Independent florists carry the same perishable risk as a chain with a fraction of the overhead to manage it. Florocia takes the stock visibility problem off the bench without adding a second set of books to maintain.
Built for
Single-location shops running their own buying, building and delivery
Setup
A week of intake records and your current order list is enough to start
Day to day
Minutes at intake and a review of the amber list, not a daily stock count

Two bundle suggestions waiting on the gerbera and the tuberose. Review takes about a minute each.
None of these are failures of effort. They are failures of visibility, which is a different problem with a different fix.
Stock goes out the back in ones and twos. By Sunday the number is real money, but nobody can say which batch it came from or what could have moved it.
Every loss is tied to a batch, a received date and the action taken, so the weekly figure comes with an explanation.
The person counting stock is also the person building arrangements, answering the phone and managing the rider. Counting loses.
The record builds itself from intake and order activity, so the stock position is current without a dedicated count.
Orders in one place, stock in another, customer preferences remembered by one person who is on leave this week.
One view across stock, orders, delivery windows and customer history, readable by whoever is on shift.
Buying for a festival in the same week as the festival means paying peak wholesale rates and still running short.
A fourteen-day demand view with the buying consequence attached, so the pre-book happens at a standing rate.
Florocia is not a second job. It attaches to the five moments in a week where a decision is already being made.
Monday
Log the week’s first intake
Confirm counts against the supplier docket. Freshness clocks start on their own.
Tuesday
Clear the amber list
Review the two or three bundle suggestions sitting against ageing stock. Approve, edit or decline.
Thursday
Look at the weekend
Check the forecast peak, confirm the pre-book, decide whether a second pair of hands is needed.
Saturday
Work the windows
Build order on one list, route clusters already grouped, capacity holding the line on new slots.
Sunday
Read the week
Write-off value, recovery rate per batch, which occasions performed and what to buy less of.
A week of intake records and your current order list. We will set the freshness windows and show you where the loss is sitting.
