Practical ideas for running your flower shop and selling more: the regulations that affect you, how to organise orders, control your margin and close weddings without nasty surprises. Written for florists, not for IT people.
The two most similar florist programs in Spain, compared module by module and euro by euro: free plan, delivery, weddings, online shop and Verifactu.
Rumbo POS is a very cheap POS with hardware included; Evoflor starts from orders, delivery and events. Which suits you depending on how your flower shop sells.
Verial is an ERP with lots of stock and admin control; Evoflor, cloud-based flower shop software with delivery, events and an online shop. Who each one is for.
Programflor is strong on delivery from a phone and doesn’t publish prices; Evoflor adds events, an online shop and a free plan. The differences, straight up.
Both have a free plan, but they don’t give away the same thing: an online shop in dollars, or flower shop management in euros with Verifactu. Which suits you in Spain.
