FloorQuote

A custom operating system for a flooring business

This is what happens when inboxes, spreadsheets, quoting, products, jobs, Xero and business knowledge are brought into one connected system — built around the way the business actually works.

Flooring · Kaitaia, Northland · Built for P&P Flooring Ltd

The problem

When the inbox becomes the operating system

P&P Flooring Ltd had outgrown the tools holding the business together. The work was getting done, but it lived in too many places — and too much of it lived in people’s heads.

  • Quoting spread across spreadsheets and inboxes — every quote a little different depending on who built it.
  • Product and pricing knowledge living in people’s heads, not in the business.
  • Customer enquiries easy to lose track of in a shared inbox.
  • Job handovers buried in long email threads.
  • Xero and day-to-day admin disconnected from the quoting workflow.

The system we built

One connected workflow, end to end

FloorQuote brings the whole job lifecycle into a single system — from a new enquiry arriving in Gmail, through quoting and pricing, to a tracked job and clean handover.

Enquiry intake

New customer enquiries enter the system instead of sitting in an inbox.

Quote builder

Quotes are built step by step using the business’s own rules.

Room & product pricing

Rooms, products and ranges priced consistently in one place.

Labour & prep calculations

Floor prep, adhesive, underlay and labour worked out the same way every time.

Job board

Won quotes become tracked jobs with separate office and installer views.

Gmail workboard

Overnight email is triaged and summarised before the office opens.

Xero contacts & quotes

Financial admin lines up with the quoting workflow instead of being re-entered.

Admin dashboard

A private control room for settings, data and oversight.

AI knowledge base

Flooring standards and the business’s own rules, made usable by the team.

Deployment & admin tools

Reliable, self-hosted infrastructure with safe, repeatable deployments.

Complexity made simple

The complexity is behind the scenes. The user sees one clear path.

Connected data

Customer, site, product, pricing and job information lives in one place and flows through every step — entered once, used everywhere.

Business-specific logic

The quoting rules are P&P Flooring Ltd’s own — vinyl drop, prep, labour, wet-area rules — not a generic template bent to fit.

Reliable operations

Self-hosted infrastructure and safe, repeatable deployments keep the system running and improving without drama.

The value

What changes for the business

No vanity metrics — just the practical difference of one connected system.

Faster quoting

Quotes come together from the business’s rules instead of being rebuilt by hand each time.

Fewer missed details

Rooms, measurements, prep and products are captured consistently, so less slips through.

Cleaner job handovers

Installers get a clear, scoped job pack — no digging through email threads.

Better visibility

Owners and office can see active jobs and where things stand at a glance.

Less owner dependency

The business’s knowledge lives in the system, not only in one person’s head.

A system that grows

New rules, products and steps can be added as the business changes.

Still evolving

A living system, not a finished template

FloorQuote isn’t a product dropped in and left. It’s a living system that keeps changing as P&P Flooring Ltd grows — new rules, new products, new steps — refined in step with the business. That’s the difference between buying software and building a system around how you actually work.
