SmartScan: The Flooring Industry’s Biggest Step Forward in Customer Experience

If there's one thing we know about flooring showrooms, it’s this: customers don’t want more choices — they want clarity. They don’t want to wander aisles guessing which samples are similar. They don’t want to wait while a salesperson flips through catalogs. And they definitely don’t want a fragmented path from inspiration to decision.

That’s exactly why we built SmartScan, the newest evolution inside Showroom Pricing — and one of the most exciting technology advancements we’ve ever released.

SmartScan is the first tool in the flooring industry built to solve one of the biggest pain points in the showroom: helping customers understand what else they should be looking at.

Not someday. Not after a salesperson hunts for options.
Instantly. With one scan.

This isn’t a gimmick. It’s not another “tech add-on.” SmartScan is designed to fundamentally reshape how customers discover flooring — and how sales teams guide them.

Why the Flooring Industry Needed This (Badly)

Let’s be honest: flooring showrooms have lagged behind other retail environments when it comes to digital experience.
Meanwhile, customer expectations have skyrocketed.

People want:

• Immediate information

• Clear comparisons

• Smooth, intuitive exploration

• Zero pressure until they’re ready

• Technology that actually helps, not complicates

And flooring showrooms, with thousands of SKUs and endless variables, face even more complexity than other retail categories.

SmartScan bridges that gap.

By scanning a QR code on any sample, customers unlock a curated set of related products — similar visuals, alternative colors, complementary styles, upgraded collections, and other options they should consider before deciding.

In other words: SmartScan turns every sample into a personalized digital discovery hub.

The Technology Behind SmartScan

SmartScan was built with a simple philosophy:
Make the customer journey more intelligent, not more complicated.

Here’s how it works:

🔍 1. Pattern Recognition for the Real World

Flooring buyers shop visually. So SmartScan’s related-product mapping focuses on the attributes people actually respond to: tones, grain movement, plank variation, texture, design aesthetics — not just SKU numbers.

⚡ 2. Instant Exploration

No logins. No downloads. No forms.
Just one scan → multiple curated options.

🤝 3. Better Sales Conversations, Backed by Data

When customers come to a salesperson already knowing what they’re drawn to, the conversation shifts from:
“Do you have something similar?”
to
“Here are the options I already like — help me choose.”

This is where flooring salespeople shine.

📈 4. Increased Catalog Exposure

Every showroom has hidden gems — SKUs that don’t get enough love because they’re not placed at eye level. SmartScan brings them into the spotlight.

This isn’t fluff. This is real technology solving real showroom inefficiencies.

The Business Impact:

Flooring technology should do more than digitize a label — it should elevate the entire sales process.

Here’s what early users are experiencing:

⭐ Customers browse more.

The average customer interacts with more products when SmartScan is available — because discovery feels easy, intuitive, and self-guided.

⭐ Sales conversations get faster.

Customers arrive at decisions sooner because they’re not overwhelmed or under-informed.

⭐ Sales teams feel supported, not replaced.

SmartScan does the browsing; your team does the relationship building.
It’s technology that amplifies, not replaces.

⭐ Showrooms stand out.

Most flooring showrooms look and operate the same.
SmartScan gives you a competitive identity — one grounded in innovation and customer-centered design.
