When a flooring business runs on a patchwork of disconnected tools, they are setting themselves up for disaster. Inventory in one system, quotes in another and invoices somewhere else, it’s more common than you think. On top of that, all the data has to be manually moved between all of them every single day.
Here’s the difference of running your business on Kronus Flooring Software:
Doing everything manually isn’t an ERP, it’s a collection of workarounds. Unfortunately, it costs your flooring business more than you realize. Traditional ERP systems built for manufacturing or generic retail make flooring businesses work around software that isn’t made for them. Flooring retailers, flooring dealers and flooring contractors need an ERP built around their work flow. Kronus Flooring Software does exactly that. Our system caters to the way inventory is tracked and the way jobs move from estimate to installation. Reach out to us to learn more about what our flooring business management software can do for you.
The majority of ERP systems were made for manufacturing or broad retail industries, not the specific workflows of flooring businesses. While they can handle general inventory, general order management and general reporting, that’s all you get, general. Flooring retail has a different structure: selling products by square foot, tracking rolls and remnants separately, jobs that flow from quote to measure to install and a sales process involving multiple touchpoints before a single floor gets laid.
When a flooring business uses a generic ERP system, they have to come up with constant workarounds. Features don’t match the workflow. Data has to be re-entered between systems. Reports don’t give you the visibility you need to manage a flooring operation.
A flooring-specific ERP system eliminates workarounds using a platform built for flooring businesses, not a generic ERP vendor assumes they have things figured out.
Kronus Flooring Software brings the core functions a flooring business needs into one connected ERP platform. No need for separate systems for different parts of the operation or no manual bridging between tools. You cover everything from first customer contact through to final invoice.
Kronus Flooring Software tracks your entire product inventory in real time including rolls, cuts, remnants and stock across every product type your flooring business carries. Inventory levels update automatically as products are received, committed to jobs and sold. Purchase orders connect directly to your sales workflow so your stock levels always reflect what’s happening in your operation.
In the case of multi-location flooring retailers and flooring dealers, inventory is visible across every location and warehouse from one platform. That means no consolidating data from separate systems at day’s end.
Kronus Flooring Software builds quoting and estimating into the ERP workflow. Your team creates accurate flooring estimates from your live product catalog with B2B supplier pricing that updates automatically. Material costs, labor and additional services are included in one estimate so when your customer accepts, the quotes convert directly into a sales order without anyone having to re-enter data.
That’s the difference a flooring ERP software makes. An estimate doesn’t live in isolation. Instead, it’s the beginning of a connected workflow that makes its way through to installation and invoicing.
From first contact, every lead and every customer is tracked in the CRM that’s built directly into the CRP, not sold as a separate tool. Customer records connect quotes, sales orders, job history and communication logs so your team knows what’s going on without switching between systems.
Lead source tracking allows you to see which marketing efforts are driving the most business and follow-up scheduling holds your sales team accountable without relying on memory or a separate app.
Our system connects sales orders directly to your installation scheduling workflow. Once a job is sold, scheduling information flows through automatically, no separate entry or miscommunication between the office and installation day.
Your installers will know where they have to be and what they need to bring. Scheduling conflicts are caught before they turn into customer problems. Plus, job management stays connected to the rest of the ERP so every cost, change order and update is tracked in one place.
Invoices within our software are generated directly from the sales order so there’s no re-entering information or reconciling between what was quoted and what gets billed. The entire invoicing and billing workflow connects the job from start to finish so your customers get accurate invoices and your team isn’t rebuilding paperwork that’s already in your system.
Payment tracking connects your QuickBooks Online integration so your accounting stays up-to-date without your operations team needing to manage two separate platforms.
We give flooring businesses real-time reports based around how they actually operate. Sales performance, job profitability, inventory levels, purchasing data and cost tracking are available on one platform in real time from anywhere.
For flooring store owners who have been making decisions based on month-old data pulled from disconnected systems, this is a gamechanger. It’s also one of the biggest differences they notice after switching to a flooring-specific ERP system.
Our platform is fully cloud-based so you don’t need servers, expensive hardware or IT infrastructure to run it. Your team can access the platform from any device, it doesn’t matter whether they’re in the showroom, in the warehouse, on a job site or working remotely.
For flooring retailers and commercial flooring contractors who manage operations across multiple locations, cloud-based access is a lifesaver. Everyone can work from the same real-time data without being tied to a single office or server.
Sure, a great flooring ERP has solid features, but every decision we make starts with our core values. Here’s what makes us different and why flooring businesses trust us to run their entire operation:
