If you run a flooring business, you know the daily challenges: measurements scribbled on scraps of paper, clients who "never received" your quote, invoicing software that doesn't understand your trade, and no evidence when a dispute arises about that subfloor condition you mentioned before starting work.
Floormen was created to address these exact frustrations. This isn't generic business software hastily adapted for trades - it's a purpose-built solution for flooring professionals who want to operate more efficiently and professionally.
The Real Cost of Disorganisation
Every flooring contractor has experienced it. You're on-site taking measurements, jotting notes wherever you can. Later, you're piecing together a professional quote from hastily written figures and half-remembered conversations.
Then comes the follow-up game. Did the client receive your quote? Have they actually looked at it? Days pass, sometimes weeks, before you discover they "forgot about it" or claim it never arrived. Your cash flow suffers while time evaporates chasing payments.
When disputes emerge - and in flooring work, they do - where's your evidence? Where are the photographs of the existing floor condition? Where's the documentation showing what was actually agreed?
This disorganisation has a real cost. Lost quotes, delayed payments, and disputes you can't prove your side of - it accumulates to thousands of pounds annually.
Everything You Need, In One Place
Floormen transforms your workflow from initial viewing through to final invoice. Here's how it addresses the pain points flooring professionals face daily:
Digital Viewing Sheets
Leave paper notes behind. Floormen's digital viewing sheets capture every detail on-site: room dimensions, photographs, subfloor condition notes, access considerations, and special requirements. Everything syncs instantly, ensuring critical job information is never lost.
Beyond convenience, this demonstrates professionalism. Arriving at a client's property with a tablet rather than a crumpled notepad immediately signals you're a serious professional.
Professional Quotes, Quickly
Generate polished, branded quotes directly from your viewing sheets. No more returning home to spend hours formatting documents. With Floormen, you can create and send professional quotes while still on-site or immediately after.
Here's what changes the game: Floormen tracks when clients view your quotes. No more wondering if they received it. You'll know exactly when they opened it, enabling you to follow up at the perfect moment - when the quote is fresh in their mind.
Streamlined Invoicing
When the job's complete, convert your approved quote to an invoice with a single click. No re-entering data. No errors. No wasted time. The invoice matches the quote, which matches the viewing sheet - complete consistency that eliminates confusion.
Payment tracking and reminders help maintain healthy cash flow. See at a glance who owes you money and send professional follow-ups without awkward personal calls.
Project Galleries: Your Evidence
This feature alone could save you thousands. Project galleries let you document your work beautifully - before, during, and after photographs organised by project. Use them to showcase your craftsmanship to potential clients.
But here's where it truly matters: when disputes arise, you have timestamped evidence. That stain the client claims you caused? You have dated photos proving it existed beforehand. That "damage" to the skirting? Your documentation shows the condition you found it in. When it's your word against theirs, photographic evidence makes all the difference.
Client Management
Keep all client information organised centrally. View complete job histories, track communications, and maintain the professional relationships that generate repeat business and referrals. When a previous client calls back years later, their complete history is at your fingertips.
Time and Expense Tracking
Many flooring contractors quote jobs without truly understanding their costs. Time and expense tracking reveals the reality of each project. Log your hours. Track your materials. See exactly how profitable - or not - each job actually was. This insight transforms how you quote future work.
What Sets Floormen Apart
Built for flooring, not adapted for it. Generic business software forces you to work around its limitations. Floormen was designed from the start for the specific needs of flooring professionals. Every feature addresses real problems floor layers encounter daily.
UK-focused and sensibly priced. Many flooring software solutions are American imports with enterprise pricing (some charge hundreds per month) and features designed for large retail operations. Floormen is built for the UK market, understanding how British flooring businesses actually operate - and you can start free.
Simple to use, powerful when needed. No training course required. Sign up, set up your profile, and you're ready to go. As your business grows, the tools grow with you.
Mobile-first design. Your business happens on-site, not behind a desk. Floormen works wherever you work, capturing information in real-time.
The Impact on Your Business
Save Hours Every Week
Reduce administration time significantly. That's time you can spend on profitable work - or with your family.
Get Paid Faster
Professional quotes convert better. Tracked views enable timely follow-ups. One-click invoicing eliminates delays. Payment reminders do the chasing for you.
Win More Disputes
With documented evidence of job conditions and completed work, spurious complaints become much easier to address.
Present a Professional Image
In a competitive market, the contractor who appears organised wins the job. Floormen helps you look like the professional you are.
Understand Your Profitability
Stop guessing at quotes. Know exactly which jobs make you money and which ones don't.
Getting Started Takes Minutes
Floormen has stripped away the complexity that plagues other business software:
Create your free account and set up your business profile.
Add your first job using the intuitive viewing sheet system.
Send a professional quote and see when your client views it.
Complete the job, click to invoice, and get paid.
No complicated setup. No lengthy training. No expensive subscriptions to try it out.
The Bottom Line
The flooring industry is competitive. The contractors who thrive aren't necessarily the most skilled craftsmen - they're the ones who run their businesses professionally. They quote accurately, invoice promptly, document thoroughly, and present themselves as organised professionals.
Floormen gives every flooring professional the tools to operate at this level.
Don't let disorganisation cost you another job, another dispute, or another late payment.
