This year brought many changes that have made RollMaster Flooring Business Software even better heading into 2020. We pride ourselves on being able to meet the needs of our customers and making it easier to run and grow their flooring businesses. We’re dedicated to taking your recommendations for the functionality of RollMaster Software, you can let us know what you’d like to see in 2020 with our customer survey!
Every year we have experienced growth, but 2019, in particular, has been a year of rapid growth that has allowed us to expand the RollMaster infrastructure with new staff and internal systems, including a new website that is ready for even more growth to come. As eager as we can be about new addons or new features for our core software, it’s even better to experience our customer’s excitement!
New Features & Integrations:
Android Barcode Device
Our latest update is the addition of the new Android Barcode Device to our warehouse product line. This Industry-first integration allows for full barcode device capability on an Android device that can double as a smartphone. This device allows for faster training of warehouse staff with its intuitive touchscreen, and familiar interface.
MeasureSquare Integration
One of our most powerful integrations in 2019 is MeasureSquare! MeasureSquare estimating software allows for quick and easy measurements to produce detailed estimates fast so you can impress potential clients and win more jobs. Our cloud-based program allows you to use MeasureSquare anywhere, with or without internet access. Turn drawings into estimates and estimates into jobs all within RollMaster Flooring Software.
Language Translation Feature
Translating documents within RollMaster Flooring Software is now possible with our Multilingual Documents feature. This update was a part of our third quarter release and makes it possible for RollMaster users to translate notes on all quotes, agreements, work orders, and purchase orders. We’re currently at 12 languages and counting!
Tableau Integration
Our integration with Tableau is one of the most beneficial add-ons to RollMaster software, giving you powerful analytics in just a few clicks. With the ability to create graphical data in seconds, Tableau saves our partners hundreds of hours a year by eliminating the need to generate dozens of pivot tables and other reports to arrive at the same data that displays in seconds. In 2019 we added key inventory dashboards, and refined several of the sales dashboards to make them even easier to use! The new Sales 3.0 dashboard is our most intuitive version yet.
CARE Tracking Program
We’ve always been there for our partners who do business in California, and need to adhere to the CARE legislation. 2019 has brought some updates to the law including fee changes, in response we’ve updated our free care tracking for our partners who need it, and we continue to monitor the legislation for further changes that may be needed.
RM Mobile Updates
Taking RollMaster Flooring Software with you on the job is easy with RM Mobile! Its intuitive installation calendar feature makes scheduling jobs and installations easy with access from any device, anywhere.
Projects Module
We updated our core software so all RollMaster Flooring Software users can access the Project Module as a new feature within the system. This feature allows users to group small jobs together, as part of larger projects. This organizational upgrade makes it easier for your whole team to stay on the same page by consolidating information including cost, profit, and margin for the entire project in one location.
RollMaster Emailing and Upgraded Invoicing
With the launch of the internal RollMaster Email feature, the addition of the Quick Invoice option, and graphical updates to Batch Invoicing, the process of billing your clients has never been quicker! Whichever program you use to generate invoices, you can also now email Invoices directly to your customers, reducing the time spent on billing by up to 50%! And there’s no need for any outside apps!
Digital Marketing Hub by Creating Your Space and RollMaster Flooring Software
The Digital Marketing Hub is an exciting new add-on for RollMaster users! This integration with Creating Your Space makes your marketing efforts simple by integrating with your existing RollMaster Flooring Software. Data from your business directly feeds the content sent to your clients through email or text message. This semi-automated process allows for sending a drip-email campaign to prospects following the quotation process, and even sends installation appointment reminders, modernizing your marketing efforts.
Events & Workshops:
2019 Workshops – Seattle, St. Petersburg, New Orleans
We had three excellent workshops this year, in three fun locations, Seattle, St. Petersburg, and New Orleans! These events aren’t just for learning how to fully utilize RollMaster software, they’re also excellent networking events for the flooring industry.
In 2019, one of our goals was to make our workshops even better for our participants. We completely reformatted our workshop outline, and added hugely successful breakout sessions on days two and three to allow attendees to focus on growing their knowledge in specific areas. These changes have been met with overwhelmingly positive responses from our attendees, and we will be expanding these efforts in our 2020 workshops. Stay tuned for more details for our Fort Worth workshop in April, and San Diego in October.
15 Webinars
To keep our partners up to date in between Workshops, we also offer Webinars throughout the year. With a back catalog of 15 webinars from 2019, there is still so much to learn. All of our 2019 workshops are integrated into the Help Desk Client Login site where you can find all of our resources for using RollMaster Software and growing your business! All of our 2019 webinars are available on the Help Desk site, where you can search by date or topic!
12 Trade shows
RollMaster staff was present at twelve different industry trade shows in 2019! We are committed to fostering community in the flooring industry, and we believe the best way to do it is face-to-face!
