Bid the tree, not the property. Close before the crane lands.
Arborgold's UI is 2008. ServiceTitan doesn't know what a spider lift costs per hour. We're pricing per-tree by DBH, ANSI A300 Part 1 prune class, and equipment access — the way a real climber bids it.
Currently in private development
We're building Gladius for tree care. Operators on the waitlist get early access ahead of public launch, founder-direct setup support, and locked-in introductory pricing.
Q2 2027 early access.
What's coming
The tree care build, in plain English.
- Per-tree job costing by DBH, height, ANSI A300 Part 1 prune class, and removal vs trim vs PHC
- Equipment-specific pricing — bucket truck, spider lift, crane day-rate with operator and rigging time built in
- ISA Certified Arborist + TCIA CTSP credential tracker, OSHA 1910.269 fall-protection cert renewal alerts
- Plant Health Care recurring contracts — soil injection, deep root fertilization, IPM rounds with EPA reg numbers logged
- COI / CGL insurance verification per crew per job — auto-flag when a $2M GL doesn't cover the takedown over a pool
- Storm-response triage queue — priority-route Plan members, photo-document for insurance adjusters in one tap
Why we're building it
Most CRMs treat tree care like lawn care. The economics are different — a single crane day clears more revenue than a month of mowing, and one OSHA fall fatality ends the company. Software has to know that.
Common questions
The questions every operator asks first.
What about Arborgold? They've been in tree-care for decades.
Arborgold's UI is straight out of 2008. Operators we've talked to keep it because of muscle memory and inertia, not because they love it. Climbers and ground crews who grew up on iPhones are losing patience with desktop-only flows and 3-click workflows that should be 1-click. We're betting the next generation of tree-care owners switch on UX alone.
Why does ANSI A300 matter so much in your design?
Because the price difference between a Class I structural prune and a Class III hazard-clean prune is 4x — and the liability if you don't document which class was bid is real. Generic CRMs treat 'tree trimming' as one line item. Real tree-care economics need DBH, crown class, prune class, and equipment access (bucket vs spider lift vs crane) priced separately or you bleed margin.
Tree-care isn't shipped yet. Why the waitlist?
Q2 2027 is the target. The waitlist puts you ahead of public launch and gets you founder-direct setup when it's ready. Lighting is live today — the platform underneath (customer records, scheduling, billing, audit chain, Trust Console) all extends to tree-care without rebuilding from scratch.
How does the COI / CGL verification work?
Per-crew per-job. Upload your CGL once with limits — when a takedown over a pool gets bid, the system flags if your $2M GL doesn't cover the property's required $5M. Property owner's COI requirements get stored as a constraint; bids that violate them surface a warning before they go out the door. One OSHA fall fatality + an inadequate COI ends the company — software has to know that.
The full ecosystem
Eight verticals, one platform.
Eight verticals, one operating system. Lighting is live. The other seven open through 2026 and 2027 — join the waitlist for the one you run.
