Flooring
The office manager for flooring contractors.
Subfloor prep that was never in the quote and always ends up in the job.
It does the office work, not the scheduling. Quotes out the same day, invoices raised when the job closes, the late money chased without you asking, and the sales tax worked out before a state does it for you.
Where flooring money leaks
Levelling and prep done for nothing
Overage material not returned or billed
Furniture moving quietly added to every install
None of these are dramatic on a single job. They are dramatic at the end of a year, which is exactly why nobody catches them at the time.
What it does not do
It does not dispatch or schedule. If you run a board, keep it. This handles the paperwork that happens after the van comes home — the part that is costing you evenings.
Whether it pays for itself
Your numbers. It is set up to tell you when the answer is no.

Have someone call you
Someone who has seen a flooring business's books rings you back and asks what is eating your time. If it is not a fit they will say so on the call.
