Sayd Debby McSwiggen, Manager of BW Keystone had this to say about her experience using Floral Computer System's SMARTSystem, "The SMARTSystem is one of the easiest systems to learn and use. The Floral Computer System is very user friendly. I have had much success in using the system and also teaching our staff how it works. Any problems that were encountered in the first few weeks of using the new system were quickly addressed and solved by the staff at Floral Computer Systems. Also, any special programs that we needed to have implemented on our new system were fulfilled to our greatest desires. "It was and still is a pleasure to work with John Henderson and his staff. They are quick to respond to any situation and resolve the matter immediately. Any questions I have with the system are addressed and explained in detail so I can understand the full concept. I would recommend this system to anybody in the floral business. The SMARTSystem is one of the easiest systems to learn and use."

Ocean Breeze Farms Improves Operations with Floral Computer Systems

"The SMARTSystem is the second thing that’s turned on at the start of every business day. The first thing we turn on are the lights." ~ Mike Furlong, Manager Ocean Breeze Farms, Carpinteria, California


"The SMARTSystem is the home of our customer database. It’s the home of our product database and our inventory. SMARTSystem processes our orders, cuts our waybills, runs our sales reports, and closes out our day; seamlessly transfers our sales transactions and data to our accounting system. The SMARTSystem is one of our most valuable assets."


"We knew we made the right choice when we had our first training session. A detail like training is usually overlooked or offered at an extra charge. How many companies do you purchase from that are as committed to your success with their products as Floral Computer Systems. John Henderson was patient, understanding and knowledgeable. The training was the key to our crew working with confidence and eagerness. Think how valuable it is when your crew is cooperative when learning a new system and are invested in the success of that system."


"Support is a very important part of a business software system and I can say without qualification that the customer support offered by Floral Computer Systems is unequaled. They are always willing to step in to address even the smallest of details with a response time that make you wonder if you’re their only customer."


"The SMARTSystem was the best choice our team made in many years and it not only fits with a desire to operate in a smarter, more efficient manner it actually makes our sales team smarter and more efficient. With Floral Computer Systems we found everything that we require to run our business."

Zeidler Floral Increases Profits With Floral Smart System

Zeidler Floral in Indiana has been using Floral Computer Systems Smart System for a little over two years. Here is what Blake Mobley, President of Zeidler had to say about the implementation decision:


"First off, the entire implementation process was very professional, well organized, and paced properly. It was your thoroughness throughout and high level of communication that always gave me the confidence we could transition into better operators by using the tools of the Smart System. Everyone caught on very easily and we never missed a beat going live a few weeks before Valentine’s Day. It was clearly evident that future success was in our cards if we continued our use and learn the system.


"Now, two years later and over several holidays, I can say with factual proof, that the Smart System is helping us to be more profitable. The main reason, amongst many, has been the easy accessibility to answers of what we have and what we need for when. "The guesswork is mostly gone and our turns and margins are better than ever. By using the system we know right away if pricing is out of line and have a pulse of our margins at all times. There is no longer the waiting for monthly financials to know where we stand and that in itself had given my managers and I the answers we need to make changes in real-time and not weeks later.


"Thank you for giving us the tools and support to be better in serving our customers and being a more efficient and profitable business. I wish every investment in technology gave us the ROI as the Smart System and look forward to many more years of working together."

"We put in the SMARTSystem right before a major holiday and it made a huge difference in our operation. This software streamlined our business so we’re much more cost efficient."

Ever-Bloom Grows Business With Floral Computer Systems

Ivan Van Wingerden of Ever-Bloom Inc. in Carpinteria, California had this to say about the implementation of Floral Computer Systems' SMARTGrown system, "The SMARTGrow software from Floral Computer Systems has been a game-changer for us at Ever-Bloom. We nervously waved goodbye to our old FAS system and jumped head first into this robust sales and accounting system and haven’t looked back since. The system was nearly turn-key for a lot of the features we needed, and the tricky custom requirements were able to be added in and have worked seamlessly. The best part about the system is its ability to adapt and improve as the industry changes. We’ve added features as customer requirements or operational procedures have changed, which has added a lot of value to the system and kept it up to date and relevant.  We’re very pleased with the SMARTSystem and have enjoyed working with its dedicated team of programmers and problem solvers."

Business At Riverside Wholesale Blooms With Floral Computer Systems

Riverside Wholesale Florist of Paducah, Kentucky, has been in the business of premium fresh cut flowers since 1983.  Prior to implementing Floral Computer Systems, hours were spent sourcing the perfect product, looking through records, and tracking inventory with pen and paper.  After the switch to Floral, the business was able to monitor their margins and product loss and for the first time, sell against incoming inventory.


Said Clay Smith, Riverside Wholesale Florist's Manager, “Floral Computer has changed the game for us, completely.” Because of Floral's system, customers are getting better service and employees are saving considerable time without having to run back and forth between coolers to look at our inventory.  The complicated task of keeping prices up to date has been cut from hours to minutes and Floral Computer runs seamlessly with QuickBooks to make accounting easier than ever.


Said Smith, "Getting Floral Computer in our store is like giving a telescope to Galileo. With the experience of our staff combined with the effectiveness of Floral Computer, we are seeing results we never thought possible."
