Trigger Renewal Alerts

When a certification is within 60 days of expiration or CEU credits fall below required thresholds, the system automatically generates alerts and calculates the specific CEU credits needed for renewal.

3

Notify Stakeholders

Automated notifications are sent via email and SMS to the affected technician, their supervisor, and compliance managers, including renewal deadlines, required actions, and links to approved CEU courses.

4

Update Scheduling System

How It Works

Managing International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) certifications across your tree care team requires constant vigilance. This automated system tracks certification expiration dates, CEU requirements, and renewal deadlines for all arborists on your team. When certifications approach expiration or CEU credits fall below required thresholds, the system automatically sends reminders to technicians and managers, ensuring continuous compliance. The automation maintains a central database of all credentials, integrates with scheduling systems to prevent uncertified technicians from being assigned to jobs requiring specific credentials, and generates compliance reports for insurance and regulatory purposes. By eliminating manual spreadsheet tracking and reducing the risk of expired certifications, your tree service maintains professional standards while protecting your business from liability.

The Trigger

The system monitors certification databases and automatically triggers when an ISA certification is within 60 days of expiration, when CEU credits fall below the required threshold for renewal, or when continuing education courses are completed and need to be logged.

The Action

The system sends email and SMS notifications to affected technicians and management, updates the credential tracking dashboard with current status, blocks job assignments requiring specific credentials when certifications lapse, and generates compliance reports showing team-wide certification status and upcoming renewal requirements.
