Welcome to the Barker blog

Notes from the Barker build: tree-service operations, dispatch, worker mobile workflows, secure customer links, and launch readiness.

By John Pfleiderer

Welcome to the Barker blog

Barker is CRM and operations software for tree service companies. It is built around the work that moves from the first call to the job site: customers, leads, opportunities, estimates, crews, equipment, documents, payments, and worker updates.

This blog is where we write about what is shipping, what we are learning, and how the product is being shaped around tree-service operations.

What to expect here

We will be posting on three beats:

  1. Product notes - what is shipping, what is next, and what is being simplified.
  2. Operations lessons - dispatch, crews, worker mobile, estimates, customer links, and payment workflows.
  3. Launch readiness - the practical work behind infrastructure, security, provider setup, and audit evidence.

Why a blog and not just social posts

Because a product needs a durable public record. When a post lives on our domain, customers can find the archive, subscribe to the RSS feed, and see how the product changes over time.

Thanks for being early. More soon.
