Aida Soft Alternatives & Competitors

Long identified four main competitors in the flooring ERP market: CompuFloor, RFMS, Rollmaster, and QFloors. He described all four as having been founded by flooring professionals in the 1980s and 1990s and built on legacy SQL databases with newer front ends layered on top.

RFMS and Rollmaster have both been acquired by larger companies, according to Long. He stated that Rollmaster was purchased by Broadloom and that RFMS was acquired by a group he referred to as the 2020 comp something group, though he did not confirm the exact acquirer name. Long described both acquirers as packaging the legacy software with other products without rebuilding the underlying systems. CompuFloor and QFloors remain independent, with CompuFloor described by Long as the largest remaining independent and as actively losing project managers, having seen three depart in the prior 18 months along with its lead programmer.

Long estimated CompuFloor has between 250 and 350 customers and annual revenue of approximately $4,000,000 to $5,000,000. These are Long's estimates based on conversations with a former CompuFloor project manager and his own market knowledge, not figures confirmed by CompuFloor. He also noted that America's Floor Source, which he described as generating well over $100,000,000 in annual revenue, currently uses CompuFloor and augments it with a custom Access database, a workaround he described as typical across the CompuFloor customer base. America's Floor Source revenue is Long's characterization of a third-party company, not a company-confirmed figure.
