Rundoo vs. FlyoverOS: who keeps your books?
Rundoo: A modern, venture-backed point-of-sale and back-office platform for independent paint, hardware, and lumber stores — including its own accounting.
Public facts and our own experience, nothing else. The right tool depends on your size and on where the pain actually is.
What Rundoo is good at
- A genuinely modern interface, built recently and built well
- Point of sale for a busy retail counter
- Well funded, with a growing team and product
Where it stops for a distributor
- Your general ledger lives in their system — if they change direction, raise prices, or shut down, your accounting goes with them
- It's a rip-and-replace: the accountant, the bookkeeper, and every QuickBooks habit move too
- Retail-first: contractor estimating and contract pricing are not the center of the design
Pick Rundoo if…
- Retail point of sale is most of the business and you're willing to move accounting
- You want one vendor for the counter, the back office, and the books
- You're starting fresh with no QuickBooks history to protect
Pick FlyoverOS if…
- You sell mostly to contractors on estimates, sales orders, and contract pricing
- Your accountant lives in QuickBooks and you'd like to keep it that way
- You want your books to remain yours no matter what happens to your software vendor
Either way, protect your books. With FlyoverOS, QuickBooks stays your ledger the entire time — every invoice and payment lands in your own file, and if we disappeared tomorrow your accounting would be intact and current. Read how we handle your data.
