What Is Surfaces / TISE 2027?

The International Surface Event (TISE) — commonly referred to as Surfaces — is the largest flooring, stone, and tile trade show in North America. It is operated by Informa Markets and brings together independent retailers, manufacturers, distributors, designers, and installers from across the country and around the world for three days of new product launches, education sessions, and industry connection.

For independent flooring retailers, Surfaces is the one show where you can see almost every meaningful product category, technology platform, and supplier in the same place. It's where buying decisions get made, partnerships get formed, and where many of the most successful retailers in our industry plan their year.

You can learn more about the show, register to attend, or browse the exhibitor list at intlsurfaceevent.com.

Why We're Coming Back, Bigger

Our first Surfaces was an experiment. We showed up with a small booth and a thesis: that flooring, carpet, and rug retailers deserve software built specifically for how they actually run their business — not generic CRM, not warehouse software repurposed for retail, not a stack of disconnected tools held together with spreadsheets.

That thesis has been playing out. Over the past year, retailers across the country have been switching to Service Buddy from older flooring store software and from manual processes. We've heard the same story from many of them: they wanted one place to handle quoting, jobs, inventory, scheduling, payments, and customer communication — and they wanted software that understood the workflow of a rug or carpet shop without forcing them to bend their business around it.

That feedback shaped what we built next. A booth that's three times larger this year reflects something simple: there's more to show, more of the industry is paying attention, and we want to make sure every retailer who stops by has the space and time for a real conversation.

What You'll See at Booth 3249

If you're planning your Surfaces 2027 schedule, here's what to expect when you stop by:

The full Service Buddy platform, live. Quoting, jobs, inventory, scheduling, payments, customer communication — all in one operating system designed specifically for flooring, carpet, and rug retailers. You'll see the same software our customers use to run their stores every day, not a slide deck or a marketing demo.

Real customer workflows. We'll walk through how independent retailers use Service Buddy to handle measure-and-quote cycles, manage installation schedules, track inventory by roll and remnant, process payments, and stay in touch with their customers — all from one platform.

The team behind the product. I'll be at the booth, along with the engineers and customer success folks who actually build and support Service Buddy. If you have hard questions about how the platform works, how it would fit your store, or what we're building next — this is the place to ask them.

Time to actually talk. A bigger booth means we can sit down with retailers who are seriously evaluating new software, instead of giving 90-second pitches to a crowd. If you want to bring your team or your partner, we'll make space.

Who Should Stop By

Surfaces draws a wide audience, but if any of these describe you, we'd genuinely love to meet:

You run an independent flooring, carpet, or rug store. Whether you have one location or several, whether you've been in business for thirty years or three, Service Buddy is built for you. Come see what modern, industry-specific software looks like.

You're evaluating new operating software for your store. Maybe your current system is twenty years old and breaks every other week. Maybe you're running on a patchwork of QuickBooks, Excel, and email. Maybe you're already paying for software that doesn't quite fit. We'd like to show you what an alternative looks like.

You're a manufacturer or distributor thinking about how independent retailers sell your products. Strong retailer software helps your product move. We're happy to talk about how Service Buddy helps your retail partners quote, sell, and service the products you ship them.

You're an interior designer who works with flooring retailers. Service Buddy includes designer-friendly features that make collaboration easier — and we'd love to hear what would make your life better.
