MATERIAL PRICING
American Fence Company is one of the top ten largest fence contractors in the United States. We are also the largest fence reseller of fence materials in the Midwest with each branch having an active and growing material sales division. To sell all this material means we must purchase a great deal of goods from others. Because of our purchasing power, we have the ability and means to purchase direct from mills and manufacturers unlike our largest Midwest competitors. We have established long-term relationships with vendors such as Deacero, one of the world’s largest steel manufacturers, who does not sell to any other fence contractor in the United States
PRODUCTION CAPACITY
Beyond just the size and breadth of our operation, American Fence Company is unique in the industry in that the vast majority of our work is still performed by “house” crews and not subcontractors. Though challenging to maintain such a large workforce, our success in maintaining tenured professional installation crews allows us the opportunity to perform complicated and large industrial and high security projects. These projects, data centers, military installations, fuel storage, etc., require installers who meet a very high level of security, safety and professionalism that simply cannot be assured with subcontracted labor. It is for this reason that we are often the only Midwest bidder on these type of Midwest projects.

ACCESS CONTROL
Automation, digital security and access controls growth is out-pacing the fence industry growth by over 100%. Automated gate access control is the fastest growing sector in the fence industry. It is also the most complicated sector of the industry requiring fence contractors to have a high level of proficiency in designing, selling and installing high voltage equipment with low voltage controls. These access control systems have grown to be very complicated and sophisticated to meet safety standards for pedestrian protection. Unfortunately, the fence industry’s fence contractors are simply not keeping-up with these changes. Most have exited the access control industry, leaving it to other industries to provide and install. Five years ago, we too recognized that we were not growing with the industry and not meeting customer’s needs as we failed to maintain the level of expertise necessary to sell and install these systems. We met this challenge head-on! American Fence Company formed a steering committee of branch leadership and begin hammering-out what needed to be done to reclaim the access control industry and respective sales. We created an initiative under one name, American Access Company, with the intent of marketing under this name to attract customers who are disenchanted with using fence contractors for access controls. With no task too large, our leadership committed to being certified by the American Fence Association as access control professionals. We then took the course outline from this certification course and created our only access tech certification course. We created a marketing campaign that placed us #1 in all Google search results in all markets for relevant search terms. We have an on-going marketing campaign to all relevant customers. We created an on-going annual sales, supervisory and management training program, having our staff attend three training sessions at our corporate training facility for new product orientation. We created a wholistic sales approach using unique CRM based sales tools that provide not only complete proposals but sequence of operations for access, product layouts and electrical wiring layout. We established dealer relationships with major access control manufacturers such as Hy-Security, Nice, Liftmaster Chamberlain, etc. Bottom line, our access control sales have tripled in the last three years. We have recaptured and industry that most fence contractors have forsaken. We are now the leading automated gate access control contractor in the Midwest
TEMPORARY FENCE
Temporary fencing is the most profitable revenue stream within the fence industry. However, it requires a considerable investment in inventories and project management. The temporary fence industry is unlike any other revenue stream in the fence industry. It is a rental business that requires recording and managing revenue for rentals month by monht and not just a “one and done” mentality. Because of the investment in materials and the management of assets and revenue, fence contractors are simply not interested in this growing industry. The temporary fence industry has been left to a small group of national rental contractors making inroads into all markets. Several years ago, American Fence Company recognized this growing trend in rental fencing but also the revenue opportunities for extended rental periods and additional quantities. We embraced this opportunity by investing millions of dollars in rental fence inventories, purchasing thousands of rental panels every year for the last five years. Now, American Fence Company manufactures these panels internally in our Kansas City operation where they are averaging almost 300 panels per week. To date, we cannot keep these on the shelf due to growth. In addition, we built a sophisticated rental asset management CRM called TempSpace. Aligned with our overall CRM management system, TempSpace manages installation quantities and rental periods with forcing functions to bill both additional quantities and extended rental periods. We also established an extensive marketing campaign, resulting in being #1 or #2 in all relevant Google search results in all markets. We are now clearly the largest temporary fence provider in the Midwest, having kept the national firms at bay.
INVENTORIES
In 2020 and 2021, we never ran short on inventory. As a matter of fact, we were consistently selling materials to some of the nation’s larger fence contractors who could not source these items. We maintain the Midwest largest inventory of fence materials and the most fluid inventories. Our inventories reside in fourteen different locations over 30 acres. With a transportation division that is weekly delivering and pulling materials from each of the fourteen locations, we can quickly supply materials where needed. 2022 is proving to be no different. The challenge is not being competitive. The challenge is having the materials to sell.
ECOMMERCE
We recognize that in the near future all business will happen digitally over the internet. We are preparing for this on-going significant change in how business gets done. America’s Fence Store is our eCommerce online platform that consist of one national store with free shipping across the United States to 11 branch online stores that focus on local pick-up. We also maintain an active campaign on Amazon and eBay. We launched our first online store in 2017 with a reported $13K in sales. In 2021, this same store, our national store, recorded over $3M in sales. American Fence Company has been actively growing our online sales through an aggressive campaign to improve not only SEO but conversions. In 2019, we created our first online fence selection tool and fence calculator. Our selection tool uses a series of thumbnail pictures that walks you through the selection process from a more generalized selection of fence types down to very specific product designs. Once you have selected your fence design, you can then calculate your fence by inputting your fence measurements. When finished, our online store will populate your cart with everything you need to build your fence. Swipe your credit card and your order will be on its way. Through a well-developed system of palleting and packaging, we successfully ship full yards across the United States. In 2021, American Fence Company developed our own proprietary fence drawing tool. This drawing tool allows customers to draw their fence on a blank canvas with standardized user-friendly drawing tools, symbols and graphics. When finished, they can simply click and fill their cart with everything they need. Our next step in deploying our drawing tool is to include it on all of our local branch websites so that install customers may both select their fence style and draw their fence for our sales staff to quickly provide a firm quote. We recognize that the new generation of home owners do not want strangers in their backyard and in their homes. This new digital means of sales aligns with the direction the industry in going.
