Flooring software
DispatchMind runs a flooring company from one place: calls and leads in, jobs on the schedule, the work on your team’s phones, then the invoice. Pick Flooring when you sign up and it’s set up for your trade from the first screen. You can change any of it later.
A flooring job starts with a tape measure and a sample bag and ends with a crew on their knees for days. In between you are ordering material, waiting on delivery and moving furniture. DispatchMind keeps the measurements, product choice, install dates and crew on one job so the floor goes in on schedule.
A typical flooring job in DispatchMind
- A homeowner books an estimate visit for laminate in the bedrooms through your website.
- You measure each room, record the product and square footage in job fields, and send a signed estimate.
- The job is tagged Material ordered, and the parts inventory shows what underlayment and trim you already have.
- Once material arrives, the install crew is booked on the calendar and gets the job in their tech app.
- The crew posts finished photos, the job is tagged Ready to invoice, and the customer pays by card.
What flooring owners tell us slows them down
Waiting on material stalls everything
Flooring jobs sit for weeks waiting on product. Color tags show which jobs are waiting and which are ready to install, and the stuck jobs report flags anything that hasn't moved in 60 days.
Leftover stock nobody tracks
Extra boxes of vinyl plank and rolls of underlayment pile up in the shop. The parts inventory shows what you have on hand, so you use it before you order more.
Customers forget what they picked
A year later the homeowner wants one more room in the same floor. The customer page keeps the product, color and photos from the original install, so you can match it.

Nellie knows the trade
Nellie is the assistant built into DispatchMind. On a flooring account she knows how your customers talk and what to ask:
- Which floor type and which rooms?
- About how many square feet?
- Is there an old floor to pull up?
- Best time window and the address?
What she treats as urgent: Water under the floor (leak) means a plumber first; A soft or sagging spot someone could fall through.
What she never does: Never quote a price the company hasn’t set in its price book; Never promise what the tech will find before the visit.
Everything else
- Jobs move through four plain steps: Submitted, In progress, Pending, Done pending approval. Your trade’s own steps are color tags you can sort by.
- Estimates and invoices from your price book.
- A tech app for your team, with what each person may see set by you.
- Reports and commissions worked out from your own jobs.
- Bring your customers and jobs over from the system you use now.
Flooring software: common questions
Can I record square footage and product on each flooring job?
Yes. Add custom job fields for square footage, product, color and room. They stay on the job and the customer page.
Can I track flooring materials I have in the shop?
Yes. The parts inventory shows what you have on hand, like underlayment, trim and leftover boxes, so you know before you order.
How do I schedule a multi-day flooring install?
Book the job across the days you need and put the crew on it. Each installer sees it in the tech app, and crew pay split is worked out at close.
Can I separate refinishing jobs from new installs in my reports?
Yes. Set up job types like Refinishing, Hardwood install and Carpet install. Reports by job type show volume and money for each.
Can I try DispatchMind for my flooring company before paying?
Yes. You get a 14-day free trial with every feature on, Nellie included, and no card needed. After that it runs month to month, so you can stop any time.
