The Fencing Invoice App Built for Field Work

Why Fencing & Decking Contractors Need a Dedicated Field Invoicing App

Fence contractors measure perimeter fence lines on uneven terrain, order bulk concrete and lumber, and require clear deposit contracts.

• Linear-foot pricing calculations: Fences are quoted per linear foot based on height, post spacing, and material grade. Easily calculate total perimeter footage.
• Substantial upfront material deposits: Lumber, vinyl panels, and concrete bags represent huge upfront costs. Issue material deposit invoices before post digging begins.
• Property boundary deadzones without cell signal: Walking long back property lines often leaves you without cellular coverage. 100% offline mode guarantees seamless on-site quoting.
• Separate gate & hardware add-ons: Walk gates and double-drive gates require extra hinges, latches, and post reinforcement. Line-item gates clearly on every quote.
