Delivery windows

Promise the windows you can actually keep.

Scheduling by hand holds together for a handful of orders a day. Florocia places each order into a delivery window weighed against workroom capacity, route clustering and the build time the arrangement really needs.

How a slot is chosen

Four constraints, resolved before the slot is offered.

A delivery window that ignores the bench is a guess. These are the limits Florocia checks first.

Workroom capacity first

A window is only as wide as the hands available to build what sits inside it. Capacity is set per shift, and a window stops accepting once it is full.

Clustered by area

Orders heading to the same sector are grouped into the same window where the customer has not asked for a specific time, which shortens the run without touching the promise.

Build time, not just drive time

A forty-stem installation and a hand-tied posy are not the same job. Scheduling accounts for assembly load, not only distance.

Freshness-aware sequencing

Arrangements built on stock near the end of its window are sequenced earlier in the day, so the customer receives it at its best.

Capacity balancing

When a window fills, the next one opens - not an apology.

Each window carries a capacity figure you set per shift. Once it is reached, the slot closes to new orders and the customer is offered the next genuinely available one. Overbooking becomes a decision you make deliberately, not something you discover at four in the afternoon.

  • Per-shift capacity, adjustable for peak weeks and short-staffed days
  • Same-day cut-off times enforced per window rather than per shop
  • Manual override available on every slot, because a regular customer sometimes outranks the rule

The workroom sees one list

Build order, not arrival order. The bench works through the sequence that keeps every window on time.

Riders get clean runs

Clustered addresses, window boundaries and the sequence already decided. Fewer calls back to the shop mid-route.

Exceptions surface early

A window running tight, a stock shortage against a committed order, a delivery with no confirmed address - flagged while there is still time.

Set your windows once. Let the capacity hold the line.

Most shops are running four windows and guessing at the limits. We will help you set real numbers against each one in the first session.
