We integrate directly with your POS system, supplier portals, and accounting software to automate the entire invoice lifecycle. Capture data from emailed PDFs of tulip shipments, route approvals to your team via simple notifications, and schedule payments that sync with your cash flow. You're probably thinking, 'But what about those custom wedding orders?' We tailor the AI to recognize variable line items, flag discrepancies like missing greenery, and even predict seasonal spikes to prioritize urgent bills. This isn't just automation; it's a unified system you own, replacing subscription sprawl with efficiency that scales as your business grows.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Time Savings That Let Your Business Bloom
Save 15-20 Hours Weekly on Manual Tasks
Save 15-20 Hours Weekly on Manual Tasks: No more sifting through stacks of invoices for peony suppliers after a rush of online Mother's Day orders. Our system auto-extracts details from PDF attachments, matches them to Shopify purchase orders, and flags discrepancies—like a missing 10% volume discount—in under 5 minutes, slashing processing time by 70%. That's a direct ROI: less overtime during peak seasons like Valentine's, more focus on delighting walk-in customers with personalized bouquets or upselling subscription deliveries.
Achieve 30% Faster Month-End Closes
Achieve 30% Faster Month-End Closes: Picture this: instead of late nights reconciling bills after a busy prom season with 300+ custom arrangements, AI handles approvals and payments in real-time via integrated alerts. You gain efficiency gains that boost productivity, reducing errors by 80%—such as catching overbilled stem counts on lilies—and accelerating cash flow by 10 days, vital when you're tying up funds in perishable inventory like fresh orchids that can't wait.
Cut Costs by 25% on Administrative Overhead
Cut Costs by 25% on Administrative Overhead: You're probably thinking about those hidden fees from manual mistakes, like duplicate payments on $2,000 orchid imports from Dutch suppliers. Our custom automation eliminates them by auto-verifying against inventory logs, providing quantifiable savings of $5,000 annually for a mid-sized shop. Redirect those dollars to trend-aware investments, like stocking up on sustainable, locally-sourced blooms your eco-conscious online customers love for Earth Day promotions.
What Clients Say
""Before AIQ Labs, our little shop was drowning in invoices every spring—chasing down bills for hundreds of tulip bundles from local wholesalers took forever, especially with our twice-weekly deliveries. Now, it's all automated; we saved about 12 hours a week last season during peak cherry blossom rushes, and our accountant says errors dropped by half on order matching. It's like having an extra hand without the payroll hit, freeing us to focus on in-store workshops.""
Sarah Jenkins
Owner, Bloom Haven Florists – A boutique chain with three locations specializing in seasonal bouquets
""Wedding season used to mean invoice chaos with all the custom arrangements, like verifying peony counts for 50-table centerpieces. Their system integrated right into our QuickBooks and caught a $500 overcharge on import roses from Colombia that we would've missed entirely. We've cut processing time from 3-4 days to just 2 hours per event batch, and it's paid for itself in just two months by avoiding late fees on vendor terms.""
Mike Rivera
Operations Manager, Eternal Petals – An e-commerce florist handling 100+ weddings annually
""As a small online florist, seasonal trends like holiday gifting hit hard, but manual invoicing from email attachments was killing us during inventory turns. AIQ built something that fits our e-commerce flow perfectly—auto-pulls data from supplier emails and syncs with Shopify for real-time stock updates. Last Valentine's, we handled 40% more orders—over 1,200 bouquets—without extra admin stress; it's a game-changer for staying agile with flash sales and next-day deliveries.""

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle the variable pricing in florist invoices?
Great question—florist invoices often fluctuate with market prices for things like imported orchids. Our custom AI is trained on your historical data to recognize and categorize these variations automatically. It extracts details from unstructured PDFs or emails, matches them to your purchase orders, and flags anomalies for review. For instance, if a supplier quotes higher for seasonal demand, the system prompts for approval with context from past trends. This setup saves you from manual verification, typically cutting review time by 60%. We tailor it during the discovery phase to your specific vendors, ensuring accuracy even for one-off event pricing. Plus, it integrates with your accounting software to update costs in real-time, keeping your inventory valuations spot-on without extra effort.
Will this work with my existing florist POS system?
Absolutely, and that's where our custom approach shines. We don't force you into new tools; instead, we build integrations that plug right into systems like Lightspeed Retail or Square, common in florist shops. During setup, we map your invoice data to POS records—for example, linking a delivery invoice directly to bouquet sales. This eliminates double-entry, which we're told wastes up to 10 hours weekly for many owners. The AI handles the heavy lifting: auto-populating fields, validating against stock levels, and even suggesting categorizations like 'event supplies' versus 'daily stock.' If you're using something niche, like a floral-specific app, we engineer a bespoke connector. Result? Smoother operations, fewer errors, and more time for creative arrangements that wow your customers.
What kind of time savings can a small florist like mine expect?
Let's be real—small florists often lose precious hours to admin during peak times. With our solution, you can realistically save 15-20 hours per week on invoice tasks alone. Take a typical scenario: processing 50 supplier bills monthly manually might take 25 hours, including chasing emails and data entry. Our AI automates capture, matching, and approvals, shrinking that to under 5 hours. We've seen clients redirect that time to customer experience, like upselling add-ons during Valentine's rushes. ROI kicks in fast: if your admin costs $25/hour, that's $500+ monthly savings. We quantify this upfront in your consultation, basing it on your volume—whether you're a brick-and-mortar spot or e-commerce hybrid. It's not just savings; it's reclaiming bandwidth for what you love, like sourcing the freshest trends.
Is the system secure for handling sensitive supplier and payment data?
Security is non-negotiable, especially in retail where you're dealing with vendor contracts and payment details. We build your system with enterprise-grade encryption, compliant with standards like PCI DSS for any card-linked payments and GDPR for customer data ties. Invoices are processed in a secure cloud environment we customize for you, with role-based access so only approved team members see approvals. For florists, this means protecting info on high-value event orders without exposing it. We've audited our frameworks against common threats, and include features like audit logs to track every action—vital for resolving disputes with suppliers. Unlike off-the-shelf tools, our owned system means you control the data, not some third-party. We walk you through it in training, ensuring peace of mind as you scale.
How do you customize it for seasonal fluctuations in my business?
Seasonality is the heartbeat of floristry—think surges in spring or lulls in summer. We design your automation to anticipate this, using AI models that analyze your past invoice patterns alongside calendar events like holidays. For example, during peak times, it prioritizes high-volume suppliers (like rose farms) with faster routing and auto-reminders. In slower months, it optimizes for cost savings, scanning for early-payment discounts on stable items like greenery. The system learns from your data: after one cycle, it predicts spikes, pre-loading workflows to handle 2x volume without added staff. This isn't generic; we map it to your specifics, like wedding season in your region. Clients report 40% efficiency gains during rushes, turning potential chaos into smooth operations that keep your customer experience blooming.
What if I need to make changes after it's built?
Flexibility is key in a trend-driven industry like yours, where new suppliers or e-commerce features pop up. Our solutions are built modularly, so updates are straightforward— no starting over. Say you add a new online ordering tool; we can integrate it in days, not weeks, via our engineering access. You own the system, so changes align with your evolving needs, like adapting for sustainable sourcing invoices. We provide ongoing optimization as part of the partnership, reviewing performance quarterly to tweak AI rules based on feedback. For instance, one florist client adjusted for eco-certifications mid-year, and it took just a quick config. This keeps your ROI climbing, ensuring the automation evolves with your business rather than becoming outdated.
