A day on the job
The morning after a storm.
A wind storm has come through and the parks department needs to know which trees along a busy corridor are a risk. Here's how a crew works it in RootFlare.
1. See the corridor
The inventory's trees on a map, each pin coloured by its latest rating.
2. Start at the tree
Each arborist picks the tree on their own phone and starts a fresh assessment.
3. Keep working without signal
Everything saves on the phone and syncs to the shared account when it's back online.
4. Find the high risks
Filter every assessment by rating, status and date to see what needs work first.
What's included
For the people who look after a city's trees.
Your whole team
Invite staff to one shared account of trees, assessments and reports. Organizations include unlimited people.
Bring in your inventory
Import the existing tree list from CSV, Excel or GeoJSON, matched by your own tree IDs.
Back to your GIS
Export trees with their latest ratings as GeoJSON or CSV for ArcGIS or QGIS.
Risk on the map
Every located tree pinned and coloured by its latest rating.
Reports that stay as sent
A report is a frozen version. A change makes a new version, and the one you sent never changes.
A record that's kept
Final assessments are archived, never deleted, and every tree keeps its full history.
Offline in the field
Parks and ravines with no signal are no problem; work syncs when the phone is back online.
ISA form export
Export to ISA Basic Tree Risk Assessment Form, filled from the same assessment.
FAQ
Questions arborists ask.
Can we import our existing tree inventory?
Yes. Import a CSV, Excel or GeoJSON file of up to 5,000 trees at a time into an inventory. Your own tree IDs are kept, and later imports match on them instead of making duplicates.
Does RootFlare replace our work order or asset management system?
No. RootFlare records trees, risk assessments and reports. It doesn't schedule crews or track work orders. Export your trees with their latest ratings as GeoJSON or CSV to bring them into the systems you already use.
How many staff can use it?
The Organizations plan includes unlimited people, from $1,500 a year. Get in touch and we'll set it up with you.
Can a report be changed after it's sent?
No. A report never changes once it's made; a correction is a new version beside it, so the record shows what was sent and when. Final assessments are archived, never deleted.
Does it work in parks with no cell service?
Yes. Field mode saves every change on the device and syncs when it has a connection, on phones, tablets and laptops.
