Celidan Florist Review of Floranext POS Software

Floranext has allowed us to have a POS system that gives us a great layout and tech support, but lets us use our own images when needed and have complete control of content and pricing. They connect well with Flower Shop Network and we are able to accept orders from direct customers as well as other florists. For a low monthly fee we have everything we need to run our small business.

Pros

We use Floranext as our Point of Sale and for our internet orders. They have created a beautiful web page for us but we can also make changes and are in total control of it as well. We add our own images and are in charge of the products offered and pricing. It also offers Sales reports and daily delivery reports that are very helpful. When I have had questions their tech support has been available instantly. With the recent Covid issues I could not log in from home and they helped me solve that within a half hour of calling.

Cons

We cannot think of anything that is missing at this time.

Gain Independence in running your flower business

Customer service has been excellent. From the very beginning, they were super responsive and quick to turn it all around. I remember being so frustrated with our old wire-service driven "websites" (they were horrible), and feeling like Floranext was a breath of fresh air. I LOVE that I can totally design our website to be our own, it looks different from those typical canned boring sites that all look the same as everyone else. I am able to quickly make changes and launch new products and categories, turn things on and off. The pricing model is great... just pay your small monthly service fee and that's it... no "per transaction" fees, or constant upselling tactics. They have a super intuitive "super ticket" that we now use (letter size paper, not legal) or if you still have a bunch of old stock from your other system, you can configure your orders to that size.

Pros

This software is designed and continually updated by actual florists who have very strong technical knowledge. We were desperately looking for a product that was smart, flexible and affordable and best of all... didn't hold you hostage to a large old-fashioned floral wire service. Floranext was like a breath of fresh air. We use the POS component to run our daily business (phone and internet orders, used to run at our Retail shop) and also the Proposal service for all our Wedding and Event quotes and scheduling. It's all integrated into one super easy to use cloud-based system. We can literally run our business from anywhere we have internet access (yes, we can go on vacation now and check our orders!)

Cons

Not much that I don't like, but I am hoping that through continued development, the mobile app becomes more enhanced. We aren't consistently using the delivery app for our drivers because they are freelance and it's more user maintenance than makes sense. When I'm on my phone and need to do any work, I'm using the web version on my phone, which is cumbersome. But at least I can check on deliveries, confirm orders etc.

Best florist software

Overall I just love Floranext I've been with lots of other florists software companies and I should have never left Floranext I had them in the beginning and I'm glad I'm back for good.

Pros

What I like most about Floranext software is that all the things that come up are usually fixed with floanext whether it be saved in a draft from an order to go back the examples are endless.

Cons

I can't think of too much that I don't like about the software.

Unorganized Template, Too much scrolling, Clumbsy features

Retail florist

Pros

It would interface with our current operating system. But that's about it. I didn't have room enough on the least liked to I am writing it here. The template is badly designed. The order form is floating in air on the page. Constantly having to go to the computer to show the employees where to put the information in. Too much scrolling and searching to fill order page on the order forms and drop down window. The customer's total shows up in white against a orange capsule at the bottom that you have to scroll to. Very hard to see. Looking for another POS. That's how I found this page.

Cons

Bad placement for filling forms. A lot of little annoyances like the back button doesn't take you to the previous page. Too much scrolling and searching to fill order page. Can't send email receipts on the accounts page. Doesn't take payment on event page or partial payments. I've sent detail information as to what changes need to be made and they are always changing it but adding unnecessary features and not fixing the basic problems.

If you want to keep your hard earned money, this is the POS system that will do that for you.

Too many benefits too list, but the major one is that I keep having people tell me that they chose me because of the look of my site. It looks more custom designed and you can upload your owns arrangements AND PRICING...

Pros

The set up and ease of use was easier than I anticipated it would be. The staff is wonderful to work with and compassionate if you are computer challanged. This system offers 99% of what most florists would need on a daily basis and they keep expanding their programs.

Cons

Honestly my only complaint is that the Quickbooks on line link, is great for keeping track of your finances but I find that most accountants "hate" quickbooks on line. Now if they could link to a desk top version............WOW.
