Frequently Asked Questions
What is an app for utility arborists?
An app for utility arborists is a mobile tool that lets vegetation management teams capture site surveys, tree and span data on-site, and turn it into compliant reports automatically. Rugged Data replaces handwritten notes, so teams working near overhead lines can record information accurately and issue reports without writing them up later.
How does Rugged Data help utility arborists stay compliant when working near overhead lines?
Rugged Data guides teams through each step of the survey process, so no steps are missed and no information is lost. By standardising how span, tree and landowner details are captured, it keeps decision-making consistent and creates a clear, traceable record – helping arborists meet compliance requirements when working around live overhead lines.
Can the app map plot spans and tree locations?
Yes. Rugged Data lets you digitally map plot spans using built-in geolocation and diagram upload, instead of juggling paper maps, spreadsheets and notes. This gives your team an accurate, up-to-date view of the field of work and keeps all span and tree data in one place.
Does it help with planning future vegetation management work?
Yes. By capturing tree growth knowledge on every visit, Rugged Data helps you calculate when vegetation will next need attention. That means you can plan ahead and schedule work proactively, rather than reacting once trees start to encroach on overhead lines.
How quickly can arborists produce reports with Rugged Data?
Reports are generated instantly. Work is completed on a mobile device on-site and a professional report is created automatically in The Hub – with no typing up afterwards. Reports are easy to edit and track, so you can confidently issue accurate, client-ready documents the same day.
