Arbor Dash AI call transcription dashboard showing call history and AI summaries

AI-Powered Call Intelligence for Arborists

In the tree care business, phone calls are the lifeblood of new leads and customer relationships. Homeowners call when a tree falls in a storm, when they notice a diseased limb, or when they need a seasonal pruning estimate. But when your team is on a job site running chainsaws and chippers, taking detailed notes during a phone call is nearly impossible. Arbor Dash solves this with built-in AI call transcription that automatically records, transcribes, and summarizes every customer call so your team has perfect notes without writing a single word.

Every incoming and outgoing call handled through Arbor Dash is automatically transcribed using advanced speech-to-text AI. Within seconds of a call ending, you get a full text transcript along with an AI-generated summary that highlights the key points: what service the customer is requesting, the property address, any urgency indicators, specific tree species or sizes mentioned, and the agreed-upon next steps. These transcripts and summaries are automatically linked to the customer record in your CRM, so anyone on your team can review the conversation history before heading to a job site or following up on an estimate.

The call history dashboard gives you complete visibility into your phone operations. See every call with timestamps, duration, caller information, transcription status, and AI-generated tags. Filter calls by date range, team member, or customer to quickly find the conversation you need. The dashboard also provides call statistics including total call volume, average call duration, calls by time of day, and missed call rates so you can optimize your staffing and responsiveness.

For off-hours and overflow calls, Arbor Dash includes an AI voice assistant powered by VAPI that answers calls when your team is unavailable. The AI assistant greets callers with your company name, asks qualifying questions about the service needed, captures the property address and contact information, and lets callers know when they can expect a callback. You can also configure a live transfer option so that callers can be transferred to the AI assistant during busy periods. All information captured by the AI assistant is automatically added to your CRM as a new lead with the transcription attached. This means you never lose a lead to voicemail, and every after-hours caller gets a professional, helpful experience that represents your company well.

How accurate is the AI call transcription?
Arbor Dash uses advanced speech-to-text models that achieve high accuracy even with industry-specific terminology like tree species names, arboricultural terms, and equipment references. The AI is trained to handle phone call audio quality including background noise from job sites. Transcripts are available within seconds of a call ending and can be reviewed and edited if needed.
Can the AI voice assistant schedule appointments?
The AI voice assistant is designed to capture lead information and qualifying details during off-hours or overflow calls. It collects the caller's name, contact information, property address, service description, and urgency level, then creates a new lead in your CRM. Your team can then follow up to schedule the appointment during business hours. The assistant provides callers with an estimated callback time so they know when to expect a response.
Is call recording legal in my state?
Call recording laws vary by state. Some states require one-party consent (only one person on the call needs to know about the recording) while others require two-party or all-party consent. Arbor Dash provides configurable call recording disclosures that can play an announcement at the beginning of each call. We recommend consulting with your legal advisor to ensure compliance with your state's specific recording consent requirements.
