What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our boutique was swamped with paper invoices from our Ecuadorian rose supplier every spring wedding season. Now, the automation extracts details and syncs straight to our WooCommerce store in under 10 minutes. We saved 12 hours a week last peak, dropped errors to zero, and nailed those trending pastel arrangements without any stockouts—total game-changer for our online sales."

Slashed accounting costs by 25% in the first quarter, and now my team crafts personalized subscription bouquets instead of drowning in paperwork—our customer retention jumped 15%."

Since rollout three months ago, we've saved 18 hours weekly, avoided any out-of-stock notices, and pivoted quicker to viral TikTok-inspired bundles—billing woes are history."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle the variability in floral supplier invoices?
Florist invoices can be all over the place—some digital, others PDFs with quirky layouts from international wholesalers. Our custom AI is trained on your specific examples, using optical character recognition and machine learning to extract details like quantities of roses or delivery dates accurately, even from messy scans. We start by analyzing a batch of your real invoices during discovery, then build rules that adapt over time. This means no more manual re-entry during busy seasons; it learns patterns, like how your local grower formats totals differently. Clients see 95% accuracy right away, with tweaks for edge cases. Ultimately, it saves you hours while keeping your cash flow tight for timely reorders.
Will this integrate with my existing e-commerce and POS systems?
Absolutely, and that's where we shine. For a florist like yours, we create deep, custom integrations with platforms like Shopify, Square, or WooCommerce, plus POS systems such as Lightspeed Retail. No superficial links that break—our engineers build secure APIs that sync invoice data directly to your orders and inventory in real-time. Imagine an online bouquet sale triggering automatic expense matching for the stems you bought. We map it all to your workflow, ensuring compliance with retail standards. Setup takes about 4-6 weeks, and we've done this for similar shops, reducing sync errors by 100%. It's built to own, so you're not locked into vendor dependencies.
What kind of ROI can I expect as a small florist?
You're probably thinking about the bottom line, and rightly so. For a typical florist processing 50-100 invoices monthly, our automation delivers ROI in 3-6 months. Expect to save 10-20 hours weekly on manual tasks, translating to $5,000-$10,000 annual cost reductions at average admin rates. During peaks like Valentine's, that's even more—fewer errors mean no overpayments on bulk lilies, and faster processing frees staff for sales that boost revenue by 15-20%. We track this with built-in metrics, and one client hit 35% savings in their first year by automating approvals. It's not hype; it's quantifiable, tailored to your scale, with no ongoing fees eating into margins.
How do you ensure it's secure for my business data?
Security is non-negotiable in retail, especially with customer-linked orders. We use enterprise-grade encryption for all data in transit and at rest, compliant with PCI DSS for any payment ties and GDPR for e-commerce. Your invoices are processed in a private cloud instance we build just for you—no shared servers. Access controls mean only authorized team members see approvals, with audit logs for every action. We've hardened our systems against common threats, drawing from our SaaS experience. For florists, this protects sensitive details like vendor pricing that could leak trends. Post-launch, we provide training and monitor for issues, ensuring peace of mind as you focus on customer experiences.
Can this scale if my florist shop grows into more online sales?
Yes, scalability is baked in from the start. As your e-commerce blooms—say, expanding to nationwide delivery—we design the AI to handle increased volume without performance dips. It auto-scales resources during peaks, processing thousands of invoices if needed, while integrating new channels like Etsy or Amazon. We've built for shops that doubled sales post-implementation, adjusting workflows on the fly for added suppliers. No need to rebuild; it's modular, so adding features like predictive budgeting for seasonal trends is straightforward. Clients report it grows with them, maintaining that 15+ hour savings even as operations expand, keeping your productivity high.
What if I already use invoicing software—do I need to switch?
No switching required; we enhance what you have. If you're on something like Xero or FreshBooks, our custom AI layers on top, automating capture and feeding clean data directly in. For florists, this means pulling from email or uploads and pushing to your system with custom fields for things like 'event floral costs.' We avoid 'subscription chaos' by owning the automation layer ourselves, so you control it without juggling more logins. Implementation involves minimal disruption—usually a weekend test—and we've migrated data smoothly for similar retail setups. The result? Your existing tools work better, with 40% faster month-end closes and no learning curve for your team.
