PASADENA, CALIF.— Floor Covering Soft has launched Floor-Estimate Pro 2009 Edition (FEP2009), the company’s next-generation flooring layout and estimating program, for commercial and retail flooring contractors and dealers.

FEP2009 stands out from other competing products for its strength as an enterprise estimating application, noted Brian Caress, vice president of Redi Carpet in Stafford, Tex. “We have been watching it for years. Finally we found this enterprise-level estimating solution to run our cross-state multifamily flooring operations.”

Steven Wang">Dr. Steven Wang, chief developer and founder of Floor Covering Soft, said, “Technology is even more important, especially during these tough times. Well-established companies are taking this time to deploy software solutions to streamline takeoff estimating, which they otherwise would have no time to do.”

For mobile applications, the program runs on Tablet PCs and works with Disto laser meters for on-site measurement and interfaces with QuickBooks with a single click.

According to Wang, the company has been focusing on making estimating software easier to use and more affordable for smaller businesses. The new program can be purchased on demand with a monthly subscription starting at $49, “so there’s no big up-front investment,” he concluded.
