Carman review
A mobile-focused system for flooring teams coordinating stock, deliveries, sales and payments.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Carman is business management software for flooring retailers, wholesalers and related trade businesses. It brings together estimates, customer and product records, stock control, delivery management, sales, invoicing and payments, with web, iOS, Android and API access. Its mobile companion app supports delivery checklists, job navigation, proof of delivery, photos, customer signatures and mobile job sign-off. That makes it a strong fit for flooring teams whose work moves between warehouses, vehicles, customer sites and the office.
The standout area is its connection between diary-based planning and field operations. An integrated diary covers workloads, deliveries, fits and estimates, while mobile tools handle stock additions and adjustments, delivery and sales management, and customer-facing sign-off. Role-based access controls support different user permissions. Embedded invoicing, payment links and automatic reconciliation extend the workflow beyond scheduling and stock, while the B2B portal gives trade customers live stock and inventory visibility.
Carman also fits businesses that need an accounting and payments ecosystem: listed connections include Yoti Sign, Xero, Zero Accounting, Blink payments and Fidelity payments, alongside API coverage. The vendor directs prospects to request a quotation or demonstration rather than presenting a self-serve plan structure. Choose Carman if mobile delivery control, flooring estimates, installation scheduling, inventory and payment administration are central to the operation. Businesses seeking a broader general-contractor platform, or an open-source product, should look elsewhere.
