“ OThis was a comment from a QFloors customer recently . He was surprised at the noteworthy difference that consistently job costing ( on the showroom floor ) made to his bottom line .
Historically , floor covering dealers have tended to run their businesses on “ best guesstimates ”.

They have not known ( in real time ) what their profit margins would be on any particular job . They would find out whether they made or lost money after they ’ d already sold the job , or after the job was completed , or sometimes , even much later . In fact , a large percentage , particularly retailers using generic accounting software , have never truly had an accurate picture of how much they profit on each job . So they just use an educated guess and more or less fly their business blind .
It doesn ’ t take a genius to realize that may not be the wisest or most profitable manner of conducting business .
Hundreds of QFloors customers have bucked that trend , because the flooring software has a unique , easy-to-use tool that allows you to instantly see , in real time , whether you are going to make or lose money ( and how much ), on each particular order .
While many software products offer a job costing feature , QFloors ’ tool is distinctive . The information pops up on the side of the invoice screen with a click of the mouse , and is painless , simple , and automatic . You are not required to flip through other screens or menus , or go through long computation processes . The sales rep can immediately see , even before they finish writing up the bid or invoice , just how much profit is being made , and then adjust accordingly . This type of tracking helps ensure that you are not simply selling product , but garnering profits as a business .
