Perishable Stock Control for Florist Shops
Florist inventory management tracks stems, bunches and sundries by receipt date across shops. Ageing lists show which lots must be used soon, and reorder levels drive purchase orders to suppliers.
Stock measured in days
Oldest lot first
Staff making a bouquet tend to reach for the freshest bucket, because it looks the freshest. The picking list names the lot to take instead, usually the oldest one that still qualifies. Older lots get used before write-off.
Before the next van arrives
- What is in the cold room, by flower and by age
- What was written off this week, and which flower it keeps being
- Stock at the second shop, before buying twice
- A purchase order to the supplier for what is short
Days counted, condition not judged
Two lots of the same age can differ with heat, water and transport, and the record cannot see that. It shows the age, and the person at the bench judges the flower. The system identifies lots. It does not grade freshness.
Frequently asked questions
Does it handle stock across two shops?
Yes. Each shop’s stock is held separately and read together, so flowers sitting in the other branch are visible before you reorder. Transfers between shops are recorded as they happen.
Will it tell us how much to buy for Valentine’s week?
No. It shows what sold last year, on which day, and what was written off afterwards. The quantity to buy stays a decision for the owner.
Do we have to count everything every day?
No. Receipts and sales move the balance on their own. A weekly physical count on the fast-moving flowers keeps the record aligned with the cold room.
Can we track gift items and hampers too?
Yes. Chocolates, vases, soft toys and hampers carry their own expiry or shelf life. They sit in the same list as the flowers.
