| Scheduling | Crew days are tied to the purchase orders they depend on, and delivery-date changes flag affected scheduled crew days. | The platform provides a calendar for jobs, installations, reminders and tasks. |
| Security | The privacy notice states that FloorIQ uses encryption in transit, hashed passwords, row-level tenant isolation and role-based access controls. | The privacy policy says Service Buddy uses commercially reasonable safeguards, including encryption in transit and at rest; its pricing FAQ also states payment processing is PCI-compliant. |
| Support | FloorIQ is built and run by Joseph Gillespie, who provides direct email support rather than a support queue. | Every account includes access to the team by phone, text or email, and the company describes training, onboarding and ongoing support as included. |

In their own words
FloorIQ
FloorIQ is web-based estimating, quoting, purchasing, and job-management software for commercial flooring contractors. Its workflow covers bids, quotes, purchase orders, warehouse inventory, crew scheduling, invoicing, payroll, and job profitability. Estimates use material-cost and labor-rate libraries, live margins, revisions, branded PDF proposals, and online signatures. Takeoff exports in.xlsx,.xls, or.csv format, including MeasureSquare exports, can be converted into takeoff line items. Purchasing includes order acknowledgements, price-variance tracking, roll and lot tracking, barcode cycle counts, delivery tickets, and reorder suggestions. Crew days connect to required purchase orders, and delivery-date changes flag affected scheduled days. Weekly payroll handles regular, overtime, double-time, classifications, weekly-salary employees, printable paystubs, and exports. FloorIQ exports financial and payroll data as CSV for QuickBooks posting, but has no live two-way sync. The free plan allows five projects with no time limit; Pro costs $500 a month per company for up to 10 users.
