“Could not be happier.”
After trying many and buying other urban tree inventory programs, and being frustrated, we found UFM and could not be happier.
They have given us nearly everything we have asked for. On occasion, they will say they don’t think they can do that. But just wait a little, and before you know it, they have found a way. I am very glad we found UFM after many years of searching. Thank you!
“UFM makes me a better arborist.”
UFM makes me a better arborist. It has incorporated input from some of the best arborists and arboricultural research in the country.

FAQ
What are voice notes?
Voice notes means you can click a button to speak into your device, and the system will translate what you say into typed text. It even works for Canadians.
What's the deal with pictures?
UFM uses your device’s onboard camera to insert pictures into the record for that visit for that tree. This allows for flipping through visits to help with a diagnosis. Photos don’t appear on the maps.
What does it mean to have TRAQ?
UFM is one of just a few programs that includes all of the ISA-blessed level II tree risk assessment method, called TRAQ. We have all of the fields and all of the value lists, and a series of different sorts of reports.
How much does UFM cost?
You skipped down to the bottom too quickly. Scroll back up, and you’ll see three tiles with the different pricing plans.
How do I contact support?
You can email us here, or click on any of the Contact Us links. We typically respond to support requests within a business day. Always welcome are new feature ideas.
Is this a "cloud" application?
UFM can be deployed on the cloud, or on your computer or mobile device. This is a decision you make when you start using UFM (and can later change).
Do you offer a money-back guarantee?
Yes. In the first 30 days, first-time trialers may return the software for a full refund.
What can be customized on UFM?
Three common customizations are re-ordering the fields; changing out some fields; and changing the value lists that appear in the fields. Many also choose to customize the reports. Other customizations can include custom attribute tables on the mapping exports and even simplifying data entry screens for field staff.
Will it work on PC or other platforms?
UFM works on PC, Mac, and iOS devices, like iPads and iPhones. On PC and Mac (and also Windows tablets), it will run provided a copy of the underlying database software – Filemaker Pro – has been purchased as well (~$540). It does not work on Android, Palm, Newton, or Magic Cap.
Do I need to purchase additional database software?
UFM runs on an underlying database called Filemaker Pro. This is free for mobile devices. For desktop use, Filemaker Pro must be purchased. You can do that here.
Do I need a license for every device?
Our licensing follows the people. A single person can use one license on their computer, laptop, iPad, even their home computer. Another person, though, would require another license.
How do I move documents from my iPad to the computer?
We have a file management section in our manual. Or you can see this video here.
