Abstract
A software and/or internet based system and method for enabling a buyer or potential buyer of floor coverings to access directly information relating to former, current and proposed future installation projects as well as information on available products. The information available is tailored to the needs of the individual requester. Global data for a customer is broadly accessible through a URL site dedicated to that customer. However, the actual scope of information available to any individual requesting data on behalf of a customer is limited to pre-authorized data elements corresponding to the scope of responsibility held by the requesting individual.
