ALDAS is a flooring takeoff and quoting app for flooring and tile installers. Open the plan, or punch in what you measured on site. ALDAS works out the boxes, the carpet seams, the trim and the labour, then hands you the quote for the customer, a work order for the crew and a material list for the supplier.
Works on iPhone, Android, Mac and Windows. Keeps working with no signal.
ALDAS is made in Kelowna for flooring installers who want their quotes done right, without paying for software built for a whole estimating department. If something's missing, tell us and we'll look at it.
Built in Kelowna, BCNo course to take first. If you've quoted a floor before, you already know how this goes.
Drop in a PDF, a photo of the drawing or a DXF from AutoCAD, and set the scale. No plan? Type in what your measuring tape says.
Drag out a rectangle or click the corners. Pick the flooring and ALDAS works out the boxes, seams and cut list.
Add trim, transitions, prep and removal. Send the customer a clean PDF, give the crew a work order and text the material list to your supplier.
A three-bedroom house in Kelowna, from the floor plan to the quote. Draw a room, lay out the carpet, pick the colours, check the numbers and send it.
Captions are part of the video, so it works with the sound off.
Drag a rectangle or click around any shape. Cut-outs take off islands and tubs. When you set the scale, a point finder snaps to the exact mark on the drawing, and a quick check tells you if the scale is off.
Every carpet room is laid out on the roll width you stock, with the seams shown on the plan. Turn the roll and the seams, cut list and order all update together.
The cut list prints on the crew's work order, without prices.
Pick the colour or size for each room. The estimate, the material order and the work order list each one separately, so the right boxes show up on site.
Add colours and sizes to any product in your price list, with the supplier's SKU if you like.
Start a job without a plan and type what you measure. Width, Enter. Length, Enter. Add another rectangle for an L-shaped room or a closet, and enter baseboard wall by wall. ALDAS does the adding.
Measured carpet rooms still get a real seam layout, not just a square-footage guess.
Download or copy a quote and its prices lock. Change your price list next week and the quote you sent stays exactly as your customer saw it.
If prices have moved, ALDAS shows what today's prices would come to. You decide whether to update.
The help is built in. Ask a question in plain words and get a plain answer, with a link straight to the right spot in the guide. No manual to dig through.
One takeoff, three documents. These are real pages from the demo job above.
Your business name and GST number, then every line in plain words. The total, deposit, your terms and a diagram of the rooms follow on the next pages. Your costs and margins never show.
The plan with each room's flooring, which way the carpet runs and where the seams go, plus the cut list. No prices on it.
Boxes, rolls, bags and lengths for every product and colour, on the last page of the work order. The same list is on the Estimate tab, ready to copy into a text to your supplier or save as a spreadsheet.
ALDAS is built for the installer with the tape measure. No Windows-only install, no demo call to book, and your quote doesn't have to wait until you're back at the office computer.

ALDAS is free during early access, while our first installers put it to work on real jobs.
Paid plans come later, once it's proven on the job, and we plan to offer founder pricing to early users. You'll see the price long before you're charged anything, and nothing is charged without you agreeing to it.
Thanks. You'll get an email about getting set up soon.
Yes. ALDAS runs in the browser on iPhone, Android, tablets, Mac and Windows. Add it to your home screen and it opens like an app.
Once ALDAS has opened on your device, it keeps working offline. Your jobs are saved on the device and upload when you're back online.
No. Start a job without a plan and type in your measurements: width by length for floors, wall by wall for baseboard, and a count for transitions and stairs.
LVP, laminate, hardwood, tile, carpet and sheet goods, plus trim, transitions, stair nosing, underlay and setting materials like thinset and grout. You can add your own types and sections.
PDFs (including multi-page sets), photos or scans of a drawing, and DXF files from AutoCAD.
Yes. Every room shows its area, perimeter, waste and cuts, and the estimate lists every line with its quantity and rate. The help explains each calculation.
No. Costs and margins stay on your estimate screen. The quote only shows what you charge.
Nothing, once it's sent. Downloading or copying a quote locks its prices, so the customer's total stays put. If your prices have moved since, ALDAS shows what today's prices would come to, and you choose whether to update the quote.
Yes. Set the next number in Settings, like 0432, and ALDAS carries on from there. A number is used when you send a quote, so drafts you never send don't leave gaps.
In your ALDAS account, stored in Canada, and on your own devices so it works offline. Other ALDAS users can't see your jobs, prices or customers, and we don't look unless you ask us to for support, we need to fix a problem, or the law requires it. There are no ads or trackers, and your data is never sold. You can delete your account and everything in it from the app anytime. The privacy policy has the details.
It's free during early access. Paid plans come later, in Canadian dollars, and we plan to offer founder pricing to early users. You'll see the price before you're ever charged, and nothing is charged without you agreeing to it.
For now. Painting and other trades are planned, built the same way.
