FloorIQ

FloorIQ is commercial flooring software that links estimating with purchasing, scheduling, payroll and job administration. It is best suited to commercial flooring contractors coordinating multiple jobs and crews. Its connected trade workflows are a stronger fit than general-purpose tools, but the project cap on Free and the CSV-based QuickBooks handoff are important constraints.

Overview

FloorIQ covers bids and quotes, purchase orders, warehouse inventory, crew scheduling, invoicing and job profitability. Keeping those stages in one system can help a contractor follow a job beyond the initial estimate; the focus is deliberately narrow, though. It is not built for residential-only retail showrooms, solo one-day residential installers or other trades.

Key features

Estimating and takeoffs

Quotes draw on material-cost and labor-rate libraries, show live margins, and support revisions, branded PDF proposals and online signatures. That combination suits teams preparing customer-ready bids while monitoring profitability as figures change. FloorIQ also imports .xlsx, .xls and .csv takeoff exports, including MeasureSquare exports, and converts their rows into takeoff line items. This provides a way to bring existing measurements into a quote without requiring a new format.

Purchasing, inventory and scheduling

Purchase-order acknowledgements and price-variance tracking help teams compare orders with expected costs. Roll and lot tracking, barcode cycle counts, delivery tickets and reorder suggestions address inventory work specific to flooring materials. Crew days are linked to the purchase orders they depend on, and a changed delivery date flags affected scheduled days. That connection is particularly useful when material timing can disrupt installation plans.

Payroll and accounting

Weekly payroll handles regular, overtime and double-time hours, employee classifications and weekly-salary employees, with printable paystubs and exports. FloorIQ exports invoices, accounts-receivable aging, vendor bills, general ledger and payroll data as CSV for posting into QuickBooks. That covers a broad set of accounting handoffs, but it is not a live two-way sync; teams wanting records to update automatically in both systems should look elsewhere.

Data, support and offboarding

Each company has an isolated workspace with database-level tenant scoping and role-based permissions. The privacy notice also describes encryption in transit and hashed passwords. The product is built and run by Joseph Gillespie, who provides direct email support rather than routing requests through a support queue. Free migration of customer, vendor, item and price, and open-job data from CSV or Excel exports is offered on any plan. After a paid period ends, the workspace becomes read-only so users can open and export records; data is not deleted immediately.

Pricing

FloorIQ has a free plan and a paid Pro plan. Free costs nothing, has no time limit and requires no credit card, but is capped at 5 projects. That makes it a low-commitment way to keep a small project load in the system, not a fit for contractors who need more active project capacity.

Pro costs $500 a month, billed per company, and supports up to 10 users with unlimited quotes and purchase orders. It suits a team that needs more than five projects and wants multiple staff working with an unmetered volume of quotes and orders. Companies with more than 10 users should weigh that seat ceiling before choosing it. There is no free trial, so Free is the available way to start without paying.

Platforms

FloorIQ runs on the web. The listed mobile platform is also web, rather than a separate native mobile app.

Who it's for

Commercial flooring contractors are the intended audience, especially teams coordinating estimates, material purchasing, warehouse stock and installation crews. The purchase-order-linked schedule and flooring-specific inventory controls make the product more relevant to that work than a generic job tracker. Residential-only retail showrooms, solo one-day residential installers and businesses in other trades are outside its target.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Estimates, orders, inventory, scheduling, invoicing and payroll sit within one flooring-focused workflow, so contractors can manage more of the job cycle in one place.
• Pros: Delivery-date changes flag affected crew days, helping teams see scheduling consequences when material timing shifts.
• Pros: Free migration of core records from CSV or Excel lowers the work of moving existing customer, supplier, pricing and open-job data.
• Cons: QuickBooks posting relies on CSV exports rather than live two-way sync, leaving a manual handoff.
• Cons: Free is limited to 5 projects, while Pro is capped at 10 users and costs $500 a month per company.
• Cons: The product is not aimed at residential-only showrooms, one-day residential installers or other trades.

Alternatives

Flooring Contractor Software is a useful starting point for comparing tools in this category. Consider MeasureSquare if you want a paid product with a free plan and trial, or need its listed Android, iOS, Windows or API platforms; its Mobile Retail plan is $54 a month for one user and includes in-store sales and on-site consultations. FloorWizard is another flooring-software option, with pricing available by contacting sales. RFMS is an alternative for teams seeking a product whose Core ERP pricing is provided by demo request. RollMaster offers an RM Text Alert plan at $99 a month for 1,000 texts, one text-only phone number and one dashboard. Cilio is another option for web, iOS and Android. HomeArize is worth comparing if you want a freemium web product with a trial; its Entry plan costs $17 a month and includes unlimited contractors, customers and manufacturers, 10GB file storage and 1000 marketing emails. Carman is another paid option for web, iOS and Android. QFloors may suit buyers comparing a paid flooring tool with a listed monthly estimate of 89.00 USD for one user; the price varies with users, add-ons, training, integrations and business needs.

Verdict

FloorIQ is a strong candidate for commercial flooring contractors who want estimating, material control, crew scheduling and payroll joined around the same jobs. Its most distinctive practical advantage is the link between purchase orders and scheduled crew days, supported by inventory tools built for flooring stock. Look elsewhere if your operation falls outside commercial flooring, you need more than 10 Pro users, or a live two-way QuickBooks connection is essential.
