Temporary Fencing Software

Temporary fence rental software that stops panel loss

SiteRento is temporary fence rental software: it counts the panels on every job site from the work your crews complete, bills each rental on its 28-day cycle, and syncs invoices to QuickBooks Online.

The hidden cost of poor panel tracking

Shrinkage gets written off as the "cost of doing business," but it adds up. On a 10,000 LF fleet, losing 5% in a year means buying back about 50 panels, roughly $6,000 at $120 a panel, before the rent those panels would have earned and the time lost to "short-ship" disputes.

SiteRento doesn't just track your steel. Every delivery and pickup is recorded with photos and a signature, the proof you need in a dispute, and each site's count is kept by the work your crews complete.

Spreadsheet chaos

Panel counts in one file, billing in another, customer info somewhere else. You're copying data between systems, making manual updates, and praying nothing falls through the cracks. One typo means a panel disappears from your records—but not from the job site.

Blind spots

"How many panels are at the Johnson site? When does their rental end?" If answering these questions requires digging through emails, texts, and handwritten notes, you're flying blind. Without real-time visibility, you can't make confident decisions about inventory or new jobs.

Billing leakage

Jobs run long, panels stay out an extra week, but invoices don't reflect reality. Manual billing means you're leaving money on the table every month. The 28-day billing cycle that's standard in this industry becomes a nightmare to track by hand.

Collection battles

The project's done, but the customer has no urgency to pay pickup fees or that final invoice. Without automated billing and clear documentation, you're stuck chasing payments instead of growing your business.

Temporary fence rental, quote to pickup

One rental in four steps, with a record of every panel from the quote to the truck that brings it back.

  1. Quote the job

    Price panels, gates and delivery from your own templates and rate cards, then turn the accepted quote into a job without retyping it.

    Learn more about quotes and rate cards

  2. Install it, with proof

    The crew opens the work order on a phone, records the panels installed and adds photos and a signature. The job site’s count goes up.

  3. Bill every 28 days

    Invoices are drafted on each 28-day cycle, prorated when a rental starts or ends mid-cycle, and wait for your review before they go out.

  4. Pick up and close

    The pickup work order takes the panels off the job site’s count and back into the yard, so the next quote knows what is available.

Temporary fence priced the way it's sold: by the linear foot

Fence is quoted, billed and moved by the foot. SiteRento keeps the footage next to the panel count on every job.

Measure the fence line

Trace the fence line on the site plan and get the total linear feet for the quote, instead of measuring off a printout with a scale ruler.

Bill per foot or per panel

Each panel item knows how many linear feet it covers, so a job site shows panels and footage, and its rental can bill per linear foot or per unit.

Charge for the moves

When the GC needs the fence line moved, relocate-and-reset and remobilization work orders are priced per linear foot, so the crew’s time gets billed.

Site-level inventory control

Track panels at every location—not just totals, but exactly which panels are where. When a GC calls asking if you can add 20 panels to their site, you'll know immediately whether you have availability and where those panels are coming from.

  • Utilization dashboards show which panels are earning money vs. sitting idle
  • Shrinkage reports show where panels go missing
  • Revenue and invoice-aging reports next to utilization, before you buy more panels

Guides for temporary fence rental companies

Frequently asked questions about fence rental software

What does temporary fence rental software do?

It keeps count of the panels on every job site, bills each rental on its cycle, and runs the quotes, installs and pickups in between. SiteRento does this for temporary fencing companies in one system: counts come from the work orders your crews complete, invoices are drafted on 28-day or custom cycles, and everything syncs to QuickBooks Online.

How does SiteRento track fence panels across multiple job sites?

SiteRento keeps a count of the panels at each location. Completing an install, service visit or pickup updates the count on that job, and transfers between yards are recorded too. Crews document condition with photos, and with Asset Management (in beta) serialized units carry QR labels. The dashboard shows what's deployed, what's available, and what's reserved for scheduled work.

What happens when panels are added or picked up partway through a rental?

The job site’s count changes when the work order is completed. An install adds panels, a pickup takes them off and back into the yard, and each work order carries the crew’s photos and signature, so the count comes with proof of what happened on site.

How does 28-day billing work in SiteRento?

SiteRento automatically tracks rental start dates and generates invoices on 28-day cycles—the industry standard for temporary fence rental. When a job starts mid-cycle, the system calculates pro-rated charges. When a rental extends beyond the original term, billing continues automatically. Invoices are drafted on schedule for review, and can send automatically once you mark them reviewed.

Does SiteRento integrate with QuickBooks?

Yes, with QuickBooks Online. Invoices created in SiteRento sync to QuickBooks automatically, and invoices paid in QuickBooks show as paid in SiteRento. Customers are pushed to QuickBooks when you create or edit them. This eliminates double data entry and keeps your books accurate without manual reconciliation.

How does SiteRento help reduce panel loss?

By giving every panel a record. SiteRento shows which panels are at each site, documents every delivery and pickup with photos and a signature, and reports shrinkage, so missing panels show up while the job is still open instead of at the end.

Can my drivers use SiteRento in the field?

Yes. The SiteRento crew app runs in the web browser on iPhone and Android phones. Drivers can see their assigned jobs, get directions to job sites, mark jobs complete, capture photos, and collect signatures. Photos taken without signal upload when the phone reconnects.

What payment methods does SiteRento support?

Card and ACH. Customers can pay invoices through the Pay Now link from QuickBooks Payments, or online in the customer portal (in beta) through Stripe (in early access). Autopay on recurring rentals runs through QuickBooks Payments. All payment processing is PCI-compliant and secure.

Can SiteRento handle both construction and event fence rentals?

Yes. Long-term construction rentals can bill on 28-day or monthly cycles and short-term event rentals on daily or weekly rates. You can set different pricing for different job types and track inventory across all your rental types in one system.

How long does implementation take?

Most fence rental companies are up and running within a few days. You can import existing customer and inventory data from spreadsheets, and our team helps with setup and initial training. There's no lengthy implementation project or IT department required—if you can use a web browser, you can use SiteRento.
