Choosing flooring software is not complicated in theory. In practice, it's one of the most disorienting decisions a flooring retailer makes, mostly because the options don't clearly sort themselves by category.

Some tools are full business management platforms. Some are estimating-only. A few are built for general construction and treat flooring as one trade among many. Comparing them without knowing that is like comparing a pickup truck to a forklift because both move things.

This post covers five of the most commonly searched flooring software tools: HomeArize, RFMS, QFloors, MeasureSquare, and PlanSwift. For each one, you'll get a clear picture of what it actually does, what it costs, what it's missing, and what type of business it genuinely fits.

No paid placements here. No invented statistics. Pricing figures come directly from each vendor's website or from publicly listed third-party review data.

Who This Comparison Is For

This post is written for flooring retailers and dealers, not installers or general contractors. The operational needs are different.

A flooring retailer manages a showroom, a product catalog, manufacturer relationships, sales staff with commissions, and customers who need to see samples, get quotes, and pay deposits. The software that runs that business needs to handle all of it without requiring a full-time IT person to keep it running.

If you're a general contractor who lays floors among other trades, some of the tools at the bottom of this list may suit you better. But if you run a flooring store or dealership, the ERP-level tools are what you need, and the comparison table will make the differences obvious.

What Flooring-Specific Software Actually Needs to Do

Before the comparisons: a quick grounding in what separates flooring software from generic business software.

Dye lot and roll tracking: Carpet and some sheet vinyl come in rolls from different dye lots. Putting two dye lots in the same room is a visible defect. Good flooring software tracks which roll is which, right down to the cut.

Commission management: Flooring sales staff are often paid on margin, not just revenue. Commissions may be split between the person who sourced the lead and the person who closed it. This needs to be calculated automatically, not in a spreadsheet.

FCB2B integration: The Floor Covering B2B standard lets dealers pull live pricing, inventory availability, and product data directly from manufacturers like Shaw, Mohawk, and Armstrong into their software. Manual catalog updates are a major time drain without it.

Customer-facing payments: The ability for a customer to log in, review their invoice, and pay by ACH or card without calling the store is a real time saver once you're doing volume. Most generic small business software doesn't have this.

With that in mind, here's the full breakdown.

HomeArize

Website: homearize.com | Best for:Flooring retailers and dealers, all sizes

HomeArize is a cloud-based business management platform built specifically for flooring retailers and dealers. It handles the full operating cycle from lead capture through final payment, in one system, without requiring a long-term contract or an IT budget to deploy.

The feature set covers lead tracking, CRM, quoting and invoicing, contractor scheduling, commission management, inventory, purchase orders, and a customer portal where buyers can review and pay invoices online. The platform integrates with QuickBooks, Xero, MeasureSquare, Google and Outlook calendars, Stripe for payments, and MailChimp for email marketing.

FCB2B integration connects HomeArize directly to manufacturer product feeds, which keeps pricing and product data current without manual entry. Commission splits between lead source and closer are handled automatically. The dye lot and roll tracking built into the inventory module is the kind of detail that matters to flooring businesses and is frequently missing from generic ERP tools.

Pricing is listed publicly on the HomeArize website, which already puts it in a smaller category than most competitors. The Starter plan is free, permanently, for one user. It includes lead tracking, unlimited quotes, up to 5 invoices per month, scheduling, and product management with no credit card required. The Entry plan at $19/month adds unlimited invoices, contractor timesheets, and Google Maps routing. The Growth plan at $29/month adds QuickBooks and MeasureSquare integration, purchase orders, Stripe payment collection, and a free marketing website. The Enterprise plan at $49/month adds full inventory management, PDF takeoff, a project dashboard, and internal team chat.

Additional users are billed at $12 to $29/month depending on plan, and there are no setup fees, no training fees, and no contracts.

For a flooring retailer who has been running on spreadsheets and QuickBooks, the step up to HomeArize at $29/month is one of the lowest-friction modernization moves in the market. The free plan removes the risk from the evaluation entirely.

Pricing: $0 / $19 / $29 / $49 per month | No contracts | No setup fees

Free plan: Yes, permanent, no credit card required

RFMS (by Cyncly)

Website: rfms.com | Best for: Mid-to-large flooring dealers needing mature ERP

RFMS has been in the floor covering industry since the mid-1980s. Now part of Cyncly, it describes itself as the market-leading solution for flooring businesses and works with over 3,000 businesses across the US, Canada, Australia, and the UK. The platform is a full ERP covering accounting, inventory, order processing, CRM, and detailed sales reporting.

For established dealerships doing significant volume, RFMS has genuine depth. Private-label product databases, real-time inventory, B2B manufacturer integration, and tight financial controls are all part of the system. The financial reporting module is particularly thorough, which matters when you're managing multiple locations or large commercial accounts.

RFMS is not simple to evaluate from the outside. There is no pricing listed on the website. You contact a sales representative, and pricing is based on the scope of your implementation. According to a post on the company's own user portal, RFMS acknowledged price increases in 2024 as part of its transition from legacy one-time license purchases to a subscription model. Existing customers who bought perpetual licenses are being moved to subscription pricing.

The platform is also in a transitional phase technically. RFMS Next, a rebuilt version on a modern development platform, is in active development. For buyers, that creates some uncertainty about the current version's roadmap. Whether to implement now or wait is a real question worth asking in the sales conversation.

RFMS is a strong choice for a large, established dealership that needs deep financial controls and is willing to invest time and money in a comprehensive implementation. For smaller or growing retailers, the lack of transparent pricing and the platform's complexity may be barriers worth weighing.

Pricing: Not publicly listed. Subscription-based; contact sales for a quote.

Free plan: No

QFloors

Website: qfloors.com | Best for: Flooring dealers from small stores to large multi-location operations

QFloors has been a recognized name in floor covering software for a long time. The platform is ERP software built for flooring dealers specifically, covering leads, proposals, invoicing, job costing, inventory, accounting, purchase orders, commission calculation, and vendor management.

Customer testimonials on the QFloors website are detailed and from named businesses. White River Flooring credits QFloors with growth from under $1 million to $14 million in revenue. Messner Flooring reports a 79% increase in sales and over 300% improvement in profit margins. These are not vague claims. They're attributed to real dealerships and have been publicly listed on the company's own site.

QFloors integrates with MeasureSquare for estimating, supports FCB2B catalog imports, connects with DocuSign, Podium, and Roomvo, and includes integrated credit card processing through QPay. The platform has six main screens to learn, which the company positions as a sign of simplicity. Users in reviews generally agree the interface is learnable, though some describe it as dated-feeling compared to newer software.

In January 2025, Roomvo, a room visualization platform, acquired QFloors. The combined offering now includes ERP, room visualization, digital marketing tools, AI chat, and showroom technology. QFloors leadership remains in place and pricing has not changed following the acquisition.

Pricing: the cloud entry-level QPro Lite starts at $55/month, which covers basic inventory, sales orders, and scheduling for hard surface flooring. The full QFloors ERP is quote-based and typically higher. Unlimited training and phone support are included with purchase.

QFloors fits well for flooring retailers who want proven, flooring-specific ERP software and are comfortable with a more traditional software experience. The lack of a free plan and the quote-based pricing for the full system mean the evaluation process takes longer than with more transparent competitors.

Pricing: QPro Lite from $55/mo. Full QFloors ERP is quote-based.

Free plan: No. Demo available on request.

MeasureSquare

Website: measuresquare.com | Best for: Estimators who need professional flooring takeoff software

MeasureSquare is the category leader in flooring takeoff and estimating. It is not a business management platform. It does not replace an ERP. It does one specific set of things very well: measuring floors, generating material estimates, optimizing seam layouts, minimizing waste, and producing professional bid proposals.

The software handles carpet, tile, LVP, hardwood, sheet vinyl, and stone. It includes laser meter integration for on-site measuring, 3D visualization of layouts, dye lot and roll length allocation within estimates, pattern matching, and custom tile pattern design. The commercial edition adds AI-assisted floor plan drawing, batch PDF import, and project phasing for multi-stage installations.

MeasureSquare integrates with QFloors, Roll Master, and Comp-U-Floor for exporting estimate data into accounting systems. It also connects with Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics. The platform is trusted by large industry names, with Daltile and Sherwin Williams cited in MeasureSquare's own marketing materials as customers.

Pricing is transparent and public. The Retail edition runs $54/month or $540/year per user, suited to residential showroom work. The Multi-family edition is $164/month or $1,640/year per user for blueprint-based projects with unit duplication. The Commercial edition is $197/month or $1,970/year per user for high-volume bids with AI takeoff and batch imports.

The limitation is scope. MeasureSquare has no inventory management, no CRM, no commission management, no purchase orders, no scheduling, and no customer payment portal. For a flooring retailer, it needs to be paired with a full business management platform to run operations. Many retailers use MeasureSquare for estimating and integrate it with another system like HomeArize or QFloors for everything else.

Pricing: $54/mo (Retail) | $164/mo (Multi-family) | $197/mo (Commercial), per user

Free plan: Free trial available. No permanent free tier.

PlanSwift (by ConstructConnect)

Website: planswift.com | Best for: General contractors doing multi-trade takeoffs including flooring

PlanSwift is a construction takeoff and estimating tool owned by ConstructConnect. It is not flooring-specific. It serves general contracting, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, drywall, concrete, landscaping, and flooring as one of many supported trades. Its core function is letting estimators click directly on digital blueprints to calculate areas, lengths, volumes, and perimeters.

For flooring work, PlanSwift calculates square footage and linear measurements, supports drag-and-drop assemblies for material and labor costs, and exports directly to Excel. Flooring-specific plug-ins exist as paid add-ons and include pre-built templates and assemblies for floor covering trades. The software integrates with Excel but does not connect natively to flooring ERP systems or manufacturer B2B catalogs.

Pricing has been structured around a one-time license historically, around $1,595 to $1,749, including the first year of updates and phone support. After year one, ongoing support costs around $250 per license per year. Some users who purchased perpetual licenses before 2025 report being transitioned toward annual subscriptions against their expectations, which has generated negative feedback in user reviews.

PlanSwift works well for a general contractor who estimates across multiple trades and wants a single tool for all of them. For a dedicated flooring retailer, the gaps are significant: no inventory, no CRM, no commissions, no purchase orders, no scheduling, and no customer payment capability. If you're running a flooring business rather than estimating one job type among many, PlanSwift is not the center of your software stack.

Pricing: ~$1,749/year or ~$1,595 one-time license. $250/license/year for ongoing support after year one.

Free plan: Free trial available. No free tier.

Feature Comparison

The table below covers 16 features that matter for flooring retail operations. A checkmark means the feature exists in at least one paid plan, not necessarily the entry-level tier.

Pricing at a Glance

Pricing is the most searched element in any software comparison and also the most frequently misrepresented. The table below reflects only publicly available pricing information as of early 2025. RFMS and the full QFloors ERP require a direct sales conversation before any pricing is shared.

RFMS and full QFloors ERP pricing requires a sales call. MeasureSquare and PlanSwift pricing from vendor websites. HomeArize pricing from homearize.com/pricing.

Matching the Tool to the Business

These five tools are not interchangeable. Here's a plain summary of who each one actually serves.

Bottom Line

Most flooring retailers searching for software are looking for one thing: a system that connects leads, quotes, inventory, commissions, and payments without charging enterprise prices or requiring a six-month implementation.

RFMS and QFloors are capable platforms with real track records. Their lack of transparent pricing means the evaluation process is longer than it needs to be. MeasureSquare and PlanSwift are the right tools for what they do, but neither runs a flooring retail business.

HomeArize is the only platform in this comparison that starts free, shows its pricing publicly, requires no contract, covers the full retail operation cycle, and includes features like commission management, a customer portal, and ACH payments as part of a plan that starts at $29/month. For a flooring retailer trying to modernize without overcommitting, that's a combination worth looking at before signing anything else.
