Florist Shop: Plantation Flower Shop

Customer Name: Jeff Thompson

The Challenge: Customer inherited an old POS system from the previous owner

After discovering that the point of sale system that I inherited from the previous owner of my new flower shop was a Teleflora Daisy POS, I immediately felt out of touch with it. As a new business owner, I prepared a thorough checklist of expectations from my POS system, since I heard many stories from other florists about the drawbacks of older systems compared to newer ones.

One of the most common complaints about older POS systems I heard was that they require a fair bit of maintenance, while not always giving you all the tools you need to keep track of the everyday goings-on involved in running a busy flower shop.

This was something I intended to avoid as I knew my time and resources would be in high demand, and short supply.

It was time to explore other options

I knew that there were features I wanted in my POS solution that I simply couldn’t do without. I wanted a system that could a) give me the freedom to focus on my new shop b) provide a complete solution that would save me from drowning in tech gear c) provide me with the support I needed.

Since investing in the wrong point of sale system can be costly in more ways than one, discovering Hana Florist POS couldn’t have happened at a better time. Hana met all my requirements with a full suite of features designed to make running a busy flower shop simple.

The system comes with a web-based interface that gives you access to your store from anywhere, a fully-fledged CRM module, an A/R and House Account Module along with Delivery and Design Management add-ons.
