If your team uses MeasureMobile for measuring, you don't need to switch to Measure Square to work effectively with Floorzap. The quoting workflow is identical — and for shops doing primarily residential work on a mobile device, MeasureMobile may be the better fit.
How It Works
MeasureMobile does not have a direct API integration with Floorzap. Instead, the workflow uses a PDF export from MeasureMobile as the bridge between measuring and quoting.
MeasureMobile handles:
Room measurements and square footage
Seam placement and layout diagrams
Cut sheet export (PDF)
Floorzap handles:
Quote templates and all line items
Product descriptions, pricing, and bundling
Labor lines and transition checklists
Installer work orders and contractor notes
Step 1 — Complete the Measure in MeasureMobile
Measure the job in MeasureMobile as you normally would. Once complete:
Figure seam placement and plan the direction of planks, tile, or carpet runs.
Add any room-level notes for the installer (floor prep, moisture concerns, seam sign-off points).
Export the completed layout as a PDF.
Tip: Note the square footage per room and any transition lineal footage — you'll reference these manually when building the quote in Floorzap.
Step 2 — Build the Quote in Floorzap
Using your MeasureMobile PDF as a reference, build the quote in Floorzap:
Open Floorzap and navigate to the customer record.
Create a new quote using the appropriate Floorzap template for the product type (Vinyl Plank, Carpet, Tile, etc.).
Reference your MeasureMobile layout for room square footage and enter quantities manually into the quote.
Swap the generic product placeholder in the template for the customer's actual product selection.
Delete any line items that don't apply to this job.
Add quantities for all applicable transition pieces and labor lines.
Fill in any description or notes lines (rooms included, special conditions, etc.).
Why templates matter: Floorzap templates act as a checklist — every standard transition piece and labor line is pre-populated so nothing gets forgotten. Relying on a measuring tool to import line items means T-molds, reducers, and labor lines frequently get missed.
Step 3 — Attach the Layout to the Work Order
Once the quote is approved, attach your MeasureMobile PDF to the work order so the installer can see it:
Go to the Work Order screen in Floorzap.
Navigate to the Job Details → Contractor tab.
Upload the MeasureMobile PDF layout, check the checkbox, and give it a clear name (e.g., "Smith Kitchen Layout").
The installer will see the attachment in their Floorzap installer app and can open the PDF at full screen to view seam placement, room dimensions, and any layout notes.
Important: Also copy any special instructions from your MeasureMobile notes into the Contractor Notes field in Floorzap. Installers don't always open the PDF attachment — notes on the work order itself are always visible.
Handling Pattern Match Carpet
Standard square footage estimates don't account for pattern repeat waste. When a job involves pattern match carpet:
Note the pattern repeat from the product spec.
Calculate the adjusted square footage manually accounting for the repeat, or use MeasureMobile's pattern match setting if available.
Enter the adjusted quantity into the Floorzap quote line item.
Include the pattern repeat details in the line item description or contractor notes so the installer has it on the work order.
Multi-Product Jobs (Multiple Selections Across Rooms)
When a customer is installing different products in different rooms:
Use one template per product type, or build a combined quote with clearly labeled sections.
Keep your MeasureMobile layout notes organized by room so quantities don't get mixed up when building the quote.
In the line item description, note which rooms each product covers (e.g., "LVP — Kitchen, Dining, Hallway").
MeasureMobile vs. Measure Square — Which Should You Use?
Both tools work with Floorzap and the day-to-day quoting workflow is identical. Here's how they compare:
MeasureMobile | Measure Square | |
Floorzap integration | PDF export workflow | Basic API import (quantities only) |
Template linking | Not applicable | Not supported (API limitation) |
Day-to-day quoting workflow | Identical | Identical |
Large commercial / desktop takeoffs | Limited | Strong (desktop version) |
Future Floorzap integration | No plans | Deeper integration on roadmap |
Learning curve | Low (if already using it) | Higher if switching from MeasureMobile |
Bottom line: If your team is already comfortable with MeasureMobile, there's no need to switch. The Floorzap quoting workflow is the same either way — the difference is whether quantities come from a PDF you reference manually or from a Measure Square import.
