Streamlining of process flow and money saving due to eliminating the need for other software packages

The software is very intuitive and easy to use. It is allowing us to replace three different pieces of software we have been using and subscribing to, as we get all the functionality and perks all in one package. It is also helping us to stream line the quoting process with being able to do multiple functions within the software and allows us to send a very professional looking proposal to our clients. The support response and tuition is the best I have received from purchasing a piece of Software! It real is first class!

The label on the email notification that is sent through from the web pay option makes it hard to tie up which project has been paid for. Sarah is working on a fix for this!

I know that I don't use the program to it's full ability... I don't create recipes or or create orders through Curate, which I'm sure, if I ever grew to be a bigger company with multiple employees, I would definitely see the benefit in but how I use it, is perfect for me. As I have been using it for several years, I have had the pleasure of seeing all of the functionality changes that have been made to the program (for example, adding a section for html color codes is such a fun new feature!) I have raved to other florists about my experience with curate and I have heard from clients about how my quotes were night and day from other floral quotes they had received with presentation, the amount of photos for visuals and the level of detail. Once my clients receive and sign off on their quote, they are confident about what they will be receiving on their wedding day and I am always able to recall exactly what the game plan is months after I've written the quote and am getting ready for production/design.

Curate has totally changed the game when it comes to writing clean, beautiful quotes for my clients plus it has saved me so much time. It used to take me hours to write quotes and now I've cut my quote writing time in half. I have had clients book me because they were blown away by the detail, and ease of reading the quote compared to other florists they had spoken to. I love that I have all of my financial reporting in one place here, I use the reports function all of the time, it makes my monthly accounting tasks so easy.

There are a few things I would love to see developed on curate. First of all I would love it if there was an app I could download to my phone. When I'm away from my computer I have to access Curate through my phone's internet browser and it's always a pain to log in and navigate. I would also love to be able to attach external documents to any emails I send through curate. For example, my company has a pdf rental guide that we frequently send to our clients when we send them their proposal. As far as I can tell, there is no way to attach a document to these outgoing emails so I have to send the client a second email with the document and it always seems less clean to me. The less emails my clients get, the better. I'd also love to be able to bold or italicize or underline text in the description boxes (not a big deal but sometimes I need to make a point or draw attention to what is written.

Things started off great! After trying Caterease, which felt archaic in comparison. Though the pricing was about the same as Caterease, the functionality and UI were better so I transitioned over to Curate. They were a small company, and very receptive to my feedback and needs, and quick to implement some of the suggestions I had. I got to know the [sensitive content hidden] , and was even asked to be a customer testimonial to their venture capitalists when they were expanding. Then changes started. The once easily-navigable UI started getting clunkier. Things stopped working as well as they did before. Their updates were more like bugs. All the while, I'm still paying $3400 a year for degrading software. Then, as I mentioned above, I stopped receiving inquiries. Noticed after a few days that business wasn't coming in. What's wrong, I asked? Apparently, there's an annual quota of inquiries they allow into your account. Once you've hit that quota, you have to pay them more! They literally turned off my business and essentially shut my business down without notice or hesitation, and PUNISHED me for being successful. Absolutely unacceptable, and I found another software (Honeybook!) that same day, and transitioned within a week. Saved myself $3000 a year, and have had zero regrets or complaints.

Curate had an attractive and professional UI that made our previous software obsolete.

The fact that they charge you per inquiry/file you create. I was paying $3400 a year for their service, and you get a limited amount of inquiries with your subscription, I believe it was 200 new inquiries. Even if you have to decline the inquiry, it counts towards your quota. So, as a caterer with a busy summer, I could get 10 inquiries for 1 day and only be able to accept 2 of them, but now I've used 1/20th of my annual count for a single day's worth of inquiries. Want to add more? It's going to cost you $200 more for 100 more slots. I moved to honeybook, and pay 1/10 of the annual price for unlimited inquiries. Shame on you, Curate.

I have loved using Curate and would recommend it to business of all sizes. Another great thing about the software is the wonderful support team that comes with it. They are always up for a quick chat and questions are answered so quickly. That seems so rare these days.

Curate not only streamlined the many processes we used to book clients, but it did so with a beautiful, sophistical, and professional presentation. Before Curate, writing and customizing proposals, chasing down clients to sign pdf contracts, and collecting and processing payment were three completely separate systems - and they ate up so much time. Having one clickable button for each entire event was so organized and streamlined. Using this software really elevated the look and feel of my business. I can't pick a single favorite thing about it... but maybe it's the time saving bit.

I always wished I could add an additional fill-in section to the contract so I could collect clients's credit card info to keep on file. The software does let you create a form to do this but it is sent separately, so clients would easily "forget" to fill that out. If it was part of the contract and had to be completed to be submitted, we could keep that info as a backup plan for those more "easy-going" clients.

Honestly it is a game changer. We used to spend hours creating proposals and having to add/subtract stems and pricing and the software does it for you. It has streamlined our processes and communication with our clients and our wholesaler.

The ease in creating proposals, receiving content and keeping all details in one place. Our company is a full service floral, design and planning company. We use curate through the entire process from initial inquiry, contract management, floral proposals, client intake forms and correspondence, receiving payments, floral ordering and creating using the recipes. The real question is is there anything we don't use curate for? The templates for all the things! The forms for our clients to complete

ahhh. I wish I had the option of organizing the event properties to my preference instead of alphabetized. I would like to be able to create a detailed timeline for my vendors and clients that I could use the customization feature for instead of having to transfer all my information into canva. I probably need a tutorial on the photo upload feature. It is basically a dump all for our inspo. photos over the years. I would like to be able to search them instead of scrolling through tons of photos. i=I'd also like to see popular pantone colors available in the new color feauture. Also,
