Why FencePro.ai Exists

Built from real fence jobs — not designed in a software lab. This is the short, honest reason the platform exists.

🛠️ It didn’t start as software

FencePro didn’t start as software.

It started as a way to survive running a fence company.

Before it was ever a product, it was an internal system built to solve the same daily problems most fence contractors deal with:

  • Estimates taking too long to build
  • Customer info scattered across emails, notebooks, and spreadsheets
  • Jobs slipping through scheduling gaps
  • Office and field crews not seeing the same information
  • Re-entering the same job details over and over

None of those problems are theoretical. They’re the real things that slow jobs down and cost money every single week.

📌 Built from real fence jobs

FencePro was originally built simply to make our own company run smoother.

Every time something caused friction — estimating delays, missed notes, scheduling confusion, customer follow-ups — the system got adjusted to fix it.

Not based on what software companies thought contractors needed.

Based on what actually kept happening in the real world.

✅ Estimates got faster.
✅ Information stayed organized.
✅ Scheduling stopped feeling like guesswork.
✅ Nothing fell through the cracks.

🤝 Why we made it available

After years of refining the system internally, it became obvious the same issues weren’t unique to one company.

Talk to almost any fence contractor and you’ll hear the same things:

“Estimating takes too long.”
“We lose track of customer details.”
“Scheduling gets messy.”
“We’re juggling too many tools.”

FencePro wasn’t created to be flashy software. It was released because these problems are shared across the industry.

What it’s meant to do

FencePro isn’t designed to change how you run your business.

It’s designed to remove the friction that slows it down.

  • Speed up building estimates
  • Keep customer info + job details in one place
  • Let office + crews see the same schedule
  • Turn estimates into scheduled projects (no re-entry)

Simple operational improvements that add up every single day.

📊 The dashboard: business metrics at a glance

It usually happened late in the week.

Someone would ask: “How did we actually do this week?”

And that simple question turned into work. Adding up invoices. Checking deposits. Looking at the schedule. Trying to remember which jobs were sold, pending, or still waiting on permits.

Nothing was technically missing — it just wasn’t anywhere you could see instantly.

So we built the dashboard. Not to look impressive. Just to see the real numbers immediately.

  • Weekly / Monthly Sales
  • Lead Performance
  • Active Projects
  • Deposits Made
  • Projected Income
  • Permits & Service Calls Outstanding

Because when you're running jobs every day, you shouldn’t have to total everything up just to know where the business stands.

🙌 No sales pitch

If FencePro helps, great. If it’s not the right fit, that’s fine too.
