Tony’s name is on it
Fence4Profit is Thornton Fence Consulting Group’s own CRM. It carries the workflow Tony and the TFCG team teach fence contractors, in the software Tony chose to put it in.
Tony started building fence at 15 and has worked the trade as a contractor, a distributor and a manufacturer’s rep. He spent eight years as Executive Director of the American Fence Association before founding Thornton Fence Consulting Group in 2022.

Simple to run
A CRM only helps if your people actually use it. Fence4Profit is built to be easy to learn and easy to get around.
One system, start to finish
The first call, the drawn and priced bid, the signed proposal, the crew schedule and the invoice in QuickBooks — one job, never re-typed.
Learn it in a day
Built for the people who run the jobs, not for an office full of software admins. If you can run a job, you can run Fence4Profit.
Works from the truck
Draw the fence, send the proposal, check the schedule and clock the crew in from a phone, a tablet or the office computer.
TFCG’s workflows, already built in
TFCG’s Overall Workflow Checklist is inside every job. The paper version asked for initials, a date and a time on every line; Fence4Profit records all three on its own, on the screen where the work is already happening.
TFCG’s workflow on every job
One checklist follows the job from the first call to the thank-you note: Admin, Sales, Job Folder, Operations, Installation, Close-out and Office. Nobody goes looking for a separate list.
Most steps check themselves off
When the system already knows something happened — the agreement is signed, the deposit is in, the crew packet went out — the step checks itself off, with the name and time of whoever did it.
Nothing slips quietly
Every card shows how far along it is, and every open step stays in front of the person it belongs to. Timed steps, like the 24-hour appointment confirmation, become reminders.
Real handoffs, with a receipt
Sales hands the Job Folder to Operations with a button. Anything missing is listed first, Ops presses Got it, and gets reminded if they don’t. Ops hands off to the Office the same way.
Ops approves what they have opened
The Confirm steps in Operations have a Review button, not a checkbox. Approve and Flag a problem only appear under the open document, and an approval clears itself if the drawing or materials change.
The crew works it from their phone
While they’re clocked in to the job, the crew sees the Installation steps: load-out checked against the list, Job finished, what came back on the truck, and the customer’s sign-off.
TFCG’s Overall Workflow Checklist, on every job

See what actually happened
Every step is stamped with who and when. The count on each card shows how far along it is, and the open steps show where jobs stall.

TFCG and your team
Keep improving
Your TFCG sessions start from the record of what happened on your jobs, not from memory — so the coaching goes where the jobs are actually stalling.

Questions
What is Fence4Profit?
The CRM from Thornton Fence Consulting Group: leads, drawn and priced bids, signed proposals, crew scheduling and invoicing in QuickBooks, with TFCG’s Overall Workflow Checklist running on every job. Powered by Teravo Pro.
How does it work with my TFCG consulting?
The workflow Tony’s team teaches is the one running on your jobs. Your sessions start from what actually happened — who did each step, when, and what’s still open — instead of from memory.
Will the checklist slow my team down?
No. More than half of the steps check themselves off as the work gets done, and the rest are a tap on the screen your people are already using: the job page, the boards, or the crew’s phone.
What does it cost?
Plans run from Solo to Multi-Location, plus a one-time implementation, all published on the pricing page. Month to month, no contract.
How do I get set up?
Every account starts with a hands-on implementation session. We load your real pricing, materials and proposal templates with you, and TFCG’s workflow is on from your first job.
