Measuresquare staff are great. No matter how stupid a question I ask they always reply promptly. They try to look at every question from a users viewpoint and not as a computer technician. They also continually ask what future enhancements we would like and must ask others as there is something new is being added at a pace we can cope with.
Pros
The very best feature about Measuresquare is we can load site measure projects on Measuresquare CRM in store and when on site pick the plan/details up on phone/iPad and create a floor plan with laser Measurer. Can complete quotation right there or it loads straight back to your work computer for yourself or someone else to complete. You cannot fault this feature.
For commercial measuring we are continually asked by clients to make changes to a quotation either before and after a quotation is tendered. This used to be frustrating until 2nd Instance was created. We can now run 2 Measuresquare Programs at the same time and cut/paste parts of plans from one to the other. Be sure to try this feature.
ServiceX is the latest addition to Measuresquare which is a message app we use between staff, installers and clients. We can transfer instructions, plans and keep everyone in touch at all times. Measuresquare are continuing to add so many features, yet are keeping it simple
Cons
Permissions to share plans from one user to another. You can access only your own plans so you are not continually syncing other users plans to your device or add other users and sync all theirs as well. Would be great if you could just have another user set so you could scroll their plan library and select/download just the plan you wanted.
A common product database is shared between measuring devices but need it linked to CRM as well, and the devices share from there.

If you look on the world map you will see that we are from New Zealand in the pacific in a small city (pop 40,000) called Whangarei and the staff at Measuresquare treat us like we are just around the corner. Over the past 10 years we have seen this program develop from very basic floor drawing to the sophisticated program it is now. As we use both Measuresquare floor drawing and Measuresquare CRM system and they both sync between each other we are now enjoying the benefits of a seamless floorcovering business that starts with a plan and finishes with a happy customer. Like Measuresquare we believe that the measure is so important we changed our name to MeasureUp. :) Sure you have to learn how to use the program, but every minute you put into it will become the cheapest investment you will ever make into a floorcovering business.
Pros
Being able to site measure with iphone/disto laser anytime/anywhere and either complete the quotation on site or back at office on PC with it automatically saving everything. All plans, measurements and cut sheets are in the same format making it easy for others to pick up and work on the plan finalizing cut sheets/ordering product/scheduling installations and providing contractors with detailed plans that always look the same providing consistency with instructions and plan layout. You cannot beat a 3D view as a picture paints a thousand words!

I have been working with the software created for this company for the last 10 years, and always our company has been successful with our Estimated-Working Projects. There has been difficulties i cant not ignore that , but always this company has been there to help us. The M217 is a complete program because the constant customization of the software and the diversity of the estimates able to execute with details in price, products quantities, labor, Diagrams in 2D & 3D ,etc. is all you can need to produce a professional presentation and the most important RESULTS. For Commercial use i recommend this software 100 %

I love measure square. It is the only flooring estimation software that does everything you would expect a takeoff software to do, and much more. Take a look at the screenshots, and you will quickly find there is none like it, except for Callidus, which is so outdated it makes me snore to look at screenshots.
Pros
- This product is the only complete flooring estimation software I have found, and I've tried them ALL.
- AutoCAD-like style of drawing and taking off.
- Instant estimation when you drop a product into a room.
- Fine tuning to get the exact layout you desire.
- Never had any problems with the scaling of PDF or CAD plans.
- The developers are constantly releasing updates.
Cons
- Estimation for rolled goods still needs a little bit of work. Support has told me they are working to fix the issue I had with it, so I am confident this con will change.
- Some updates remove/change functionality that you may have grown used to. But all you have to do is talk to support and they will get you taken care of.

Overall a great product with great people developing the product.
Pros
Able to complete takeoffs in a precise, efficient manner.
The door tool alone makes this product a more efficient use of time.
The customer service/technical support is really second to none as well. When we have any questions about how to do something within the software, the response time has been great. Plus, we feel that our concerns are heard in that when we make a suggestion, an update comes out that includes the suggestion we made. We appreciate how the product is constantly evolving in an attempt to make our jobs as estimators easier.
Cons
Technically, for me, the product does not allow for me to pan left/right and up/down the way that I would like to.
