When searching for a kitchen and bathroom remodeling software, there are 5 main features you’ll want to closely evaluate to ensure they fit your needs. 

• Lead Generation - For finding new projects to work on and keeping all lead information organized in one place.
• Design & Takeoff Tools - You’ll need to help clients visualize their floor plan in 3D, conduct takeoffs to inform your estimates and more. Your software should be able to do all of this in a way that helps you save hours every day.
• Project Management - For helping manage the day-to-day processes of your kitchen & bath business (project schedules, task delegation, time and expense tracking, etc.).
• Invoicing & Online Payment Tools - For sending client invoices, creating change orders and getting paid quickly.
• Integrations - Your kitchen & bathroom remodeling software should work with all of the other tools you use to manage your business (QuickBooks, Gmail, etc.). 

Any good kitchen and bathroom remodeling software program should have these features, but there may be differences in how technical or extensive they are. The best way to get a feel for whether a software is right for you is by signing up for a demo or starting a free trial. This way you can test drive the features before committing to a subscription.
