RFMS Celebrates 25th Anniversary
TUSCALOOSA, AL—Resource & Financial Management Systems, Inc. (RFMS, Inc.) an industry leader in business management software and services for floorcovering operations is celebrating its silver anniversary. For 25 years, RFMS has been at the forefront of software development designed specifically for the floorcovering industry, providing its clients with state-of-the-art software and training solutions.
RFMS was started by Terry Wheat, who owned a full service flooring store in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. It was started out of a need for software that was specific to flooring that Terry could use to run his own store. This began in 1983. The first user of the system began using the software in 1984 and is still an active user of the software. The company and software was designed and built from scratch specifically for the floor covering industry. What started as a small software program for individual need has evolved into a global software system, with installations across the US, Europe, the Middle East, Australia, New Zealand and Canada in over 7,000+ locations. The RFMS suite of products include the core business management program, the #1 takeoff estimating and bidding software (Measure by RFMS), labor scheduling, commercial bidding and project management, ECommerce and Sales Contact Management programs.
While RFMS is best known as the leading software provider for the flooring industry, its purpose is not simply to “sell” software. The RFMS approach includes software and training to make sure flooring dealers effectively implement the system. Once a dealer is up and running on RFMS, the highly trained RFMS support specialists and trainers assist them in progressively refining their business plan.
“For 25 years, RFMS has remained a constant in the floorcovering software industry. Through three recessions, including this most recent downturn, RFMS has been a stable and reliable partner for our clients,” said RFMS President Terry Wheat. “My staff and I are constantly working to provide the best flooring software in the industry. We are committed to providing systems for success including the training, consulting, and management services needed for business owners to enjoy total control, security, and simplicity in the automation of their business.”
