Our People: Hand Picked To Best Serve Our Florist Clients
FloristWare clients are supported by hand-picked team of experienced floral industry professionals with over 100 years of industry experience.
Whether you are researching a new POS system, getting support on that POS in an emergency, or anything else in between you deserve to speak to highly trained, knowledgeable and experienced industry professionals who were hired solely because of their ability to provide you with the best possible service.
These are the people we employ to assist our florist clients – the one able to serve you best.
- We don't outsource to foreign call centers. When you have a problem you don't want to further complicate things with language issues.
- We don't outsource to North American call centers where agents are handling Zappos refunds one minute and trying to figure out our system the next.
- We don't employ friends or family members whose only qualification is that they need a job. When you have a problem you don't need to be explaining redirects to someone with no industry experience.
The people in the back office - the ones our clients generally don't deal with - are important too. Here we employ experienced professionals and experts in their fields - chosen for their ability to keep FloristWare on the right path and be here for our clients. We take this seriously.
We're proud of our team. It was assembled with your needs (the service and expertise you deserve and a well-managed company backing it up) and not a desire to save money or help relatives. It's all about you, our florist clients.
