How I Built It

I automated multi-step calculations derived from real customer interactions. “How much will 10ft of ‘x’ cost me? What about if I get 12ft of ‘y’?"

Why I Built It

The motivation behind creating this app was to anticipate the customer asking these questions, and to create a tool where I could answer that question without fumbling around on a manual calculator while they stare at me waiting. It’s helped make my customer interactions more positive and engaging.

Technicals

Full carpet mode operates by taking the customer’s requested length in feet and inches, and multiplying by the standard 12ft width. Then it converts the total square feet to total square yards and multiples by the products cost per square yard.

Conclusion

The Carpet Cutting Calculator streamlines the sales process by eliminating manual errors and providing quick, accurate quotes. This tool makes my customer interactions more valuable by providing them with reliable pricing information for their specific project.
