What it costs

Flowers die. The numbers should say so.

Generic shop software counts tins on a shelf, and a tin keeps. A bucket of tulips does not. This counts what you bought, what the orders used, and what you threw away — and tells you what that cost.

Orders take their own flowers

Switch counting on for a product and an order takes it off the shelf by itself. Nobody has to remember to write anything down, which is the only way stock figures survive a Saturday.

A bouquet is made of stems

Give a product a recipe — twelve roses, three stems of eucalyptus, one wrap — and an order takes the components off the shelf instead of the bouquet. What it costs you to make is then the sum of its parts, kept up to date as the parts change price.

Wastage is written down

What went in the bin goes in as wastage, with what it cost you. Most florists know they throw flowers away and have no number for it. After a month here, you do.

What it tells you

  • What is running low, before the morning you need it
  • What each bouquet costs to make, and what is left after you sell it
  • A warning when a product is priced at or below what it costs you
  • What you have paid each grower and wholesaler

You can start small

Counting is off until you switch it on, product by product. Begin with the half-dozen things you buy by the box and care about; leave the rest uncounted. A stock system you only half keep up is worse than none, so this one lets you keep up with the part that matters.

Being straight about it

There is no ordering from your wholesaler through this, no barcode scanning and no automatic re-ordering. It tells you what you have and what it cost; buying is still a phone call or an early morning at the market.

Try it with this week's orders

Sign up, add a few products, and put a real order through. If it does not save you time, walk away — there is nothing to cancel.
