For UK flooring contractors, fitting firms and flooring shops whose bottleneck is office work, BillyBot is the flooring software to choose. Most flooring software gives you a better place to type in a job; BillyBot does the work around it, from the first enquiry to the final invoice, on your own prices, and you approve what goes out.
BillyBot is our product. This page compares kinds of flooring software, not named products.

Most flooring software is built to store a job, or to speed up one piece of it. When you compare, ask each option what happens between an enquiry landing and the invoice being paid.
Built to measure rooms, plan cuts and cost a job. It usually ends at the estimate: reading the enquiry, chasing the quote, booking the fitting and raising the invoice are still yours to do. Ask whether it reads your inbox or puts invoices into your accounts.
Built around the showroom: stock, sales and the till. They usually expect someone to key each job in, so a busy contractor's enquiries, quotes and emails still happen outside them. Ask whether it can price a job from an email, a voice note or a drawing.
Scheduling, quotes and invoices for any kind of business. Because they aren't built for flooring, they usually don't work in roll widths, cuts and waste, so a flooring quote still means typing every line. Ask whether it can produce a cutting plan from a floor plan.
Built to get a quote out faster, sometimes with AI. The quote is usually where they stop: the inbox, follow-ups, diary, invoices and site paperwork stay with you. Ask what the software does after the quote is sent.
Built for flooring, and it does the work itself. Billy reads your enquiries, builds the quote from a voice note, email, floor plan or tender pack on your own supplier prices, works out cuts and waste, drafts the reply in your voice, books the fitting once you confirm the day, and prepares the invoice for Xero, Sage or QuickBooks. You approve what goes out.
Built for flooring contractors, fitting firms and flooring shops that lose evenings to office work.
Put these to every option on your list. Here's how BillyBot answers them.
| Ask this | BillyBot's answer |
|---|---|
| Does it read and sort my enquiry emails? | Yes. Connect Gmail or Outlook: Billy turns enquiries into jobs and drafts replies in your voice for you to approve. |
| Can it build the quote for me? | Yes, from a voice note, a few typed lines, a forwarded email, a floor plan or a tender pack, priced on your own supplier prices, markups and rates. |
| Does it understand flooring? | Yes. m² pricing, roll widths, cuts and waste, door bars, running cove and coved skirting, across carpet, LVT, laminate, vinyl, tiles, engineered wood and safety flooring. |
| Can it produce cutting plans? | Yes. Cutting plans are built from the saved floor plan, using the roll width of the product you've specified and the pile direction you set. Drag pieces to arrange the cuts yourself. |
| Can it price tenders and drawings? | Yes. Email in a tender pack or PDF drawings and Billy takes off the areas and prices them on your rates, flagging anything that needs checking. |
| Will it chase quotes that go quiet? | Yes. It tracks which quotes have been sent and viewed, and nudges you to follow up the quiet ones. |
| Can customers accept online? | Yes. Your customer views the quote through a link, accepts it with a drawn signature and, if you take deposits and have connected card payments, pays a deposit. |
| Does it work with my accounts? | Yes. Quotes and invoices go into Xero, Sage or QuickBooks when you confirm them, never automatically. No accounting software? Billy produces branded PDFs. |
| What about my fitters and site paperwork? | Fitters get the iPhone or Android app free, with their bookings, job sheets and RAMS to sign. Billy drafts job-specific RAMS, with COSHH entries for the products used, for you to review. |
| Who actually does the work? | Billy prepares it and you approve it. Nothing goes to a customer without your approval unless you switch on auto-send. |
A lot of flooring software is built to be a better place to store and enter information: a tidier job record, a nicer form. The quote is still only as fast as the person typing it, and the inbox only moves when someone sits down to read it.
BillyBot takes that work on. It reads the enquiry, builds the priced quote on your rates, drafts the reply in your voice and brings it to you to approve. You stop being the data-entry clerk for your own business, win more of the work you quote for and get your evenings back.
Especially the owner with a fitting team, buried in quoting and email.
Your bottleneck isn't where you record the job. It's that quoting and email eat your evenings. Billy does that work, and you approve it.
m² pricing, roll widths, cuts and waste, door bars and cove, with cutting plans built from the floor plan.
Connect your inbox, add your prices and your team. Upload supplier price lists as PDF, Excel or CSV and review them before they're applied.
Quotes on your real supplier costs, markups and rates, and covering emails written in your own style. Not averages or generic templates.
Keep Xero, Sage or QuickBooks. Quotes and invoices go in when you confirm them, never automatically.
Email in a tender pack and Billy takes off the areas and prices them on your rates. See estimating from drawings.
Flooring contractors, fitting firms and flooring shops, domestic and commercial, where enquiries, quotes, email and invoices pile up after the working day. BillyBot runs that side of the business, from first enquiry to final invoice, so you win more work and grow without an extra wage.
If all you need is a shop till and stock control, BillyBot isn't built as one. It's built to do the office work that wins and runs flooring jobs.
One price per office seat. Your fitters are always free.
Everything included, no feature tiers. Annual billing saves two months. Unlimited fitters free. 14-day free trial. Cancel anytime. Prices exclude VAT.
