How Floor Authority Powers $24M in Revenue with Bubble

RT Bayles, CEO of Floor Authority, transformed his South Carolina-based flooring company by developing a custom enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution using Bubble, a no-code platform, after finding existing systems inadequate for industry-specific needs. Initially frustrated by outdated and inflexible software, RT, with no prior software development experience, participated in a Bubble bootcamp and constructed an app that now powers the company's operations, including CRM, sales pipeline management, quoting, inventory management, accounting, and customer databases. By partnering with the Bubble agency Not Quite Unicorns, he has been able to focus on business growth, achieving $24 million in annual revenue and aiming for $100 million, while improving staff productivity by at least 25%. The custom solution is tailored to the flooring industry’s unique requirements, such as handling various measurement units, and RT is considering offering it as a SaaS product to other businesses in the sector. He believes Bubble and no-code development are the future of business software, providing affordable, customizable solutions that traditional mass-market software cannot match.
