If you are weighing BillyBot against PlanIt Flooring and your bottleneck is office work, choose BillyBot. It runs the office side of a flooring business from first enquiry to final invoice: it reads the inbox, drafts quotes on your own prices and prepares invoices for Xero, Sage or QuickBooks, with nothing sent or posted until you approve it.
BillyBot is our product. It was built by a flooring business, on 20 years of running one.

BillyBot, if your bottleneck is office work. It reads the inbox, turns enquiries into jobs, prices quotes on your own supplier prices and labour rates, drafts the reply, prepares the invoice for Xero, Sage or QuickBooks, writes the RAMS and reminds you about quotes that have gone quiet. You approve each step, so nothing goes to a customer or into your accounts behind your back.
If the hours you lose go on everything around the quote (the enquiry sitting unanswered, the figures typed twice into the accounts, the RAMS a site wants before Monday, the chase nobody gets round to), a faster calculator will not fix it. BillyBot does the first draft of that work and hands it to you, so you win more work and protect your margin without adding a wage.
UK flooring contractors, fitting firms and flooring shops that lose evenings to enquiries, quotes, email and invoices. It suits a business with work coming in faster than the office can handle it, fitters to keep in step, and tenders to price alongside domestic jobs.
If all you need is a counter till and cash-up, BillyBot isn't built as one. It is built to run the office side of a flooring business, from first enquiry to final invoice.
A quote drafted on your own rates, waiting for your yes. The real app, running on the page.

One price, everything in it, no feature tiers.
Unlimited fitters free · Annual billing saves two months · 14-day free trial · Cancel anytime
Use the 14-day trial on your own jobs, not a feature list.
Sync customers from Xero, Sage or QuickBooks, then upload supplier price lists as PDF, Excel or CSV. A test on demo rates proves nothing.
A stairs-and-landing, a whole-house carpet, a commercial vinyl. Check areas, cuts, underlay and totals. Our carpet calculator is a second opinion; cutting plan software explains the nesting.
Not just the quote: from email landing to quote sent, including typing, chasing and filing. That total is what you are buying down. See flooring quoting software.
Give Billy your Gmail or Outlook for a week and count how many enquiries came back drafted, priced and filed without you starting them.
Choose BillyBot if your bottleneck is office work. It is an AI operator that does the office work first and hands it to you: it reads the inbox, turns enquiries into jobs, prices the quote on your own rates, drafts the reply, prepares the invoice for Xero, Sage or QuickBooks and reminds you about quotes that have gone quiet. You approve each step before anything goes out.
BillyBot is £149 per office seat a month, excluding VAT. Everything is included, with no feature tiers. Fitters are free however many you have, and annual billing saves two months.
Yes. Every seat starts with a 14-day free trial, so you can load your own prices, re-quote real jobs and connect your inbox first. After that it is monthly, and you can cancel anytime.
Yes. Sync customers from Xero, Sage or QuickBooks, upload supplier price lists as PDF, Excel or CSV, and send Billy a photo or PDF of a plan to read into rooms. Keep an export of your old records, and let live jobs finish where they are.
Yes, all three. BillyBot prepares quotes and invoices and sends them across only when you confirm, never automatically. With no accounting software, it produces branded PDFs instead.
No. Fitters are always free, however many you have, with iPhone and Android apps showing their bookings, job sheets, site details and RAMS to sign. Only office seats are paid.
BillyBot, if your bottleneck is the volume of enquiries and tenders rather than the take-off alone. Tender reading is on every seat, with no higher plan to buy: packs are emailed in, and Billy reads the bill of quantities and drawings, prices them on your own rates and names anything it could not read. RAMS with a COSHH section, purchase orders and CIS sit in the same place.
No. Billy prepares and brings it to you: replies, quotes and invoices wait for your approval. You can switch on auto-send for emails, and tick a box to chase a quiet quote. Nothing reaches Xero, Sage or QuickBooks without your confirmation, and a customer payment link only appears once you have connected card payments.
Price a few real jobs, connect your inbox, see what comes back ready for your approval. 14 days free, fitters always free, cancel anytime.
