Fencing software from the quote to the last post

The quote for the run, the posts and panels that went into it, and the hours it took, on one job. Offer the work to the crew and invoice when the line is finished, from the phone.

The OlasBoard job pipeline as fencing businesses use it: leads, booked jobs, work in progress and done, each with the client, the date and the price
  • Quote the run on site
  • Materials against that fence
  • Crew included in the plan
  • Invoice when it is finished

Where a fencing job slips

“I priced it by eye and the run was longer than I thought.”

The quote stays on the job next to the hours and the materials. After a season of panels, posts and gates you are pricing from what your own jobs took.

“The concrete and the posts were bought for three jobs and vanished into one receipt.”

Photograph the receipt and split the cost onto the jobs it belongs to. A fence then has a margin instead of sharing a pile called materials.

“Extras — a gate, another bay — get agreed on site and missed on the invoice.”

Add them to the job while you are standing there. The invoice is built from the job, not from what you remember on Friday.

“I have two teams and I text both every morning.”

Offer the job. The first crew free takes it, and the app will not put them on two sites at the same hour.

“A labourer for a busy month should not mean a new subscription.”

Seats come with the plan. Hiring for the month does not change what you pay for the software.

A run, quote to paid

  1. MondayEnquiry in. Quoted on site with photos of the boundary, PDF out before you leave.
  2. TuesdayAccepted. Offered to the crew; one team takes it.
  3. WednesdayPosts and concrete photographed against the job.
  4. ThursdayCustomer adds a gate. It goes on the job the same day.
  5. FridayLine finished, invoice out from the van, payment recorded when they pay.

The real problem is not knowing what is going on in your own business

Everything else follows from that. If you cannot see it, you cannot price it, chase it, or tell who is carrying the work.

Do you actually know what you made last month?
Not turnover - what was left. Income, costs and the margin on every job in one place, so the answer is a screen rather than an evening with a bank statement.
You pay a manager. Can you see what they did?
Leads handled, how fast they answered, what converted. From the record, not from their summary of it.
Which of your clients are still short?
One definition of unpaid across every screen, and the late ones chased on a schedule with the message already written.
Did anybody actually go to that job?
When it was taken, when it started, when it finished, and the photos from while they were there.
Are you pricing the work right?
What you quoted sits next to what it took. After a dozen jobs you are pricing from your own history instead of hoping.

Numbers from what people did, not from what they reported

Most tools tell you what somebody typed into them. These figures come off the work itself: the moment a job was taken, the moment it was started, the moment it was finished, the hours that fall out of that, and the photos attached while the person was standing there.

Nobody writes their own report card. That is the difference between a dashboard you believe and one you argue with.

Per-person performance reporting is on the Business plan. Job records, timings and photo proof are on every plan.

For anyone running a crew

Stop ringing round to fill a job

The job goes to the whole crew at once and the first person free takes it. No calls, no group chat you have to keep track of afterwards.

  1. 01

    You add the job

    Client, address, time, price. Thirty seconds, from the van.

  2. 02

    The whole crew sees it

    One offer to everyone instead of five messages sent one at a time. Their phone buzzes.

  3. 03

    The first one free takes it

    Exactly one person gets it, however many tap at once - and nobody can take a job on top of one they already have.

  4. 04

    You find out without asking

    It shows who took it. If nobody does, you hear about it in hours, not on the day.

And your crew does not cost extra

Most tools in this category price per user, and “user” means anyone with a login - your crew, your subcontractors, the person in the office. The bill grows every time you hire.

Here the seats come with the plan. €99 a month covers up to 20 people, and the price is the same whether 20 of them are working today or two.

Everything the job needs, in one app

Stop paying for five tools that do not talk to each other.

Job pipeline in OlasBoard: columns for leads, booked, in progress and done, each job a card with the client, the date and the price

Visual job pipeline

Lead → Booked → In Progress → Done → Paid. Drag a job across, and everything downstream follows.

Client list in OlasBoard showing each customer with their total spend and job history

Clients that remember

Every job, quote and invoice against the client, with what they still owe you on the same screen.

OlasBoard home screen on a phone: income, expenses and net profit tiles above a weekly cash-flow chart

Money in and money out

Income and expenses, split by job or general, receipts photographed and attached as you go.

Reports screen in OlasBoard with an accountant CSV pack, a tax report PDF and a picker for what to export to Excel

Reports your accountant can use

Tax report, profit by job and client, exported to Excel, CSV or PDF at the end of the quarter.

Analytics dashboard in OlasBoard charting revenue, expenses and profit over time

See the trend, not just today

Revenue, expenses and profit by day, week, month or year - so a bad week reads as a bad week, not a crisis.

Team screen in OlasBoard listing crew members with their roles and who is available

A crew, when you have one

Invite people, set what they can see, and let workers claim jobs, run a timer and upload proof from their own phones.

Built in, not sold separately

An assistant that has read your books

It sees your pipeline, your invoices, your expenses and your crew - and answers the questions a good business partner would.

  • “Who owes me money and how late are they?”
  • “Which of these leads should I ring first?”
  • “Am I actually making anything on recurring cleans?”
  • “Photograph this receipt and file it against yesterday's job.”

Ask by typing, by voice, or by photographing a receipt. It can book a job, write a quote or an invoice, record a payment and file a cost — and it waits for your tap before it writes anything. It does not email or WhatsApp the client, and it does not delete. Included from the €19 plan, not held back for an enterprise tier.

fencing software - questions

Does it calculate panels and posts for me?

No. You price the run. The app keeps that price beside the hours and materials the job used, which is how the next quote gets closer.

Can I quote from the customer’s garden?

Yes. Line items and your terms, out as a PDF by email or WhatsApp, and it becomes a booked job when they accept.

How do two crews share the week?

Assign a job, or offer it and let the first team free take it. Overlaps are refused rather than discovered on the day.

Do I pay per fencer?

No. Seats are included in the plan.

Can a sole trader use it before hiring?

Yes. You quote, book, do the work and invoice on your own. Crew tools appear when you add someone.
