Challenges

Streamlining and automating

backend processes


Stacy K Floral was thriving.

On top of running 150 to 200 weddings a year, Stacy K Ercan, the owner, also ran a gift shop and daily flower deliveries.

However, Stacy had so many manual tasks that they needed a full-time employee to cover the role, including:

1 Importing customer data into proposal documents
2 Breaking down each order to create a shopping list
3 Entering products from a spreadsheet to create purchase orders
4 Keeping a physical log of different flower prices
5 Ensuring data safety by locking printed orders in a cabinet

“I needed a better way of managing the backend processes of my businesses such as ordering, sending orders to supplies, and keeping track of data. I wanted to run weddings and events efficiently and still have time to run the gift shop and daily flower deliveries,” says Stacy.
