. Either way you control discovery.
How long does first-time publishing take?
Once you have the developer accounts set up, we submit the apps for review within a few days. Apple review typically takes 1–2 weeks. Google Play is usually a few days. After the initial publish, web changes hit your apps instantly — only major native changes need store re-review.
Can I have a separate crew app and customer app?
Yes. Many tree care companies run two distinct apps from the same ArborDash backend: one for the crew (with field tools and time tracking) and one for customers (with portal-style self-service). Both are branded as your company.
