In their own words
RFMS
RFMS is an ERP for flooring businesses, with tools spanning financial management, products, inventory, quoting, sales, and installation work. Accounting consolidates financial data for real-time reporting, tax management, and audit trails. Product management handles store-specific products and prices, electronic purchase orders, and spreadsheet import and export. Inventory covers barcode-supported receiving, counts, adjustments, and stock across warehouses. Quoting combines catalogs, pricing, discounts, and shipping costs, and can show projected gross profit; sales reporting includes real-time performance data, automatic accruals, and revenue recognition.
RFMS Mobile supports quotes, order entry, product availability checks, and sales document delivery. The listed capabilities also include takeoff measurements, flooring estimates, material orders, installation scheduling, job costing, invoicing and payments, glass estimating, cut lists, fabrication workflows, and material tracking. A REST API with Basic Auth connects business data to external applications. B2B eCommerce exchanges documents with enabled vendors, and website integration sends leads into RFMS. Platforms listed are Android, iOS, web, Windows, and API. Pricing is on request.
