Bromont, Quebec, Canada— Tarkett Canada and Pacific Solutions, a B2B software company located in San Diego, have formed a partnership to pro vide Tarkett Elite Flooring Center members exclusive management software—Tarkett Floor Manager—designed to improve members’ business profitability. More than 70 Elite members attended the first-ever Tarkett Elite Forum held at the Château Bromont here.

One of the key opportunities presented at the “Dealer’s Choice, Powered by Tarkett” event was a solution which addressed the need to streamline management processes in a flooring operation, explained Stephan Brooks, vice president of residential sales for Tarkett Canada. The industry-specific software not only performs basic management duties but it integrates accounting as well.

“Other programs don’t include accounting and so you need a parallel program to do accounting,” he said. “The Tarkett Floor Manager has everything our dealers need, in one bundle, to run their businesses. From the overwhelming support we received from the members, we are very excited about this partnership.” “Tarkett is on the cutting edge of the flooring industry,” noted Bob Noe, president of Pacific Solutions.

“It has taken a refreshingly unique approach to finding ways of supporting its retailers by helping them improve their business profitability.” Tarkett Elite is a program of Tarkett Canada and is currently available only to retailers based in Canada.
