Midvale, UT – October 25, 2006 – Flooring Technologies Inc., developers of QFloors software, and World of Floors today announced a licensing agreement making QFloors the officially recommended data management application for all World of Floors franchises. Under the terms, World of Floors will offer customized QFloors software to new franchise members as part of their national expansion strategy.

“Every flooring business, regardless of size, needs a software system to efficiently run their business,” says Barth Getto, Chief Operating Officer and National Director of Franchising at World of Floors. “A good software system, like QFloors, can save around 2 hours per day per employee as compared to a manual system. Employee productivity improves, thereby giving the salespeople more time to be properly trained and to work directly with customers. This leads to higher ticket prices, higher closing rates and, ultimately, a more robust bottom line. With B2B functionality picking up steam in the flooring industry, we want our franchises to be on the cutting edge of this cost saving initiative.”

The comprehensive implementation of QFloors will provide World of Floors franchises accurate, up-to-the-minute financial information, which will help business owners make informed decisions. In addition, utilizing a common software application will allow World of Floors to benchmark industry financial statistics. Franchisees can then use these numbers to analyze how their businesses relate to other successful dealers.

World of Floors selected QFloors based on market research and on prior experiences with other products. Their largest franchisee, World of Floors in Grand Rapids, MI, worked with QFloors to test the software to ensure that it would fulfill the needs of a multi-store retail operation that also does high-volume commercial business. Ultimately, the universal ease of use and the advanced accounting capabilities won QFloors the account. “World of Floors is the second group of large retailers to recommend only QFloors as their business management software of choice,” says John Lunsford, National Sales Director at QFloors. “This tells me that QFloors remains on the right track—sophisticated software that is easy to implement and use.”
