• FloristWare has simpliflied the the training process for new employees, because the system is so easy to use. It virtually “walks” the staff through the order taking process. An important benefit, this saves time and money in getting new staff up to speed. This is in stark contrast to most other systems where it can take as much as a week to train new users on the basics.

  – Alison Roberge

  Owner, All About Flowers | Edmonton Alberta

  – James Vince

• We tried QuickBooks POS but immediately realized that the flower business is very different from other types of retail. We need a system that was designed from the ground up with florists in mind and switched back to FloristWare immediately. Just accounting isn't good enough for a real florist.

  – Richard

  Owner, Jackie O Flowers | Toronto Ontario
• Thanks for checking in! We are doing just great and loving FloristWare.

They put my glossy postcard in all the Prom packets. My Prom Open House this past weekend was a HUGE success, and Floristware is tracking it all for me.

• Having the customer loyalty points program in general increases repeat customers/sales because customers know they are building discounts toward future purchases. From the customer's point of view: not having to carry "another" points card is a big plus and encourages customers to sign up for the program without hesitation.

  – Dorothy Zunti

  Owner, Summerland Flowers and Gifts | Summerland BC
• The folks at FloristWare are responsive to the changing retail landscape and offer great added benefits to their clients like webinars. The service department is excellent and help is a quick call away when we have questions.

• I really like the Progress Tracker feature. I use it as a small “Dispatch Manager” (or my version of it). I do not use delivery slips, but print delivery lists from progress tracker and use it as trip sheets – it looks much more professional.
