Carman vs QFloors

Carman is cloud-based business management software for flooring retailers, carpet shops, wholesalers, and contractors. It follows work from customer order through delivery and fitting, with flooring estimates, installation scheduling, invoicing, and payments. Stock management tracks multiple locations and products sold by pack, square metre, box, or length. Its CRM stores multiple names, addresses, and contact details for an organisation and links to Companies House and Royal Mail. Users can send quotes and invoices by email or SMS, create payment links, and track payments with reminders. Carman exports information to Sage, Xero, and QuickBooks, and lists Yoti Sign, Fidelity Payment, and Blink Payments integrations. The iOS and Android Companion App includes a diary, delivery checklist, device tracking, stock adjustments, job photos, and customer sign-off, with role-based permissions. A B2B portal uses the API to show live stock. Pricing is on request; demonstrations are free and no-obligation.

QFloors is business management software for flooring businesses, connecting sales, inventory, purchasing, accounting, scheduling, and installations. Its workflows cover flooring-specific details such as rolls, cuts, remnants, square-yard calculations, use tax, and commissions. Users can track job costs, margins, and profitability in real time, manage product quantities and purchase orders tied to jobs, and handle flooring estimates, material orders, installation scheduling, invoicing, and payments. It is listed for Android, iOS, web, and Windows. The cloud-hosted service runs on Microsoft Azure, and the maker says it can be accessed with an internet connection. The QFloors plan is $89 a month for one user, with pricing varying by user count, add-ons, training, integrations, and business needs; a 1,500.00 USD one-time setup fee is shown as reduced to 0.00 USD. Optional products cover document management, customer account access, lead sharing, installer schedules, labor scheduling, and showroom inventory tags. The system will not work with a VPN connection, and wireless networking and internet are strongly discouraged.
