Fence Contractor Software
Solutions for fencing companies
PlanOps simplifies the management of your residential and commercial fencing business.
For a fence contractor, the quote comes down to a few key numbers: linear footage, the number of posts, gates and corners, and the material, whether wood, chain link, aluminum or vinyl. Yet driving out to measure every yard eats up a big part of the week.
Local rules often govern fence height and pool enclosures, and every job needs utility locates before digging. PlanOps lets you measure fence lines remotely, produce a quote in minutes and schedule your crews across the season. Homeowners receive a clear, itemized quote they can sign electronically, and your install crew sees the address, fence type and notes in the mobile app on install day.
Challenges fence contractors face
Measuring every property
Most requests are backyards; driving to each one slows your response during the busy season.
Calculating posts and panels
Length, spacing, corners and gates: manual math easily leads to missing materials on install day.
Handling peak season
In spring, requests for pool fences and privacy fences all arrive at once.
Coordinating utility locates
Underground lines must be marked before digging, adding a step that needs to be scheduled.

Frequently asked questions
Can I measure a fence line remotely?
Yes. The satellite measurement tool lets you trace the fence around the property and get the linear footage, which you use directly in the quote.
How do I avoid forgetting posts or gates?
Your quote lists each element: panels, posts, corners, gates and hardware. The client sees exactly what's included and the install crew knows what to load on the truck.
Does PlanOps work for commercial fencing?
Yes. The same measurement, quoting and scheduling tools apply to both residential and commercial projects.
Can I offer two materials on the same quote?
Yes. Quote options let you present, for example, a wood fence and an aluminum fence for the same measured length. The client compares and chooses before signing.
