The challenge
Bloominess provides flower and plant arrangements for business clients across the Netherlands. The procurement process was largely manual: orders via email and phone, inventory management in spreadsheets, and invoicing that fell behind. With a growing client base and seasonal peaks, this workflow became unsustainable. They needed a central system to digitalise the entire journey from order to delivery.
Our solution
We developed FIPS (Floral Integrated Procurement System) — a custom-built B2B procurement portal. The platform enables clients to configure and order arrangements online, while Bloominess gets real-time visibility into orders, stock levels, and delivery scheduling. The system integrates with external suppliers for automatic price updates and availability checks. A built-in dashboard provides management reports on revenue, popular products, and client behaviour.
