What TreePlotter does

TreePlotter is the commercial product brand of PlanIT Geo, a privately held software company headquartered in the Denver metropolitan area (Wheat Ridge mailing address, Arvada-listed firmographic city) that builds a web-based GIS platform purpose-built for urban forestry asset management. The platform enables organizations to collect, manage, and analyze tree inventory data in real time on any desktop or mobile device, with both online and offline field data collection capabilities and unlimited-user access per organization. Core products are TreePlotter INVENTORY (the primary tree inventory and asset management application) and TreePlotter CANOPY (an urban forest canopy analysis and planning tool), supplemented by a modular add-on catalogue that includes Work Order Management, three jurisdiction-specific tree appraisal frameworks (CTLA 9th/10th Editions for North America, CAVAT for the UK, Melbourne Appraisal Method), NatureScore ecological scoring, Map Scenarios, Community Engagement Maps, Landing Pages, and a Crowdsourcing module. The platform integrates with i-Tree for ecosystem benefits calculations (carbon storage and sequestration, air quality, stormwater management), with Nearmap for current aerial imagery, and with Google Translate for international users. TreePlotter also operates professional services lines — TreeD Hybrid Tree Inventory, urban forestry consulting, and geospatial mapping services — extending its software into data collection and advisory work.

The company serves four primary verticals: municipal, county, and state government agencies managing public trees; private tree care companies (arborists, tree surgeons, landscapers) needing CRM, routing, and work order capabilities; nonprofit organizations focused on urban forestry and environmental conservation; and universities managing campus trees. Named customers include the City of Boulder, Trees Atlanta, Texas Trees Foundation, Canopy Palo Alto, and ClimbingHI Maui. The product is sold globally with dedicated US and UK sales operations (UK sales line, UK support line, [email protected], and a UK-specific TreePlotter website) and was extended into Canada via the TreePlotter CANOPY launch.

TreePlotter's revenue model is subscription SaaS with annual billing cycles and quote-based enterprise pricing — no public price list is disclosed. Revenue is augmented by paid add-on modules and by integration-related fees (e.g., Nearmap imagery pass-through). Distribution runs through direct enterprise and inside sales supported by free consultation and demo requests, complemented by content marketing (resource library, blog, webinars), organic social channels (LinkedIn, Facebook, X, Instagram, YouTube), industry events such as the Arbor Day Foundation's Partners in Community Forestry conference, and a dedicated support portal at support.treeplotter.com. The company is bootstrapped with no disclosed venture or private equity funding, and operates with 11-50 employees.

Direct peers

• Aspire Software (ServiceTitan Green): Business management software for landscape and tree-care operators, with routing, work orders and customer management that compete with TreePlotter's Tree Care / Private Industry segment.
• SingleOps: SaaS operations platform for the green industry (tree, lawn, landscape) covering scheduling, work orders and CRM—overlapping with TreePlotter's private-industry segment and Work Order Management module.
• ArborMetrics (Davey Tree Expert Co.): Subscription tree-inventory and urban-forestry management platform offered by Davey Tree, targeting the same municipal, utility and consulting customers as TreePlotter with overlapping features such as inventory, work orders and tree appraisal.
• OpenTreeMap: Open-source urban tree inventory and stewardship platform that municipalities and nonprofits use to map, measure and steward trees, directly competing for the same go-to-market and arborist day-to-day use cases.

Broad incumbents

• CityWorks (Trimble): Municipal asset and work-order management suite from Trimble used by cities that also need tree-inventory functionality; competes with TreePlotter for the same public-works budget line across a broader asset-management portfolio.
• Esri ArcGIS / ArcGIS Indoors: Dominant GIS platform used by municipalities and universities; offers partner apps and templates for tree management, competing indirectly with TreePlotter where agencies prefer a single-vendor GIS-plus-tree workflow.

Emerging players

• Jobber: Field-service management SaaS used by small and mid-size tree-care companies for scheduling and invoicing; targets the same smaller commercial customers with a lighter, less forestry-specific feature set.
• Real Green Systems (Service Assistant / Apparent): Long-standing lawn, tree and landscape service-management software competing for the same green-industry operators, particularly in residential and commercial tree-care segments.
• Greenius: Tree-care and landscape operations software used by arborists and urban-forestry teams for quoting, scheduling and field reporting—overlapping with TreePlotter's work-order and route-management functionality.

Others

• i-Tree Tools (USDA Forest Service): USDA-developed ecosystem services methodology that TreePlotter integrates with; functions as an enabling/ecosystem participant rather than a head-to-head software competitor.
