Custom bouquet production app with order tickets
Appfront builds apps for florists and bouquet producers who work at volume: every order from the webshop, the wholesale channel or the shop appears on the arranger's screen as a production ticket, with the recipe, number of stems per variety, a photo of the sample and the packaging, the flowers deducted per bouquet from stock, a photo check before the bouquet goes into the trolley, and a status update that goes back to the customer and the driver. So that on a peak day such as Mother's Day, nobody has to walk along the tables with a stack of printouts counting what still needs doing.
What is an app for bouquet production with order tickets?
An app for bouquet production turns every order into a production ticket for the arranger: which bouquet, which recipe with the number of stems per variety and colour, which packaging and which card, with a photo of how it should look. The arranger picks up the next ticket on the screen at their table, arranges the bouquet, takes a check photo and marks it ready. The flowers in the recipe are deducted from stock, and the status goes to the customer and to the delivery schedule.
Without such an app, on a peak day the printer churns out three hundred tickets that someone sorts by delivery route and hands out across the tables. An arranger picks up a ticket from the wrong pile, a bouquet gets made twice because the ticket went missing, and by mid-morning the pink roses have run out while forty tickets are asking for them. What was actually used is estimated the following day.
We build custom solutions because the app has to fit how you work: which webshop and point-of-sale system you use, how your recipes are structured, whether you work with fixed bouquets or seasonal recipes, how you buy from the auction or the wholesaler, and who handles delivery. A point-of-sale system knows an order, but not a table, an arranger or a stem.
Order ticket with recipe
For each order: the bouquet, the recipe with stems per variety, the packaging, the card and the photo of the sample, shown on the screen at the table in order of delivery time.
Allocation and progress
Orders divided across arrangers and tables, the next ticket per arranger, and an overview of what is ready, what is in production and what is falling behind the delivery time.
Usage and control
Flowers and materials deducted from stock per bouquet, a shortage flagged before the ticket comes up, and a check photo per bouquet before it goes into the trolley.
How we build your app for bouquet production with order tickets
We start with your last peak day: how many orders, how many arrangers, how the tickets were distributed and where things went wrong. The app follows from that.
Which channels orders come through, how recipes are structured, how the tables and arrangers work, how you buy stock and who handles delivery.
The bouquets with recipes per size and season, the packaging and cards, and the flowers and materials as you actually purchase them.
The order ticket on the screen, the distribution across arrangers, the deduction per bouquet, the check photo and the status update to the customer.
The integration with the webshop, the till system, purchasing and delivery scheduling, followed by ongoing management and preparation for the next peak.
What an app for bouquet production with order tickets actually does
The components below come up with almost every bouquet producer. Which ones you need depends on your channels and on how many arrangers work at the same time.
Order ticket on screen
Bouquet, recipe, packaging, card and reference photo for each order, sorted by delivery time and route.
Recipes per bouquet
The number of stems per type for each bouquet and size, with seasonal variations and substitutions when a flower runs out.
Allocation across arrangers
Orders assigned per arranger or table, the next ticket automatically, and each arranger's pace shown on the overview.
Stock deduction per bouquet
Flowers and materials from the recipe are deducted from stock when an order is marked ready, with a shortage flagged before it becomes visible at the table.
Quality check photo
A photo of each bouquet when marked ready, compared with the reference, serving as evidence for a complaint and as feedback for the arranger.
Status updates for customers and drivers
Ready, in the van, on its way: the status of each order is passed on to the webshop, the customer and the delivery schedule.
Who we build a bouquet production app with order tickets for
The app is intended for businesses that make bouquets in volume and where, on peak days, the printed tickets and the head florist's overview currently run the show.
Florists with a webshop
Shop and webshop side by side, with peak days around public holidays. The order ticket on screen and the status update to the customer are at the core.
Bouquet producers for retail
Large volumes of the same bouquet for supermarkets. Recipes, stock deduction per bouquet and each arranger's pace matter most.
Subscriptions and delivery services
Weekly bouquets for regular customers, with the delivery route as the guide. Sorting by route and integration with delivery are what's needed.
Florists with multiple branches
Central production for several shops. Allocation per branch and the daily overview are at the core.

Why choose Appfront for your bouquet production app with order tickets?
A bouquet is only as good as the ticket the arranger has in front of them. That is what we build on: one ticket per order, on screen, with everything the arranger needs and nothing they have to search for.
The ticket no longer ends up on the wrong pile
Every order appears once on screen, at the arranger making it. Duplicates or forgotten orders no longer happen.
Shortages are known before the table
The recipe deducts stock each time an order is marked ready. If a flower runs out, you see it at ticket thirty, not at ticket two hundred.
The photo is the evidence
A photo next to the reference is taken each time an order is marked ready. If there is a complaint, you know exactly what left the door.
Security and privacy for a bouquet production app with order tickets
The app handles customer details, addresses, card messages and your customers' orders, as well as your recipes and purchase prices. Access is set by role: the arranger sees the ticket without customer details they do not need, the head florist sees the overview and recipes, and administration sees purchasing and usage. Card messages and addresses are not kept longer after delivery than necessary for a complaint or return.
The app runs in a European data centre, with encrypted storage and daily backups. Integrations with the webshop, the till system and delivery scheduling use their own keys, which can be revoked per integration.
Frequently asked questions about a bouquet production app with order tickets
Questions florists and bouquet producers ask before getting started.
It turns every order from the webshop, shop or wholesaler into a order ticket on the florist's screen, with recipe, quantities, packaging, card and reference photo. It distributes the tickets across arrangers in order of delivery time, deducts flowers per bouquet from stock, records a check photo, and sends the status to the customer and the delivery schedule.
You record for each bouquet and size which varieties and how many stems go into it, with seasonal variants and permitted substitutions. You enter a new seasonal bouquet once; every ticket uses it from then on. A deviation, such as a different colour, is noted as a deviation on the ticket.
The app deducts from purchased stock per finished bouquet and works out in advance what the open tickets still need. As soon as that exceeds the stock, the head florist receives an alert with the orders affected, and can substitute according to the recipe or reorder before the work stalls.
That's what it's built for. Each arranger sees only their next ticket, the head florist sees the pace and backlog per station, and orders can be reassigned if a station falls behind. There's no printed stack that gets lost.
Yes. Webshop, till, phone and wholesale orders appear in one list with the source shown, each with its own rules for delivery time, packaging and card. Production works from a single sequence.
Yes. Orders come in from the webshop and the till, the status flows back, and usage can feed into your purchasing. We connect to what you already use; the app doesn't become a second webshop or a second till.
Check that first. A webshop or till can print orders and track a status, and that's enough with one or two arrangers and a peak you can manage. Custom development makes sense when several arrangers work at once, when recipes and usage per bouquet need tracking, when orders from multiple channels must follow one sequence, or when delivery has to wait on production.
