Tree work is high-risk, heavily ticketed and often done for councils, estates and housing providers who want records. DuoApp keeps jobs, crews, NPTC tickets, kit inspections and photo records in one app your climbers and groundies can use in the truck.

Small crews, dangerous work and clients who want everything recorded. These are the problems tree surgery firms tell us about most.
NPTC chainsaw and climbing tickets, first aid and insurance - a client or council audit asks for them and they're in a drawer, or out of date.
Six-monthly LOLER inspections on climbing kit, and chainsaw and chipper checks, tracked on a sheet that nobody's sure is current.
A neighbour or council officer queries the work and the before-and-after photos are on someone's phone.
TPO and conservation-area consents, method statements and risk assessments scattered across email.
Annual surveys, re-inspections and cyclical works for estates and councils tracked in someone's head.
Crews send hours at the end of the week and the office re-keys them.
Everything below is included in the same £10 per user, for climbers, groundies and the office alike.
Store NPTC chainsaw and climbing tickets, first aid, other training and insurance against each person. DuoApp warns you before anything expires, and can block work for anyone whose documents aren't current.
Set up one-off jobs and recurring contract work in the same place. Kit inspections and cyclical visits can repeat every six months, yearly or at any interval, and overdue ones stand out.
A checklist for each job type, with photos before and after, notes and a signature. Every record is timestamped and stored against the job, with a full audit trail.
Mark a method statement, risk assessment or consent as required reading. DuoApp notifies the crew, blocks sign-off until they've opened it, and re-locks on every revision.
Add estate managers and council officers as users who see only their own sites - jobs, photos and records, never your costs. Same flat £10.
Hours are captured against the job as the work happens, approved in one place and ready for payroll.
Clock in and out on the phone, optionally checked against the site boundary at that moment. See who's on which site right now.
Claim fuel, chain oil, parts and other costs with a photo of each receipt, approved in one tap.
