Fence company software

Fence company software

Fence company software that prices every run by the linear foot from your own book, adds gates and material choices, orders the materials, schedules the crew and bills the deposit and balance.

How it works

How fence company software runs an install

  1. Build your book by the footPrice each fence style per linear foot, with the material cost and your waste percent behind it and the crew’s hours at their rate. Gates, end posts and old-fence removal are items of their own.
  2. Measure and mark up the yardOn the visit, measure the runs and add a photo or the property survey to the quote. Draw the fence line, mark the gates and add dimensions.
  3. Offer the material choicesDuplicate the quote as a new option to show wood, vinyl and aluminum side by side. Send them on one link; the homeowner picks one and signs.
  4. Set the depositThe payment plan sets the deposit and the balance. Once signed, the plan becomes the job’s invoices, and you record each payment as it comes in.
  5. Order and schedulePull the material list from the signed quote, track the pick-up or delivery, and book the install crew on the calendar or the weekly schedule.
  6. Close it outBefore and after photos, a change order if the homeowner moves a gate, the balance invoice, and a review ask when the job is done.

Features

Fence contractor software from the estimate to the balance

Per-foot pricing with waste

Price by the linear foot with materials and your waste percent as the cost, and a lower rate past a length you set, if you like.

Gates and add-ons

Walk gates, drive gates, end posts and removal, each priced the way you sell it and added to the quote as its own line.

Material options

Wood, vinyl, aluminum or chain link as separate options on one link. The homeowner picks one, and the others are set aside.

Marked-up site plan

A yard photo or survey on the quote, with the fence line, gates and dimensions drawn on, so the crew builds what was sold.

Orders and deliveries

The material list comes from the signed quote. Track pick-ups and deliveries, and let AI read the supplier’s confirmation and packing slip.

Crews in English or Spanish

Subcontracted crews see the scope, change orders, their payments and materials without prices in the crew portal, in English or Spanish.

Choosing software

What to look for in fence company estimating software

Per-foot prices on real costs

The per-foot price should rest on the posts, rails, pickets or panels, concrete, waste and crew hours behind it. Look for cost and margin on every line.

Gates and options without retyping

Gates and material upgrades change the total. The software should add them as lines or options, not make you start a new estimate.

A site plan the crew can follow

Where the line runs and where the gates go matter as much as the price. Look for a marked-up photo or survey that stays with the job.

Deposits and the balance

If you take a deposit for materials, check that the software bills it from the signed quote and tracks what’s left to pay.

Questions

Fence company software questions

How do I price a fence by the linear foot?

Make an item for each fence style with linear feet as its unit. Its cost is the material per foot with your waste percent, plus the crew’s hours at their rate; its price is your per-foot rate, cost plus markup or a target margin. Enter the feet on the quote and the total follows.

Can I add gates and material upgrades as options?

Yes. Gates are their own items, priced each. For material choices, duplicate the quote as a new option, switch the style and send both on one link; the homeowner picks one and signs.

Does the fence estimating software work on an iPad?

Yes. ECHOPS runs in Safari on an iPad or any tablet, and you can add it to the home screen so it opens like an app. It needs a connection, and an iPhone app is on the way.

Can my install crews see the job?

Yes. Your team sees the job and the day’s route in ECHOPS. Subcontracted crews sign in to the crew portal with an emailed link or code and see the scope, change orders, their payments, materials without prices and photos, in English or Spanish.

How do warranty calls work?

Open a service ticket on the job, and ECHOPS answers whether it’s still under warranty from the completion date and the warranty months you set. Schedule the visit and record what fixed it.
