Details Flowers Software

* Special Member Savings *

The Details Flowers Software platform streamlines proposals, simplifies the payment process, and ensures clients are profitable down to each arrangement for weddings and events. Growers and wholesalers also benefit with additional business from subscribing florists. SAF members who have never signed up for Details can receive a 20 percent discount on the full price monthly or annual subscription rate for the software.

Details subscribers can access from smart phones, tablets or computers — product procurement and supply purchasing can be managed “on the go.” Other Details benefits include:

• Custom printable contracts that can be created in minutes. The convenient cost tracking feature also brings dollars and cents into focus quickly and efficiently.
• Tools such as portfolio management, invoicing, payment collection, resource items and inventory items help users simplify the process of planning, securing and executing events.
• A beautiful Flower Library and secure recipe storage makes the design process less complicated and more inspiring — to customers and design teams.

Subscribers can receive quotes from connected wholesale partners thru the Details system, while completing other milestones, such as organizing confirmed dates, retainers, and deliveries.

SAF members can use invitation code SAF20 to save 20 percent on the monthly subscription rate for Details at detailsflowers.com.
