The modern QFloors alternative for flooring retailers
QFloors launched in the mid-1990s — back when Windows 95 was new and the iPhone was over a decade away. In flooring-software years, that's a long time. The shape of the product reflects it: a Windows-rooted ERP that takes months to roll out and configure, an interface your team can't really use on an iPad, and a feature stack built around the chart of accounts rather than the customer. In January 2025, QFloors was acquired by Roomvo, which usually marks a meaningful roadmap shift away from the standalone ERP many flooring stores have used for decades. Service Buddy is the modern, independent, family-owned alternative — built for how flooring retailers sell in 2026, on iPads, in the showroom, with one-click sign-and-pay.
What changes when you move from QFloors to Service Buddy
Live in 5 days, not 5 months.
QFloors implementations are measured in weeks-to-months — "on-site training, premium implementation, classroom-style training" all priced separately. Service Buddy gets most stores fully live in 5 days, with about 3 hours of your team's time spread across a week. Our team does the data work. You stay focused on running the store.
Run your business on an iPad — not just a Windows machine.
QFloors was built when "mobile" meant "we'll ship you a Pocket PC". The current product still feels rooted in the back-office desktop. Service Buddy is cloud-native: your salespeople quote on iPads in the showroom, your installers work jobs from their phones, your manager pulls margin reports from anywhere. No version upgrades, no Citrix, no IT consultant.
Digital proposals that close 90% faster.
Service Buddy's digital proposals are designed for how customers buy today: a clean, branded quote sent by text or email, signed and paid in one click on any device. Apple Pay, ACH, or card. Our customers consistently report 90% faster approvals.
You keep QuickBooks. You stop fighting it.
Most flooring stores already have QuickBooks Online — and so does their accountant. Service Buddy assumes you're keeping it. Our two-way QBO sync handles invoices, payments, customers, items, and tax codes automatically. Your CPA's life doesn't change.
Independent, family-owned, and easy to reach.
QFloors was acquired by Roomvo in January 2025. Acquisitions reshape roadmaps and reshape support. Service Buddy is independent and family-owned — our founders are personally involved in onboarding, and our team answers when you call. You're a partner, not a ticket number behind a roll-up.
