What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we'd scramble every Mother's Day with overstocked lilies going to waste after our online orders flooded in unpredictably. Their custom forecasting, integrated with our BigCommerce platform, cut our spoilage by 40% last year, and the chatbot now handles half our delivery queries—gave us back 15 hours a week for actual arranging and upselling bouquet add-ons."
Sarah Jenkins
Owner, Bloom Haven Florists (Online and In-Store Retail Chain)
"Integrating our Etsy shop with the AI system was a game-changer for our flash sale events. No more double-entry for orders syncing with our POS, and personalized emails based on customer history increased our upsells by 22% in just three months—perfect for our quirky seasonal rushes like back-to-school corsages."
Mike Rivera
E-commerce Operations Manager, Petal Pushers Online Boutique

AIQ's solution predicts stock needs accurately using real-time data, saving us $2,500 in wasted flowers quarterly.

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does custom AI handle the perishable nature of flowers?
Flowers aren't like widgets—they wilt fast, so we build AI models that factor in shelf life, weather impacts, and your sales velocity. For instance, it predicts how many orchids you'll need for a weekend rush, alerting you to reorder or discount before waste. We've seen florists reduce spoilage by 30-50% this way, integrating directly with your cooler trackers or POS. It's all custom-coded to your setup, not a rigid template, so it adapts to your unique stock like imported exotics versus local wildflowers. Setup takes 4-6 weeks, with ongoing tweaks for accuracy.
Can this integrate with my existing e-commerce platform like Shopify?
Absolutely, we specialize in deep, two-way integrations that make your Shopify store talk seamlessly to inventory and CRM systems. No more manual syncs for online orders—AI auto-updates stock levels in real-time, preventing oversells during promotions. For a florist we worked with, this cut fulfillment errors by 60%, especially for same-day deliveries. We use secure APIs to ensure it's robust, scalable for traffic spikes like Valentine's, and fully owned by you. If you have custom apps, we map them in during discovery—no superficial connections that break.
What about personalizing recommendations for customers?
We create AI that analyzes past purchases—like if someone bought tulips for a birthday—and suggests matching add-ons, such as vases or cards, in emails or on your site. It's hyper-targeted, boosting conversions by 25% on average for our retail clients. Unlike generic tools, ours trains on your data for florist specifics, like seasonal allergies or event types. Implementation involves uploading customer histories securely, then testing with A/B scenarios. You're in control, and it evolves with trends, like promoting sustainable blooms if that's your niche.
How much does a custom AI solution cost for a small florist shop?
Costs vary by scope, but for a typical small florist (under 10 employees), we start at $15,000-$25,000 for a core workflow like inventory forecasting and chat support—far less than ongoing subscriptions that add up to $10K yearly. It's a one-time build with optional maintenance at $500/month. We focus on ROI: one client recouped costs in four months via reduced waste and higher sales. We provide a detailed quote after discovery, tailored to your needs—no hidden fees, and financing options available for SMBs.
Is the AI secure for handling customer delivery data?
Security is non-negotiable, especially with addresses and payment details. We use enterprise-grade encryption, comply with GDPR and PCI standards, and build in access controls so only your team sees sensitive info. For florists, this means safe handling of delivery routes without breaches during busy seasons. Our systems include audit logs and regular updates to counter threats. A partner shop reported zero incidents post-implementation, unlike their old setup with multiple logins. We audit everything during build and offer ongoing monitoring.
How long until I see results from the custom AI?
Quick wins come fast: basic automations like chatbots launch in 2-4 weeks, showing immediate query reductions. Full systems, including forecasting, take 6-8 weeks to deploy and fine-tune with your data. One florist saw 20% efficiency gains in the first month for order processing. We prioritize phased rollouts—start with high-impact areas like seasonal prep—ensuring minimal disruption. Post-launch, we optimize based on your metrics, like delivery success rates, to hit 40%+ improvements within quarters.
