THE
CHALLENGE |
Florafax is a
leader in the on-line floral industry.
From the beginning of Hallmark holidays, flowers have been a common
and well received gift. Florafax
has taken this gift and enjoyed success with the internet.
The week before Mothers Day 2001, Florafax averaged 37,000
order a day.
Recently, Florafax
has been bought out by a large corporation.
They are attempting to expand what Florafax had already started.
They wanted to own everything from the farms, to the distributors in
the flower industry. A key
component for the future growth and success of this company was the use of
the internet. They needed to
reach the public in as many ways as possible and the internet was crucial
to their success.
When the new owner came in, they began to work on each
step of their corporation and tried to improve each component.
When they looked at Florafax they discovered a company that was
successful, growing and dependable. There
was no need to change a system that was already successful and making
money. The foundation for
this success was originally built on SPEED but is now TOM Software's FourD.
Their TOM System has proved to be strong and reliable and is the
backbone of Florafax's success.
