ClearCut Compliance review
A focused web platform for RAMS, safety checks, equipment records and compliance history.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ClearCut Compliance is web-based arborist management and compliance software for UK tree surgery and forestry businesses. It brings job records, operative assignments, site details, RAMS, equipment checks, maintenance issues, documents, signatures, photos and searchable submissions into one system. Its focus is operational compliance rather than the full commercial workflow, making it a strong fit for arborists and tree-care teams that need structured safety documentation and records.
Pricing is organized around a focused RAMS option and four full-platform tiers. RAMS Starter costs £19 per month and covers digital RAMS creation, customizable risk assessment and method statement templates, signatures and branded PDF storage. Solo costs £29 per month, while Crew, Company and Enterprise cost £49, £79 and £119 per month respectively. These full-platform plans include jobs, RAMS, checks, maintenance and records. A seven-day free trial is available, and the plans are billed monthly. The main distinction is scope: RAMS Starter serves businesses centered on risk assessments and method statements, while the other plans cover broader compliance administration.
The standout strength is the breadth of arborist-specific compliance records. ClearCut includes vehicle and plant checks, HAVS and fatigue risk tracking, a document library for company and personal records, maintenance logs for defects and corrective actions, and searchable submission history with photos and attachments. Digital signatures and branded PDF generation support formal record handling. However, the platform is web-only, and ClearCut states that quoting and invoicing are outside its scope. Choose it when safety documentation, inspections and audit history are the priority; consider a broader tree-service operations platform if estimating, quoting or invoicing must sit in the same system.
