Capacity Radar
See who has room before you start ringing
Capacity Radar will show flooring retailers which installers have room for more work, what flooring they lay and which areas they cover. It runs alongside matched job alerts: a posted job goes out to the installers who suit it, and the radar is for the retailer who wants to look ahead of that. There is nothing clever about it beyond the fact that nobody has bothered to build it for flooring.
Capacity Radar is not live and there is no search to run today. This page explains what it will do and what joining now gets you.
The idea
Retailers already know who is good. They don’t know who is free.
Most retailers have a list of installers they like. What they cannot see is who has a gap next month, who has started taking commercial work, who just bought a grinder, or who would happily drive an extra hour for the right job.
Capacity Radar turns that into something you can look up. It stays accurate because installers put up their own weeks and keep them current, and it stays private because a retailer sees the work and the dates without getting a phone number.
It is the second of the two ways work and installers will meet, and the optional one. When a retailer posts a job, we work out which installers suit it and let them know, whether or not they have put up any weeks. The radar is additional: for the retailer who wants to plan ahead, and the installer who wants a spare week seen. It is never a condition of hearing about work.
What a retailer would see
Commercial vinyl crew, room in the calendar
- Area
- Northern suburbs, will travel 80 km
- Free
- Two weeks from the middle of next month
- Work
- Commercial sheet vinyl, coving and welding
- Crew
- 3 people
- Prep
- Does their own grinding and levelling
- Sites
- Commercial
No name, no business name, no phone number and no address at this point. Enough to decide whether to send an invitation.
Where it comes from
Kept up to date by the installers themselves
A radar full of stale weeks would be worth nothing, so what shows here is what installers choose to put up and keep current. Nobody gets listed without choosing to be, nobody pays to appear, and an installer who puts up nothing still hears about matched jobs.
Area
Where the installer is based and how far they will travel
When they are free
The weeks they have told us they can take on
Type of flooring
Carpet, sheet vinyl, timber, resin and the rest
Products
The brands and systems they have worked with
Domestic or commercial
The sort of sites they work on
Crew size
Whether they can cover the size of the job
Equipment
What is actually on the van
Floor prep
Whether they do their own grinding and levelling
Licences and insurance
Shown only where we have checked it ourselves
Licences and insurance only show as checked where we have actually checked them. The label will say what we looked at. We will not imply that every installer on the site has been through a check, because that would not be true.
Start to finish
From an open week to a direct conversation
Six simple steps.
- 01
An installer puts up spare weeks, if they want to
The weeks they would like to fill, along with the flooring they lay, the areas they cover, their crew and their gear. Doing this is optional: a matched job can still reach an installer whose calendar is empty.
- 02
A retailer has a look
The retailer can see that someone suitable has room, along with the work they do, the area and the dates. No phone number, no business name.
- 03
The retailer sends an invitation
Rather than a cold call out of nowhere, the installer gets the details of the job, the dates and what is involved. Sending it costs the retailer nothing.
- 04
The installer says yes or no
Saying no costs you nothing and counts against you in no way at all. Putting up your availability is not a promise to take whatever turns up.
- 05
Both say yes, details are swapped
This only happens once both of you have said you want to talk. It costs the retailer nothing during the free beta, and once fees begin it is the retailer's fixed fee. The installer is never charged.
- 06
You sort the job out between you
The work, the rates and the payment are between the retailer and the installer. MyFloorPro is not part of that.
Who pays for it
The retailer pays, not the installer
Installers put their availability up for nothing. Retailers search and send invitations for nothing, and during the founding beta the introduction costs nothing too. Once fees begin, the one fixed fee only applies once both sides have said they want to talk.
Installers are not charged to put up their availability, to show up in a search, to get an invitation or to accept one. You cannot buy a better spot in the results and you cannot buy an early look. Access to work is not for sale.
The fee a retailer pays is the same every time. It is not a percentage of the job and we take no cut of the installer’s labour. The two of you handle the job and the payment directly, and we are not holding the money.
We have not settled on the amount yet, and we will publish it before anyone is asked to pay it. See what it costs.
Help us get Capacity Radar right
We are building this with the retailers and installers who join first. It is free to join. Tell us the areas and the flooring that matter to you, and we will be in touch before it opens.
