About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

QuoteIQ Transforms Carpet Cleaning Industry with AI-Powered CRM That Helps Small Businesses Compete Against Major Franchise

QuoteIQ Transforms Carpet Cleaning Industry with AI-Powered CRM That Helps Small Businesses Compete Against Major Franchise
QuoteIQ solves many of the problems that face carpet cleaning business owners.
Platform's InstaQuote, InstaSchedule, and Route Optimization Features Drive 40% Revenue Growth for Independent Carpet Cleaners While Reducing Administrative Work by 35

QuoteIQ, the fastest-growing business management platform for home service professionals, today announced significant traction in the carpet cleaning sector as independent businesses leverage the company's all-in-one CRM to level the playing field against large franchise operations.

The platform addresses the critical competitive disadvantage small carpet cleaning businesses face when competing with franchises that have long dominated through superior technology infrastructure. QuoteIQ now provides independent operators with enterprise-level automation—including 24/7 online booking, intelligent pricing with automatic upsells, and GPS-optimized routing—at a fraction of traditional software costs.

Rapid Expansion Through Industry Partnership Model

"Our rapid expansion into carpet cleaning and other home service industries has been fueled by a simple philosophy: we don't build software in a vacuum," said Mike Vidan, Co-Founder of QuoteIQ. "We've gotten into new industries by building deep relationships with industry veterans, sitting down with successful business owners, and truly understanding their needs—what's currently missing in their operations, what's costing them time and money, and what competitive advantages they're lacking. Then we build and implement exactly those missing pieces. That approach has allowed us to create solutions that actually solve real problems rather than generic software that looks good but doesn't move the needle."

Game-Changing Results for Carpet Cleaning Businesses

Carpet cleaning companies using QuoteIQ report transformative operational improvements:

  • 90% reduction in no-shows through automated appointment reminders and confirmations
  • 15-25% increase in average ticket size through intelligent upsell prompts for services like stain treatments, pet odor removal, and Scotchgard protection
  • 35% reduction in administrative overhead as automated quoting eliminates hours of phone tag
  • 24/7 booking capability captures after-hours demand previously lost to competitors

Jennifer Martinez, owner of Pristine Carpet Care in Phoenix, exemplifies these results: "Before QuoteIQ, I spent three hours daily answering phones and giving estimates. Now 70% of my quotes happen automatically. My revenue is up 40% year-over-year, and my average ticket jumped from $145 to $185."

Carpet-Specific Features Deliver Precision and Profitability

Unlike generic CRM platforms, QuoteIQ includes features purpose-built for carpet cleaning operations:

  • Automatic room measurements for accurate square footage pricing
  • Stain surcharge calculators that adjust pricing based on treatment complexity
  • Pet treatment add-on logic that prompts for odor elimination services
  • Scotchgard upsell automation that increases revenue per job
  • Route optimization that minimizes drive time between appointments
  • GPS-verified time tracking that prevents payroll discrepancies

Breaking the Franchise Advantage

Historically, large carpet cleaning franchises like Stanley Steemer and Chem-Dry have dominated through superior customer experience infrastructure—online booking, instant quotes, and professional follow-up systems. QuoteIQ's InstaQuote and InstaSchedule features now provide independent operators with identical capabilities.

"The big franchises used to win because they made booking easy," Vidan explained. "When a homeowner searches for carpet cleaning at 9 PM on a Tuesday, franchise websites let them get a quote and book instantly. Local businesses lost those jobs because they couldn't answer the phone. QuoteIQ eliminates that disadvantage entirely."

Addressing Industry-Wide Pain Points

The carpet cleaning industry, valued at $7.3 billion in the United States, faces persistent operational challenges that QuoteIQ directly addresses:

Customer Acquisition: Automated review requests after every payment build online reputation, while professional instant quotes convert leads at higher rates than manual estimates.

Scheduling Chaos: Integrated calendar systems and route optimization save hours daily while reducing fuel costs and increasing job capacity.

Pricing Pressure: Carpet-specific quoting tools with built-in upsell logic help businesses charge appropriately for specialized services rather than competing solely on price.

Labor Management: Mobile app access allows technicians to view job details, clock in/out with GPS verification, and collect payments without constant office communication.

Platform Momentum Across Home Services

While making significant impact in carpet cleaning, QuoteIQ's success extends across dozens of home service verticals including HVAC, roofing, plumbing, window cleaning, pressure washing, janitorial services, and landscaping—any industry where rapid quoting and seamless scheduling drive competitive advantage.

Availability and Pricing

QuoteIQ offers a free 14-day trial with month-to-month pricing thereafter. The platform includes mobile apps for iOS and Android, unlimited users, and 24/7 customer support via text, email, or phone.
