EpoxyFlowEpoxyFlow vs QuickBooks.
QuickBooks is accounting software. It's great for your books, but it wasn't built to send epoxy quotes, collect deposits in the driveway, or schedule your crew. EpoxyFlow was, and it's free until you get paid.
| EpoxyFlow | QuickBooks | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Sales and job app for epoxy contractors | Accounting software |
| Cost to start | $0 a month | Monthly subscription |
| Built for | Epoxy flooring contractors | Businesses of every kind |
| Getting more features | Every feature on every plan | Higher plan tiers |
Keep QuickBooks for your taxes if you like. Run the jobs in EpoxyFlow.
Why epoxy contractors switch
Pay nothing until you get paid
No subscription eating into slow months. You only pay a small fee when a customer pays you by card, and cash or check is free.
Quotes built for epoxy
Pick the system, enter the square feet, and materials, labor, and margin fill in on their own.
Up and running fast
Add your systems and prices once. Send your first quote in about 5 minutes.
Using QuickBooks at the moment and it's horrible. I just hated the price tiers just to get a couple extra features that you realistically need.
How EpoxyFlow works
1Lead
Leads come in from your own lead forms or get added by hand. EpoxyFlow texts them back right away.
2Quote
Pick the system and enter the square feet. Materials, labor, and margin are figured for you. Quiet quotes get followed up on their own.
3Deposit
Your customer signs and pays the deposit by card from a link, before you leave the driveway.
4Schedule
Put the job on the calendar. EpoxyFlow suggests crew size and job length, and reminds the customer before install day.
5Balance
Collect the rest in milestones. Every unpaid dollar shows up in one place.
6Review
When the job is paid, EpoxyFlow asks your customer for a Google review.
Then it starts over with the next lead.
You only pay when you get paid.
Other software charges you every month whether you work or not. EpoxyFlow is free until you get paid. Then it's 2.5% on card payments, capped at $250 a month. Cash and check are always free.
