[ For Fencing Contractors ]
MEASURE ONCE. SCHEDULE ONCE. BUILD.
Every fence job starts with a site visit, a tape measure, and math that has to be right — because wrong linear footage means wrong material orders, wrong quotes, and wrong margins. OPS keeps your measurements, materials, and schedule in one place so your crew shows up with the right posts and the right plan.

[ THE PROBLEM ]
Material estimates miss and margins bleed
- • Linear footage calculated on a notepad — transposed wrong into the quote
- • 10% material waste assumed but never tracked against actual usage
- • Gate count and post spacing vary by style — vinyl, wood, chain link all calculate differently
- • Supplier price changes between quote day and install day eat your margin with no warning
For: Fence contractors quoting 5–20+ jobs per week across multiple material types
Weather owns your schedule and you react instead of plan
- • Rain delays push Tuesday's install into a week that's already full
- • Concrete post sets need 24–48 hours to cure — but the next crew doesn't know that
- • Permit inspections scheduled around weather windows get missed and push everything back
- • Customer expects Thursday completion but you can't pour footings in the rain they don't know about
For: Fencing companies in regions with unpredictable weather affecting install schedules
Peak season buries you in leads you can't process
- • Spring brings 30 estimate requests in a week — you respond to 12 and lose the other 18
- • Leads sit in voicemail, text, email, and Facebook messages with no single view
- • By the time you quote, the homeowner already booked the competitor who responded faster
- • No way to know which leads are $800 chain link repairs vs. $15,000 cedar privacy installs
For: Growing fence companies losing revenue during peak season due to slow response times
[ THE SOLUTION ]
HOW OPS HANDLES IT
[ 01 ]
Estimates that travel with the job.
Capture measurements, material selections, and site photos during the estimate visit — all on your phone. Gate count, post spacing, and linear footage stay attached to the job record from quote through completion. When your install crew opens the job, they see exactly what was measured, what was quoted, and what materials to load. No more calling the office to ask what style of picket the customer picked.
[ 02 ]
Weather delays handled. Schedule rebuilt.
When rain kills Wednesday's install, drag it to the next available day and every crew sees the update instantly. Mark jobs that need concrete cure time so the next stage doesn't get scheduled too early. Your crew sees their week on their phone — if it changes, they know before they load the truck. Stop rebuilding the schedule in texts every time the forecast shifts.
[ 03 ]
Every lead captured. None forgotten.
Every estimate request gets logged as a job the moment it comes in — phone, text, or walk-in. You see all pending estimates in one view, sorted by date received. Quote them in order, follow up on the ones that went cold, and stop losing $15,000 cedar jobs because they were buried in a text thread from three weeks ago. When peak season hits, you process leads systematically instead of reactively.
[ 04 ]
Crew schedule. One source of truth.
Your install crews see their week on their phone — which jobs, which addresses, what materials are needed, and what stage the job is in. Post-set crew knows which properties are ready for panels. Panel crew knows which post sets need another day to cure. No more morning meetings to figure out who's going where. The schedule is live, it's on every phone, and it updates the moment you change it.
