Floor NexusvsFloor Nexus vs CoatingOS: Two Coater-Built Platforms. Two Different Systems.
CoatingOS organizes a coating company. Floor Nexus connects the sale, the floor, the materials, and the follow-up.
The real difference is scope. Floor Nexus connects the whole job — Quick Quote, Nexus Measure, the customer-facing Visualizer, live material ordering, and Flows automation — in one flooring system that also handles polishing, overlays, and deep pours.
Which platform fits how you run your business?
Both are built by active coaters
CoatingOS comes from Loud Bros. Floor Nexus comes from Jacksonville Epoxy. Neither platform was built by outsiders guessing how coating contractors work.
The same tools — for a fraction of the price
Floor Nexus already includes the CRM, scheduling, work orders, crews, reputation tools and automations you'd expect — starting at $49 against CoatingOS's flat $278.
Floor Nexus goes deeper into the floor itself
Quote in seconds, measure it, visualize it, calculate materials, order products, and automate follow-up through Flows — all inside one connected flooring platform.

Built from a coating business — then expanded for the entire flooring job
Still active in the trade
Floor Nexus grew out of Jacksonville Epoxy. The company still takes referral work, while its owner now dedicates most of his time to building systems that help other flooring contractors grow.
Quote → measure → visualize → order
Quick Quote, Nexus Measure, the Visualizer, spread-rate calculations, and product ordering share the same job data. You are not rebuilding the scope in separate tools.
The product and manufacturer layer
Floor Nexus connects 45 manufacturers and distributors with 7,833 products, system data, pricing, and ordering. That supply-side connection is a major difference from a traditional CRM.
We install the growth system with you
Every customer receives two live onboarding calls. Pro customers also get Flows installed — 23 pre-built follow-up and sales automations across 4 categories, built from the processes behind a seven-figure operation.
Where CoatingOS has the edge
We'd rather you pick the right tool than the wrong one. Here's where CoatingOS is genuinely strong.
One simple all-in plan
CoatingOS bundles everything into a single $278 plan. On Floor Nexus a couple of things — texting on Starter, the Nexus Pro AI — are tied to specific tiers or add-ons. If you'd rather not think about tiers at all, that one-plan simplicity has real appeal.
A self-serve website builder
CoatingOS includes a drag-and-drop website builder in-plan. Floor Nexus has the reputation and marketing tools, but builds your site for you as a paid service instead of handing you a DIY builder.
An established garage-coating brand & community
CoatingOS has deep roots and a strong owner community specifically in garage floor coatings. If that niche network and brand matter to you, it's a genuine draw.
Pricing, side by side
CoatingOS publishes one $278 monthly plan; Floor Nexus uses tiered pricing as your crew grows. Here's how the numbers line up.
"I get paid faster than I ever have. The Visualizer closes jobs before I'm even done pricing them."
Choose the platform that fits the business you are building
CoatingOS is a solid fit if you want one simple all-in plan for a garage-coating shop. Floor Nexus gives you the same CRM, operations, and marketing tools — plus measuring, the Visualizer, Quick Quote, a live manufacturer catalog, and Flows — for every flooring job, starting at a fraction of the price.
