If a florist shop doesn't have the right point of sale system, they will find it hard to generate sales, keep track of their flowers, provide timely deliveries, and handle seasonal demand. Manual processes can result in wilted flower stock, long checkout lines, inaccurate custom orders and poor customer communication for flower businesses.

Running a florist business without a dedicated Point of sale system is quite challenging. Let's take a look at the typical issues that florist owners and managers face on a daily basis.
A florist is dealing in perishable material which changes daily. If a suitable tracking system is not in place, shops risk overstocking of flowers that might wilt before being sold, running out of popular flower arrangements, over-ordering supplies from the wholesaler, and wasting money where they do not need to.
Taking custom floral orders manually through phone calls, paper slips, or basic spreadsheets creates room for mistakes. Wrong flower varieties, missed add-ons, incorrect delivery addresses, and forgotten special instructions all damage customer satisfaction and repeat business.
Handling orders by telephone, paper or a simple spreadsheet can lead to inaccuracies. Misplaced addresses, forgotten special instructions, wrong flower varieties, missed add-ons: all reduce customer retention and satisfaction as well as customer retention.
Florists that offer delivery need clear scheduling and routing. Without a proper system, delivery times get mixed up, drivers receive incomplete instructions, and customers are left waiting without updates, resulting in complaints and chargebacks.
Owners Inventory is the all-in-one florist POS system that allows florists to manage, custom orders, flower inventory, deliveries, and customer accounts from a single platform.
Stock levels are automatically updated every time a sale or a supplier deliveries are made, or when the day is adjusted. Real-time inventory tracking results in no over-ordering, less flower waste and availability of popular stems and arrangements for walk-in customers and advance ordering.
The system can seamlessly lead the staff to order a custom flower, confirm the flower selection, record the delivery information, enter special instructions, and accept payment. All orders are registered in full, minimizing errors and omissions.
Handle wedding flower packages, corporate standing orders, funeral arrangements and subscription deliveries and daily retail sales from one calendar-based system. The order types have their own working procedures, which help in keeping the shop organized even during peak seasons.
Give tasks to drivers, add notes and pictures to each order and monitor the status of the tasks in real-time. Automated notifications can be sent to customers when their order is out for delivery, decreasing inbound calls and making customers happier.
Every customer interaction, order history, preferences, and communication is stored in a centralized profile. Staff can pull up a returning customer's favorite flowers in seconds and proactively reach out for birthdays, anniversaries, and seasonal promotions.
One reporting dashboard provides revenue per day, per week or per month, top selling arrangements, flower cost per order, delivery performance and waste. Flower shop owners will now enjoy the visibility that is essential for them when they need to make a purchase, set a price as well as maintain their profitable growth.

Stock levels are automatically updated every time a sale, delivery receipt or waste write-off is made. Florist managers are always perfectly aware of what is in the cooler, what is dwindling and what needs to be ordered before the next rush.
Make custom orders with different flowers, quantities, colours, extras, card text and packing. The total cost of the arrangement is calculated automatically using ingredients and labour costs, for accurate quoting and healthy margins.
Take care of walk-ins, telephone orders, online store orders and wholesale accounts all in one queue. All orders undergo the same confirmation and fulfilment process, minimising risk of missing work and the likelihood of duplication.
Plan deliveries, assign drivers, route deliveries and manage the status of each delivery from the POS dashboard. Staff can attach delivery photos, collect digital signatures, and send customers automated status updates without needing a separate tool.
Prepare and issue Purchase Orders to flower wholesalers and receive the flowers and compare against the orders. The system facilitates florists in organizing their orders in relation to other events and seasonal peaks.
Stores customer contact information, order history, flower preferences, future events and loyalty points per profile. This data can be used by the staff to provide customized customer service and to implement targeted promotions that encourage repeat visits.

Owners Inventory synchronizes all aspects of your florist business. Every task from receiving flowers from your wholesaler, to confirming a wedding order, to dispatching a same-day delivery is live on one dashboard and linked to the same inventory and customer records.

The florist POS system turns everyday data into reports that include trends in revenue, best selling arrangements, costs of flowers per order, waste percentage, delivery percentage and customer retention. This information guides owners to better buying decisions, pricing, and identification of the arrangements and seasons that are most profitable.
Each team member can access only the information they need. Each member of the counter staff, delivery personnel, florist and manager has clear permission levels, keeping financial data secure and ensuring accurate financial records.

Orders placed online are synchronised across systems, payment history is synchronised across systems and supplier invoices are synchronised across systems, and customer communications are synchronised across systems, all without the need for manual reconciliation, ensuring financial records are accurate.
