How ByTheMetre works

From a customer's first message to a booked, deposit-paid job — here's the whole thing, step by step.

  1. 1

    They tap your link

    From your Facebook page, a Marketplace listing, your website, your Google Business Profile, or the text we automatically send when you miss a call. No app to download — it opens straight into a chat, on WhatsApp, SMS, or your own web page.

  2. 2

    We ask the right questions

    ByTheMetre knows fencing — Colorbond vs timber, height, gates, retaining, old-fence removal. It asks only what's needed for that job type, in plain English, the way you'd ask on site.

  3. 3

    We measure the fence line by satellite

    Your customer draws the fence line on a satellite map right in the chat. No site visit needed to get a real number — just a quick trace over their property.

  4. 4

    We price it off YOUR rate card

    Labour rates, material costs, callout fees, margin — all set by you in your dashboard. Every quote is a range built from your numbers, never a guess pulled from nowhere.

  5. 5

    You approve — or edit — before anything goes out

    Every quote lands in your Approvals queue first. Tap Approve to send it as-is, or adjust the numbers and assumptions before it goes to the customer. Nothing reaches them without your say-so.

  6. 6

    They accept, pay a deposit, and book

    One tap for them too. The deposit goes straight to your Stripe account at standard rates, and the booking lands in your calendar — and your ServiceM8, Tradify or Xero if you use one.
