Following another year of sustained growth, Computers for Flooring continues to strengthen its position as a trusted technology partner to flooring retailers, contractors and distributors.
At the heart of this success is Carman, the company’s multi award-winning business management system, designed exclusively for the flooring industry. Carman provides a fully integrated platform covering sales, estimating, order processing, stock control, logistics, and payment management, allowing businesses to manage their operations more efficiently from a single system.
One of the most notable developments of the past year has been the continued rollout of CarmanPay, Computers for Flooring’s fully integrated payment solution. Powered by ClearAccept, CarmanPay enables flooring businesses to take payments directly within the Carman software, whether in-store, remotely or online. By embedding payment processing into the platform itself, CarmanPay removes the friction and duplication often caused by separate terminals or third-party payment systems.
Payments are automatically linked to orders, reducing administrative effort, improving accuracy and giving businesses clearer visibility of their cash flow.
‘CarmanPay has seen strong adoption from both new and existing customers, reflecting growing demand for faster, simpler and more transparent payment experiences. For customers, it offers convenience and flexibility; for businesses, it delivers tighter financial control, improved reconciliation and a smoother end-to-end journey from quotation through to payment,’ says James Beckett, Computers for Flooring technical operations manager.
Alongside its payment capabilities, Carman has continued to demonstrate its flexibility across different sectors of the flooring industry. Its advanced stock control and order management features are now widely used within distribution and wholesale environments, proving that the system can handle the scale, speed and complexity of high-volume operations just as effectively as it supports retail and contract businesses.
This adaptability has reinforced Computers for Flooring’s reputation as a partner capable of supporting flooring companies at every stage of growth. ‘Customer feedback remains central to the company’s development roadmap, with enhancements driven by real-world use and industry requirements. As The Flooring Show South launches, Computers for Flooring is looking forward to meeting new visitors and long-standing customers alike, showcasing CarmanPay and the wider Carman platform, and continuing to help flooring businesses operate more efficiently, securely, and profitably,’ says Beckett.
