Inventory Management for Florists

Arrangement & Stem Inventory Tracking - Manage Every Stem, Reduce Every Waste

Sunday night: leftover lilies staring at you from the cooler. Saturday afternoon: completely out of roses. Sound familiar? Hana's inventory arrangement system takes the guessing out of flower buying by calculating exact stem counts from real orders before you even call the wholesaler.

How Florist Inventory Management Supports Your Entire Shop

Build Arrangement Recipes Down to the Last Stem

A standard red rose bouquet calls for 12 roses, 5 stems of gypsophila, and 3 stems of eucalyptus. That recipe is saved in Hana. No mental math, no clipboard, no designer making it differently on a Saturday than a Wednesday.

Save every arrangement as a recipe with exact varieties and stem counts
Inventory deducted automatically when an order is placed for that arrangement
Designers follow the same recipe every time regardless of experience level
New staff do not need to memorize designs, they select the template
Pricing follows the recipe so costs stay accurate without manual calculation

Stem-Level Stock Tracking in Real Time

Hana Florist POS tracks every flower variety at the stem level. The current count for roses, lilies, greenery, and fillers is visible on any device at any moment, updated automatically.

Real-time stem counts for every variety in stock
Stock deducted automatically when an order using that stem is confirmed
Check stock from behind the counter, in the back room, or on a phone
No manual count needed to know what is actually available right now
Prevents the overselling that happens when two staff members work from different information

Low-Stock Alerts — Know on Tuesday, Not Saturday

The worst moment to discover roses are running low is Saturday morning of Valentine's week. Set a minimum threshold for each key variety and Hana sends an alert the moment stock drops below it.

Set a minimum threshold per variety, Hana watches the count continuously
Alert sent the moment any variety crosses its threshold
Enough warning to place a supplemental order before the rush hits
Works for every variety stocked, not just the top sellers
Thresholds set once and monitored automatically without any manual checking

Auto-Generated Weekly Purchase List From Actual Orders

Every confirmed upcoming order in Hana has an arrangement linked to it. Hana aggregates all arrangements due in the next seven days against current stock, and produces an exact purchase list broken down by variety.

All confirmed orders for the next seven days aggregated automatically appear on the list
Current stock levels cross-referenced so only what is actually needed appears on the list
Exact stem quantities per variety ready to send directly to the wholesaler
Takes Monday from guesswork to precision in seconds
Connects to wedding and event order planning so large event orders are included in the weekly calculation

Arrangement Template Library — One Click and It's Done

The standard Valentine's bouquet. The premium anniversary arrangement. The weekly corporate vase. Each one pulled into an order with a single click.

Save any design as a named template for instant reuse
Recipe, pricing, and stock deductions all apply automatically on selection
Especially useful for corporate accounts and recurring orders where consistency matters
Reduces order entry time and eliminates pricing errors on standard designs
Templates make onboarding new staff faster since recipes do not need to be memorized

Track Which Arrangements Actually Sell

Knowing what is made is only half the picture. Knowing what moves is the other half. Hana tracks performance across the full inventory arrangement catalogue.

Sales performance visible per arrangement across any date range
Identify top-selling designs to promote more actively
See which varieties are moving fast and which are sitting in the cooler too long
Make smarter buying decisions based on real sales data
Gradually phase out arrangements that consistently underperform

Mobile Inventory Access — Check Stock From the Wholesale Market

Standing at the market at 6am wondering if enough roses are already in the cooler for the week? Hana is cloud-based, so the full inventory arrangement system is accessible from any phone, tablet, or laptop with a browser.

Check live stem counts from the wholesale market before buying
Add a new template or update a recipe from the back room
Review the weekly purchase list from home on Sunday evening
Receive a low-stock alert on the phone during a delivery run
No device restrictions and no needing to be at a specific counter

Organize Flowers Smarter, Not Harder

The cooler should not feel like a treasure hunt. Reserve open blooms for same-day orders, parties, and short-term displays. Save tighter buds for birthdays, hospitals, and arrangements that need a longer vase life.

Group flowers by variety, color, and size so designers can find what they need
Keep fresh flowers and artificial inventory stored separately to avoid confusion
Use a first-in, first-out approach so older stems are sold before newer arrivals
Make daily stock checks faster by keeping similar products together
Reduce shrinkage by knowing exactly what is fresh, what is aging, and what needs to move next

Inventory That Talks to Every Other Part of the Floral Business

Inventory management in Hana Florist POS is not a standalone tool. Every flower shop stem count, recipe, and purchase list connects to the systems running the rest of the shop.

Orders: Every confirmed order deducts the relevant stems from stock automatically through Hana's order management. No manual stock adjustment needed after every sale.
Weddings and Events: Large event orders are included in the seven-day purchase list calculation. Wedding and event tools connect to the same inventory so nothing is double-booked or undersupplied.
Multiple Locations: For shops with more than one site, multi-location inventory management tracks stock at each location separately and shows where transfers between shops make sense.
Employee Management: Access permissions set through Hana's employee management control which team members can update recipes, adjust stock counts, or view the purchase list.
Accounting: Stem costs and inventory values feed into Hana's accounting tools so the full cost picture is always current without a separate calculation.

Both. Hana tracks inventory at the stem level for every flower variety in stock and links those counts to arrangement recipes. When an order is confirmed for a specific bouquet, the relevant stems are deducted automatically. Stem-level inventory can be checked independently of any arrangement at any time.

Hana looks at all confirmed upcoming orders for the next seven days, identifies the arrangement linked to each, checks the stem requirements from the recipe, and compares against current stock. The result is a list based on real confirmed orders rather than estimates. Accuracy depends on recipes being current and orders being confirmed in Hana, both of which the system makes straightforward.

No. Changes to a recipe apply going forward only. Confirmed existing orders keep the original recipe used when they were placed. Historical records stay accurate and current orders are not affected by recipe updates.

Yes. The full inventory arrangement system including stock levels, templates, low-stock alerts, and the purchase list is accessible from any device with a browser. Many florists check stock and purchase lists from the wholesale market or from home before the week starts.

A minimum threshold is set per variety. When the count for any variety drops below it, an alert is sent. During peak periods this gives enough warning to call the wholesaler and place a supplemental order before running short rather than discovering the problem the morning of the rush.
