Scheduling an Installation
GEORGIA FLOORS new computerized scheduling system is simply called “The Scheduler”. The scheduler offers screens that allow installation and sales personnel to add jobs based on labor availability, sort through jobs by builder or salesperson in order to schedule labor more efficiently, and provide daily or weekly job reports that can be e-mailed within the company or to our clients.

Of course, if you have any last minute emergencies, please contact your Account Manager and we will make every effort to rise to the task.
