Zaras for Fencing

Two hundred feet, one gate, and a locate that expires Friday.

Property lines, approvals, and post holes that all have to clear before a crew leaves the yard.

Locate ticketsLine and gatePost setting

The auger waits on the frost line.

The year does not ramp for a fence crew, it opens — the auger is what waits on frozen ground, not the phone. Estimates, locates, and approvals keep running all winter so the line is ready to dig the week the ground turns.

What carries season to season: the locate ticket the property line the footing depth.

One week in April. Three jobs, one record.

A fresh locate ticket, a line walked with the neighbour, and a gate reset — three different jobs, one operating record.

Mon

Locate marks back

Paint and flags in the yard, the ticket’s expiry sitting on the job instead of a whiteboard, the dig scheduled inside it.

Wed

Line walked with the neighbour

The survey pin turns up under six inches of mulch, the corner sets inside the line, and what got agreed goes on the job, not a memory.

Gate post reset

A return on a sagging gate, footing depth checked against what this jurisdiction requires before the post goes back in.

The dig board and the perimeter desk.

Fencing money comes from two engines — the paperwork that clears the ground, and the line that gets sold and built on it. Zaras runs both from the same record.

The dig board

Nothing gets augered until four things clear, and every one of them has a date.

What Zaras runs for fencing.

The record, not the clipboard — every job from the locate to paid, with nothing re-keyed into a second system.

Locate ticket trackingtracked to its own expiry, so a stale mark never gets dug on.

Permit and HOA approval trackingattached to the job before a crew is scheduled, not chased after the fact.

Property-line and survey recordspins, setbacks, and what the neighbour agreed to, on the job for good.

Linear-foot estimates with gates itemisedevery opening priced as its own line, not folded into a per-foot guess.

Material and style selectionswood, vinyl, chain link, and ornamental recorded once, ordered without a re-ask.

Footing-depth standards by jurisdictionrecorded once per jurisdiction and reused on every job in it.

Deposits and install schedulingcollected on approval, the crew and the auger booked from the same record.

Invoicing, payments, QuickBooks syncbilling pulls straight from the record the locate ticket or the estimate opened, no separate system to reconcile.

Locate → line → dig → set → paid — every fence job, one record.

Straight answers.

What does it cost?

Plans and prices are public on the pricing page — no sales call to get a number.

Does it work with QuickBooks?

Yes. Invoices and payments flow straight into QuickBooks — no double entry, no bookkeeper fights.

What happens to my data?

It’s yours, both directions. Customers, property lines, and open locate tickets come in with you when you join — and everything exports, any time.

Can it run commercial work?

Yes — commercial and municipal fencing with per-site records and NET-terms billing live on the same record as your residential book.

What size shop is this for?

Fence contractors running 1–40 crews — from an owner-operator to a multi-truck shop.

What does private beta mean?

We onboard a limited number of shops at a time. Request an invite, fit is reviewed within 24 hours with a reply either way, and accepted shops get guided onboarding — pricebook and customer list loaded with you, not dumped on you.
