Flooring financing automation sets up payment plans instantly by connecting quote systems with lending providers, automatically calculating monthly payments, generating pre-approval requests, and presenting multiple financing options to customers within minutes of quote submission.
How This Automation Works
Quote Request Submitted → Financing Options Presented
Quote Triggers Financing Check
When a flooring quote exceeds your financing threshold (typically $1,500+), the system automatically captures project details including total cost, customer information, and material specifications to initiate financing calculations.
Calculate Financing Scenarios
The system connects with lending partner APIs to retrieve current interest rates, promotional programs, and term options, then calculates 3-5 different payment plan scenarios showing monthly costs for various loan terms (12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 months).
Generate Pre-Qualification Request
For customers who opt-in, the system automatically submits soft credit inquiries to financing partners, receiving pre-qualification decisions within minutes. This provides approval likelihood scores without impacting customer credit scores.
Create Financing Presentation
All financing options are automatically formatted into a professional presentation showing side-by-side comparisons of monthly payments, total interest, approval probabilities, and promotional terms. The presentation is branded with your company information and includes clear call-to-action buttons.
Deliver Options to Customer
The financing presentation is automatically sent to the customer via their preferred channel (email or SMS), including direct application links for each financing option. Customers can click through to complete applications without sales team involvement.
Track Application Status
The system monitors application progress in real-time, receiving webhooks from financing partners when customers submit applications, get approved, or encounter issues. Status updates are automatically logged and sales teams receive instant notifications of approvals.
Finalize and Document
When financing is approved, the system automatically updates the project record, generates contracts reflecting the chosen payment plan, schedules the first payment, and creates a complete audit trail of all financing documents and communications for compliance purposes.
How It Works
Transform how your flooring business offers financing by automating the entire setup and presentation process. This system connects your quoting tools with financing providers, instantly calculating payment plans based on project costs, customer credit profiles, and available lending programs. When a customer requests a quote for hardwood, carpet, or tile installation, the system automatically generates multiple financing options with real-time approval rates, monthly payment breakdowns, and promotional terms. Sales teams receive instant notifications when customers are pre-approved, allowing them to close deals faster while customers enjoy transparent, immediate access to funding options that make premium flooring installations affordable.
The Trigger
Activates when a customer submits a flooring project quote request or when a sales representative creates a proposal exceeding a defined threshold amount, automatically initiating the financing options workflow.
The Action
The system generates personalized financing plans with payment schedules, interest rates, and approval probabilities, then automatically sends these options to the customer via email or customer portal with application links.

Results You Can Expect
Faster Sales Cycles
Eliminate the 2-3 day delay of manually researching financing options and waiting for lender responses. Customers receive instant financing proposals, make faster decisions, and move to installation scheduling immediately upon approval.
Higher Project Values
When customers see affordable monthly payments automatically calculated for premium materials and larger areas, they're more likely to upgrade from basic vinyl to hardwood or expand their project scope from one room to multiple areas.
Improved Close Rates
Presenting multiple financing options immediately removes the primary barrier to purchase. Customers who might have declined a $8,000 project readily approve when seeing it costs $199/month, and having 3-5 options increases approval likelihood.
Reduced Administrative Work
Sales teams no longer spend time calling lenders, manually calculating payment scenarios, creating comparison spreadsheets, or chasing down application statuses. Everything happens automatically from quote to approval notification.
Better Customer Experience
Customers appreciate immediate transparency about payment options rather than waiting days for financing information. The automated process feels modern and professional, building trust and differentiating your flooring business from competitors still using manual methods.
Increased Approval Rates
By connecting with multiple lending partners simultaneously and automatically routing applications to lenders most likely to approve based on project type and customer profile, more customers secure financing even with varied credit histories.
