Ask any Bathroom retailer why they have invested in EQ Software?

The answers may sound different from each one but the recurring theme is that using the UK’s leading business management software solution enables them to provide accurate quotations and save an enormous amount of time and money.

The Roman Bathroom & Tile Centre in Rowley Regis, West Midlands is a perfect example. 

A beautiful showroom covering two floors located in a popular shopping area. Visitors to the showroom can view the very best ranges on offer from leading bathroom, kitchen and tile manufacturers.

Caroline Cooper has built and expanded her bathroom business over the last 26 years and has seen a great many changes. Over these years she has seen the number of brands available to the market increase exponentially, which can potentially cause problems for retailers trying to keep information up to date. Caroline has been a customer of EQ Software since 2005 (then EasyQuote) and since purchasing the system has not looked back. She says "The depth of supplier catalogues we can access through EQ is massive. More of our retail customers are researching bathroom brands on the internet, so we need to make sure that a huge number of diverse products are available and can be included in our designs."

EQ Software's Professional edition is not only used by Roman Bathrooms as a quoting tool, but is an integral part of the business operation. Caroline continues "We probably still only scratch the surface of EQ, but couldn't run the business without it. The quoting elements cut out user error and from a project management view we have complete visibility on our business operation from a single screen. We also offer a no quibble guarantee on the products supplied for every project installed and as EQ gives us traceability, we can find supplier consignment numbers within a few clicks. Without the system, one of our staff could spend a day in the attic searching for delivery note. I couldn't put a value to the number of man hours we have saved over the years."

With streamlined processes and access to the largest database of bathroom suppliers in the UK, thanks to EQ Software, Caroline and the staff at Roman Bathrooms can spend more time on the most important element to a growing business- their customers.
