Comp-U-Floor Users Group Established to Promote Peer Networking Among Clients and Enhanced Product Development

 

KNOXVILLE, TN – In coordination with AYA Associates, Inc., users of Comp-U-Floor software are launching a new initiative in the form of Comp-U-Floor Users Group to establish an information and idea sharing network for the company’s technology and services with the goal of assisting users in creating an official forum for interactive discussion, peer networking and advising future product development.

 

In collaboration with AYA Associations, Inc., the Comp-U-Floor Users Group provides knowledge sharing, education and guidance for product direction in order to achieve maximum business value for its users. The new forum will bring together Comp-U-Floor users throughout North America in one online community at www.CompUFloorUser.com, accentuating the few person-to-person convention opportunities held annually. It will enable the various clients to share how they have used Comp-U-Floor products and services to make their businesses successful in their communities.

 

The Comp-U-Floor Users Group is headed by Scott Bacon of Broadway Carpets Inc. based in Knoxville, Tenn. A client of Comp-U-Floor since 1999, Broadway Carpets flooring has been servicing the entire East Tennessee Valley Area for over 35 years.

 

“With multiple locations, Broadway Carpets has one of the largest stocks of flooring products in the entire Southeast region, making Comp-U-Floor’s software, technology and services an invaluable part of our business,” said Bacon. “Our longtime association with Aya Associates and interaction with fellow users led to the concept of bringing everyone’s thoughts together on a regular basis, allowing the sharing of ideas, thoughts and issues on a weekly, if not daily, basis to serve as an aid to one another’s businesses as we work toward improving the health of the industry in this difficult economy as well as advising Comp-U-Floor as it continues work on next-generation lines of its current and new technologies.”

 

The Comp-U-Floor Users Group is being exclusively introduced at the Surfaces 2012 convention January 23-26 in Las Vegas, NV, an annual event that brings together buyers and sellers of the floor covering industry from all over the world to see the latest floor covering products, tools, services and technologies as well as offering educational program and network opportunities. Comp-U-Floor by AYA Associates, Inc. will be located at Booth #2606.

 

“We are thrilled to be introducing the Users Group at Surfaces,” said AYA Associates President Edgar Aya. “The Comp-U-Floor Users Group will be designed to mirror online what we experience at conventions such as Surfaces. Often times, group discussion can produce more meaningful results than one-on-one feedback between Comp-U-Floor and individual clients can.

 

“The Comp-U-Floor Users Group also enables our many clients located around the world to interact amongst one another and with Comp-U-Floor on a flexible schedule in a business that can be very time consuming, something our very products are designed to help streamline.”

 

Membership to the Comp-U-Floor Users Group is open to any individual employed by a company owning at least one license of Comp-U-Floor for Windows software product. The affordable $100 annual membership fee for the non-profit organization is dedicated to maintaining the organization’s services.

 

Membership also entitles Comp-U-Floor clients the opportunity to attend a User’s Group Conference, to be announced at a later date, in addition to the ability to participate in the online User Forum via www.CompUFloorUser.com, which is currently in production.
