QFloors is a key member of the fcB2B organization, an industry association uniting manufacturers, contractors, suppliers, distributors, and software providers.
Each year, we attend an annual fcB2B conference where we discuss industry standards, future projects, and ways to improve the industry. We attended this meeting last September in Atlanta, GA, and were reminded of the incredible benefits and value that come from fcB2B features.
We are committed to advancing the industry through innovative B2B technology. We’re happy to announce that QPro is one of the first companies in the industry to be certified with the fcB2B organization’s new v3.2 software update. This will pave the way for future technological progress, without taking away from our current B2B features and functionality.
The following are two quotes featured on fcB2B's website that explain the benefits of utilizing B2B technology in your business:
...fcB2B technology is designed to add value and provide efficiencies to every segment of the marketplace.
Flooring Industry companies, from contractors to manufacturers, all benefit when they are using software that utilizes fcB2B standards. Large, medium, and small businesses will all realize increased efficiency, higher productivity, and real-time cost benefits utilizing fcB2B technologies.

Important Note: B2B Product Type Codes
The fcB2B committee continues to make changes to better improve the B2B/Web Services process. Recently, fcB2B added new product types for hard surface vinyl materials.
Please understand the fcB2B committee frequently makes changes to the approved B2B Product Type Code list. As a result, you may need to update QPro to reflect the proper codes for hard surface vinyl materials being sold. When downloading a hard surface vinyl price list, be sure to create a new B2B product type and update the Product Type list in your QPro Product Catalog accordingly.
The following link provides additional information on how to set up or update product types in QPro: “ Recognized Product Types (B2B Standard). ”
