The right system to support growing demands

While Shropshire Petals’ business model may look traditional, the reality is far more complex. Customers can choose from more than 275,000 different confetti options on the company’s website, and to add to this  complexity, 5%-10% of Shropshire Petals’ orders go abroad where specific shipping and importation rules of plant-related matter apply. 

We wanted to expand the business and bring in more orders from various other sales channels; but that wasn’t possible with the system we were currently using.

An all-in-one bespoke solution

Sage Partner Qmulus provided Shropshire Petals with a bespoke solution that incorporated Sage 200, along with a Sage CRM system and full website integration. This immediately sped up and optimised multiple admin processes, while giving Shropshire Petals a 24/7 real-time version of the truth that covers stock, orders and cashflow. 

For us, the key was to have a solution that would enable our orders to be integrated automatically.

Big time and cost savings

Implementing the Sage-based system removed the need for Shropshire Petals to recruit more staff to process orders, saving around 70 hours of work and associated costs per week. Not only that, but the integrated live stock system removed the team’s previous headaches and cut stocktakes from monthly to bi-annual, saving 320 hours of work per year.

Without Sage, it would be impossible to be where we are now.
