NexusCRM · Fencing Contractors
NexusCRM is fencing contractor software that prices pressure-treated, cedar, vinyl, aluminum, and chain link by the linear foot, splits shared boundary fences cleanly between neighbours, pays install crews per foot, and shows the live margin on every run — with an optional AI Caller that answers the phone while you're on the auger.

BUILT ON A JOB SITE — NexusCRM was built inside a real GTA contracting business. Per-linear-foot crew pay and project groups for shared job sites were in the product because daily operations needed them, long before it was ever sold.
Sound familiar?
Into the calls you couldn't answer in April, the lumber that went up after you quoted, and the shared back line nobody wrote down properly. Fencing is high-volume, seasonal, and priced by the foot — small leaks add up fast.
It's April. Everyone wants a new fence before the dog gets out or the pool opens. Your phone rings all day while you're setting posts, the voicemails stack up, and by the time you call back at 8 p.m. half of them have booked whoever answered first.
You priced a cedar privacy fence in March off last season's numbers. The customer signed in June. Cedar and posts went up in between, and nobody noticed until the supplier invoice landed — after the job was already booked at the old price.
The back line is shared by four houses. One wants a gate, one wants the old chain link hauled away, one pays late. It lives in a notebook and three text threads, and at the end nobody — including you — knows what that fence actually made.
How NexusCRM fixes it
It runs on the things a fence company actually sells and pays for: linear feet, material grades, gates, shared property lines, and install crews paid by the foot — from a 40-foot side yard to a 600-foot rural run.
AI in the field
Walk the property line with the homeowner, talk through footage, height, material, gates, and what's coming out — and have a priced draft quote before you're back in the truck. Built from your own past fence quotes, not a generic cost guide.
You review and adjust every draft before it goes anywhere near a customer.
AI Caller · add-on
The AI Caller — NLPearl voice agents wired to NexusCRM through n8n automations — picks up the spring calls you can't, calls new leads back within minutes, and follows up on the quotes that went quiet.
Add-on from $297/mo CAD, on any tier. It captures preferred site-visit windows; your rep confirms the booking in NexusCRM.
How the AI Caller WorksFirst call to final payment
One system carries the job from the call you'd have missed to the last gate hung — with the margin known at every step.
The AI Caller picks up at 7:48 p.m., qualifies the job, and the lead lands in NexusCRM with a summary and transcript. A web-form lead from your Meta ad gets called back within minutes instead of tomorrow.
A two-minute recording becomes a priced draft by the linear foot, with PT, cedar, and vinyl as options. The Bid Advisor checks the margin against today's price sheet and similar fences you've already built.
The signed snapshot locks with timestamp and IP, and the invoice, project, and schedule entry are created automatically. Not signed yet? Expiry reminders go out, and the AI Caller can follow up by phone.
The post-day task stays Blocked until locates are back. Post day and panel day are booked as separate visits, synced to Google Calendar, with day-before reminders so the crew shows up to the right yard.
Per-foot crew pay, photographed lumber and hardware receipts, and disposal fees hit the live P&L the day they occur. Shared fences roll up to the project group without double-counting.
After photos go into the customer portal, the warranty is already on the signed quote, and paid-in-full emails the receipt. You close the fence knowing exactly what it made.
The math
Field service platforms range from about $200 to well over $1,500 a month once per-user fees stack up — NexusCRM is one flat CAD price with unlimited users, so adding seasonal installers in April costs nothing extra.

|---|---|---|---|
| NexusCRM Pro | $425 flat CAD | None — unlimited users | $5,500 one-time (financing available) |
| Jobber (Grow) | $199–$499 + extra users | +$29/user | — |
| Housecall Pro (MAX) | $329 + extra users | +$35/user | — |
| JobNimbus | $225–$550 base + users | +$25–$75/user; texting add-on $49–$249/mo | Varies |
| ServiceTitan | $1,470–$3,000 ($245–$500 per technician) | Per-tech pricing | $5k–$15k, quote-only |

Recommended tier
Pro — $425/month flat plus $5,500 implementation — is the right tier for most fence companies, because fencing margin lives in the Pro features: voice-to-quote, live job P&L, receipt capture, and crew payroll with per-linear-foot pay. Setting posts yourself with one helper? Core at $295 plus $2,950 covers the full pipeline. Running 20+ people across multiple crews? Elite at $795 plus $9,800 adds custom development hours.

Yes. Quotes are multi-option, so one quote can price the same 150 linear feet in pressure-treated, cedar, and vinyl as Good, Better, and Best, with gates, removal and disposal, and hardware as their own lines. The customer ticks the option they want on their phone with a live running total and signs; billing charges exactly what was accepted. Voice-to-quote drafts those lines from your own past fence quotes and warns you when a line is priced under your historical low.
Use a project group. The shared boundary run sits on the group, each neighbour keeps their own extras — a gate on one side, removal of an old fence on the other — and each signs and pays for their own portion. Payments and expenses are tracked at the group level without double-counting a dollar, and the group shows the true combined profitability of the whole fence, so a back line shared by four households is one job to you and a clear bill to each of them.
Yes. Per-linear-foot is one of NexusCRM's four crew pay models, alongside hourly, per-day, and per-project lump sum. The rate is locked when the crew is assigned, so a rate change next season never rewrites what an old job cost. Crew and subcontractor ledgers track what each installer has earned and been paid, crews can check what they are owed themselves, and every pay line lands on that job's live P&L.
You see it before it costs you. The materials price book keeps price history, and supplier PDF price lists can be imported by AI straight into catalog rows. The AI Bid Advisor shows line-by-line variance against your current price sheets before you send, and quotes carry automatic expiry — the customer gets reminders three days before and on the day, then the quote expires — so a March price does not get signed in June.
Yes — that is what it is for. The AI Caller is a NexusAI add-on, from $297/month, built on NLPearl voice agents and wired to NexusCRM through n8n. It answers your line 24/7, asks the questions you would ask — address, rough footage, material, gates, removal, timeline — and transfers the call to you when a caller wants a person. When the call ends, the lead lands in NexusCRM with a summary and transcript, tagged AI Caller. It also calls new web and Meta leads within minutes and follows up on quotes that have not been accepted. It identifies itself as an AI assistant, and outbound calls only go to people who asked you for a quote.
