BUSINESS TOOLS

Run the Workflow Around the Floor Plan

Floor Planner is more than drawing and takeoff. Business Tools connects the people, pricing, leads and retail quote requests around the project so the organisation can move from customer enquiry to estimator review and installer handover inside one connected platform.

THE BUSINESS WORKFLOW

From enquiry to installer handover.

Business Tools sits around the Floor Planner product workflow. Leads can enter from the website, businesses can control access and pricing, retail customers can request professional quotes, and approved projects can continue through estimating and site handover without rebuilding the job in disconnected systems.
