Overview
The Flower Rental Co. is a premium floral subscription business providing real-touch, zero-maintenance flower arrangements for homes and commercial spaces. Although their business was rapidly expanding, most of their operations still depended heavily on spreadsheets and manual coordination.
“Subscription renewals, invoices, deliveries — everything is still manual. We need complete automation.”

Challenge
Renewal dates, pause requests, upgrades, and cancellations were all tracked in spreadsheets, making operations slow and error-prone.

Inconsistent InvoicingMonthly, quarterly, and annual subscription invoices were generated manually, often resulting in errors.
Complex Coupon & Discount ManagementSeasonal promo codes, offers, and franchise-level discounts were difficult to manage and track.
Lack of Centralized DashboardsLeadership had no real-time visibility into key metrics such as revenue, churn, active vs. paused subscriptions, or delivery workload.
