FloorIQ

Overview

FloorIQ follows a commercial flooring job from bid through purchasing, scheduling, invoicing and profitability. Bringing those functions together can give a contractor a clearer operational thread than a tool focused on estimates alone. Its trade focus is also a firm boundary: it is not designed for residential-only retail showrooms, solo one-day residential installers or businesses in 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 mix is useful for teams that need customer-ready bids while keeping an eye on profitability as an estimate changes. FloorIQ can also turn .xlsx, .xls or .csv takeoff exports—including MeasureSquare exports—into takeoff line items. This eases transfer from measurement work, though it is an upload workflow rather than a live integration.

Purchasing, inventory and scheduling

Purchase-order acknowledgements and price-variance tracking help contractors follow orders against expected costs. Roll and lot tracking, barcode cycle counts, delivery tickets and reorder suggestions extend that coverage into warehouse operations. Scheduling is tied to the purchase orders crews depend on, and a delivery-date change flags affected crew days. That connection is a practical strength for teams whose installation plans hinge on material arrival.

Payroll and accounting

Weekly payroll handles regular, overtime and double-time hours, classifications, weekly-salary employees, printable paystubs and exports. FloorIQ can export invoices, accounts-receivable aging, vendor bills, general ledger and payroll data as CSV for QuickBooks posting. Contractors seeking automatic, two-way accounting sync should look elsewhere for that capability: FloorIQ does not yet provide it.

Access, support and migration

Each company gets an isolated workspace with database-level tenant scoping and role-based permissions; the privacy notice also describes encryption in transit and hashed passwords. FloorIQ is run by Joseph Gillespie, who provides direct email support rather than a support queue. Free migration of customer, vendor, item and price, and open-job data from CSV or Excel is offered on every plan, reducing the effort of bringing existing records across.

Pricing

The Free plan costs 0.00 USD per free, has no time limit and requires no credit card, but caps usage at five projects. It is a low-commitment way for a small contractor to try the workflow or manage a handful of jobs; a growing project load will quickly make the cap restrictive. There is no free trial.

Pro costs 500.00 USD per month, billed per company, and supports up to 10 users with unlimited quotes and purchase orders. It fits a commercial flooring business that needs ongoing multi-user operations and has outgrown the free project allowance. The free tier gives up the stated Pro allowances for unlimited quotes and purchase orders, while Pro's company billing means the price is not per seat. After a paid period ends, the workspace becomes read-only: users can still open and export records, and data is not deleted immediately.

Platforms

FloorIQ is web-based. Its listed mobile platform is also web, so teams should not assume a separate native mobile app.

Who it's for

FloorIQ is a strong fit for commercial flooring contractors coordinating estimates, material orders, inventory, crews and job costs across a team. It is less suitable for a business whose core need is residential retail sales, one-person residential installation, another trade's workflows, or direct two-way QuickBooks synchronization.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Flooring-specific coverage joins quotes, purchasing, inventory, scheduling, payroll and job profitability in one workflow, which is useful when several teams share responsibility for a job.
• Pros: Takeoff spreadsheet imports and free CSV or Excel migration can ease the move from existing measurement exports and records.
• Pros: The no-time-limit, no-card free plan offers a practical starting point for up to five projects.
• Cons: Pro's 500.00 USD per month per-company price is a substantial step beyond a small-project trial, even though it covers up to 10 users.
• Cons: QuickBooks work relies on CSV exports, not live two-way synchronization, leaving an extra posting step.
• Cons: The web-only platform and narrow commercial flooring focus rule it out for some mobile-first or cross-trade businesses.

Alternatives

Flooring Contractor Software is the category list for comparing flooring tools. MeasureSquare is worth considering when measurement work and mobile, desktop or API platform options matter; its MeasureSquare Mobile Retail plan is 54.00 USD per month for 1 user and includes in-store sales and on-site consultations, while FloorIQ centers on commercial job operations. FloorWizard is another flooring-focused option, with pricing available by contacting sales. RFMS is an alternative to evaluate through a demo, with pricing available on request. QFloors may suit buyers comparing a monthly-priced flooring system: its calculator estimates 89.00 USD per month for 1 user, with price varying by users, add-ons, training, integrations and business needs. RollMaster offers an RM Text Alert plan at 99.00 USD per month for 1,000 texts, one text-only phone number and one dashboard. HomeArize has an Entry plan at 17.00 USD per month and is an option to compare when its contractor, customer and manufacturer management, file storage and marketing email allowance fit the need. GoBuild provides a quote after a demo for an Everything plan with unlimited jobs, all features, the whole crew and no add-ons. Cilio is another paid option available on web, iOS and Android.

Verdict

Choose FloorIQ if you run a commercial flooring operation and want estimates, purchasing, inventory, crew scheduling and job costs linked in one trade-specific system. Its strongest reason to buy is that operational breadth, backed by takeoff imports and direct email support. Look elsewhere if the $500.00 USD per month Pro commitment is too steep, if you need live QuickBooks sync, or if your work falls outside commercial flooring.
