10 Key Benefits to TreeKeeper 7®

1.) Cost efficiency:
TreeKeeper® will assist urban foresters in planning their work. Users can build work orders or create forms for contractor bids.

2.) Knowledge is power:
TreeKeeper® presents the urban forester with numerous advantages. Some examples of information that can be gathered: find all trees in poor condition, or determine how much money was spent on hazard reduction prunes in the past 6 months. With TreeKeeper® 7 this information is easily accessible.

3.) Better customer service:
When Mrs. Potter calls to report a low hanging limb, the urban forester can easily pull up a site report for that property, and issue any work records for the tree right with her on the phone! Imagine her surprise when you say: "I see you have two red maples in front of your house, one with 12 inch diameter and the other with 26 inch. Which one needs attention?"

4.) Its good for the trees:
TreeKeeper® 7 allows the urban forester to set up a 7 year trim cycle, insuring that all trees are cared for regularly. This means huge potential cost savings and more importantly, a healthy urban forest.

5.) Be Proactive, not Reactive:
Take care of problems before they happen. With TreeKeeper® 7, quickly locate trees growing under utility lines, and take appropriate action before it's too late.

6.) Budget effectively:
Demonstrate to tree boards and management the importance of increasing the urban forestry budget. Simply use the Tree Valuation Report, which is based on the 9th edition of the ISA Guide for Plant Appraisal, to calculate the worth of the urban forest.

7.) Accurate Mapping:
With TreeKeeper®'s addons (FKO GIS Browser or the ArcView® Extension), you can easily map the trees in your inventory. If Davey Resource Group does the inventory, maps will have submeter accuracy! GIS departments will love the new information, and how easily it can be integrated with their current system.

8.) Access Data in the Field:
You can also import the data from TreeKeeper® into a Palm® OS enabled device using the Palm® Tree Collector addon. This allows you to update the tree inventory in the field, while you are with the tree. It doesn't get easier than that!

9.) Get up to date:
TreeKeeper® is fully compatible with Microsoft Windows XP®. Davey Resource Group's IT department is able to convert many older databases, such as TreeKeeper® 5, TreeKeeper® 6, TreeKeeper® Jr., Tree Manager® for DOS, or Canopy® for DOS, directly into TreeKeeper® 7! Due to TreeKeeper®'s Internet foundation, TK7 will be around for years to come.

10.) Flexibility:
Not only can TreeKeeper® track trees, it can track many other infrastructures, such as Signs, Fire Hydrants, and Utility Poles. Davey Resource Group uses TreeKeeper® 7 to track technical support agreements and service calls! The sky is the limit with TreeKeeper®!
