What Clients Say

"Before AIQ Labs, our small team wasted every Friday afternoon sorting through stacks of invoices for Valentine's Day rose deliveries. Now, automation handles it seamlessly— we saved 12 hours a week during peak season, and it flagged a $500 volume discount on Dutch tulip imports that we'd have overlooked. Total game-changer for keeping our online orders flowing without extra stress."

Sarah Jenkins

Owner, Bloom Haven Florist & Online Boutique

"I was hesitant at first, but their custom automation slotted right into our Shopify store and QuickBooks setup. What used to take three full days to process 200+ monthly invoices for Mother's Day bouquets is now down to just four hours. We've halved our AP errors on delivery matches, giving us breathing room to respond to customer reviews and upsell add-ons like custom vases."

Mike Rodriguez

Operations Manager, Petal Pushers E-Commerce Floral Shop

"In our seasonal floral business, cash flow is make-or-break, especially with exotic orchid shipments from Asia. This automation got our delayed payments current in just two weeks after rollout, saving us 18 hours weekly on manual checks. The ROI kicked in under three months, letting us stock more trending air plants without the usual scramble—should've switched years ago."

Common Questions

How does this automation handle the variety of invoice formats from different floral suppliers?

Florists deal with everything from digital PDFs to emailed images or even paper scans from local nurseries. Our AI uses advanced OCR and machine learning trained on diverse formats, extracting key details like vendor names, amounts, and due dates with 98% accuracy. We customize it to recognize specifics, such as seasonal pricing for roses or bulk discounts on greenery. During setup, we map your common suppliers, ensuring quick processing even in high-volume periods. This reduces manual verification time dramatically, letting you focus on arrangements rather than admin. Post-launch, it learns from your data for even better performance.

What kind of time savings can a small florist shop expect?

Let's be honest, small shops often lose 15-25 hours weekly to AP tasks, especially pre-holidays. Our system automates entry, matching, and approvals, typically saving 15-20 hours per week for a team handling 100+ invoices monthly. For example, one client cut their processing from 4 days to under 1, freeing staff for customer-facing work. ROI kicks in fast—often within 2-3 months through labor savings and fewer errors. It's built for your workflow, so savings scale with your business size, whether you're a single location or multi-channel e-commerce.

Will this integrate with my existing POS and accounting software?

Absolutely, we specialize in deep, two-way integrations tailored to retail tools. If you're using Square, Lightspeed, or Shopify for POS, and QuickBooks or Xero for accounting, our AI connects them seamlessly via secure APIs. No more manual data transfers that cause errors during busy seasons. We handle the setup, testing for scenarios like syncing bulk Mother's Day orders. This creates a unified flow, where invoice payments update inventory in real-time, preventing stock issues. It's custom-built, so it fits your exact stack without disrupting operations.

How secure is the system for sensitive financial data?

Security is paramount, especially with vendor payments involving credit info. We use enterprise-grade encryption for data in transit and at rest, compliant with standards like GDPR and PCI-DSS. Access is role-based, so only approved team members see invoices. Our custom builds avoid third-party vulnerabilities common in no-code tools. For florists, this means safe handling of international payments for imported blooms. We also include audit logs for every action, giving you peace of mind during tax time or if disputes arise with suppliers.

Can this scale if my florist business grows into more e-commerce?

Yes, our systems are designed for growth. Starting as a local shop, you might process 50 invoices monthly; as e-commerce ramps up to 500, it handles the load without hiccups. The architecture uses scalable cloud infrastructure, auto-adjusting for peaks like Valentine's online surges. We've helped florists expand by adding features like automated discount tracking for larger orders. Unlike rigid templates, ours evolves with you—adding modules for new channels while maintaining efficiency. Clients see sustained ROI as volume increases, turning automation into a competitive edge.

What's the timeline for implementation?

We keep it efficient: discovery takes 1-2 weeks, building and integration 4-6 weeks, then launch with training. Total from kickoff to live is usually 6-8 weeks, customized to your urgency. For seasonal businesses, we prioritize quick wins, like automating high-volume invoice types first. One florist went live before prom season and saw immediate savings. Our process includes milestones to ensure it aligns with your calendar, minimizing disruption while maximizing early benefits.
