Curate vs Details Flowers Comparison

I love how easy it is to compile a proposal and to insert photos of the desired products. It comes over as very professional. The main thing is it save so much time so you have opportunities to get more events!

Fonts, Creating sections for instance: Personal flowers, Ceremony flowers, Reception Flowers, Services. make some words in bold or cursive

I love the approvals, contracts and ordering. It is easy to set up and creating lovely detailed proposals is a breeze.

I wish more progress or updates had been made with payments in Canada. I gave value for money a low rating based on this as I am in Canada and not able to take payments. I also wish there was more function and information on the accounting side. If there was an integration with quickbooks online that would be amazing.

Thank you Shannon! WePay is up and running for Canada! Also check out the new collage mood board feature. Resize, drag and drop to organize, layer over or under, resize! Thanks for choosing Ularas!

It is great to use on a daily basis for proposals, ordering flowers and recipes.

Sometimes it runs a bit slow. The products or pictures do not always upload for my recipes or products.

The ease of proposal making. The library of photos and flowers. Beautiful complete proposals

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. It has been a great investment

Thank you so much!! We absolutely love that we're making a difference in Memory of Elegance!

Love the ease of totally arrangement costs once you have a solid "master list" of flowers.

The inability to integrate with Quickbooks.

Thanks for the feedback Rachel! We have a few of these pieces of functionality being built out in the next month. Clients can currently sign via their mobile device, but I'll shoot you a message to let you know!

THE PRODUCT IS HELPFUL AND EASY TO MAKE A CONTRACT. IT GIVES OUR PROPOSALS AND CONTRACTS A VERY PROFESSIONAL FEEL. ONCE WE SET UP THE TEMPLATES IT CUT OUR TIME DRAFTING CONTRACTS AND PROPOSALS SIGNIFICANTLY.

NOT TOO MUCH FUNCTIONALITY BEYOND THAT. IMPUTING FLOWERS WOULD TAKE TOO LONG ALONG WITH OTHER INVENTORY.

Hello Sunny, Thank you for your review and comments. I would love to have you attend some more training sessions with me... sounds like we have layers of functionality yet to explore! And customizing the flower library... yes, it does take some time but ultimately makes to the penny margin management possible and highly valuable. Are you using the export/import tool to minimize the data entry time? I'll email and see if we can set up some time to work through some of your concerns! And please! Anytime your experience a glitch, email me immediately! We are very responsive to client concerns and unless you tell me what's not working properly for you, I can't fix it. Please reach out anytime. I am readily available!

The pricing has really helped when ordering flowers. The response from for questions or concerns has been great.

I love the ease of use, contract integration and recipe sections. Saving recipes, exact stem counts, price integration with Mayesh....guys. If you work in the floral industry, you NEED this software. If you need help there is live customer support. It is real true support. They're very personable and kind. They know the industry; they're immersed in it, and they clearly love it. I can't say enough

If I was to nitpick, I'd love to be able to upload photos of recipes, flowers and my own hard goods.

Hey Gene! We've been so happy to have you with us and are glad we could help make life easy enough for you not to *need* as much coffee. Wanted to quickly add that you actually can upload photos of recipes (whether that's a photo of a mock up you did or an inspiration piece from Pinterest), and add your own photos to your flowers, hardgoods, and rentals, and then pull that into the proposal too. You can even use the Mayesh floral photo library to help you get started with the photos of individual flowers. :)

-Amazing tech support -Amalgamation of flowers through multiple events to prevent over-ordering -Easy to follow recipes -Individual rental and hard goods lists for each couple

Some bugs, all of which have been attended to. We got on early, so it was expected.... so it's not really a con.

Thanks Brandi! The Floral Fixx has such a sharp team of youthful designers who have helped drive the product tremendously!

I love that Curate enables us to really streamline the process from proposal to ordering flowers for weddings! It has made our quality of work improve and our profit margins too!!!!!

I don't like that the software does not notify us of past due payments. We previously used honeybook which would send us email notifications and we've had a few weddings recently where we have had to follow up after the wedding for payments because it was overlooked. As a very busy business it is a bit annoying to have to add reminders for myself to check on payments because for years I was relying on a software to do this for me but now I am having to set reminders to ensure this is not happening so that is a bit of a bummer that such a great software does not have this capability and has added more work for me. Luckily it has reduced my workload in all the other areas though so it is still definitely worth it!!!

There are so many things I love: 1. Curate allows me to give clients a professional proposal 2. It helps me keep track of each event and not get my clients mixed up! 3. If I need to change things for a client - it is easy!

It's a little hard to manage my library of flowers and remember which ones I like to use. Maybe I just don't know how to manage this correctly.

I like that everything is integrated to streamline my business processes. Being able to integrate the library of flowers into my proposals through recipe building while simultaneously creating an order list, event breakdown and cost analysis.

This software is not 100% compatible with my iPad . I work from my iPad often, but there are many glitches that I have encountered that make it impossible to complete my proposals using my iPad.

This program has saved my life as a wedding florist! Not only is it easy to use, but they get what I do and what I need. The customer service is beyond compare. I was trying to get some bids done on a holiday and had a small issue and they fixed the problem quickly. Who does that!

I love the stem counting and how easy it is to put together a recipe. The proposals are beautiful. I like the payment section too because it's pretty easy and self explanatory.

I desperately need client management for emails. I can't keep track of them so having a section where it's in the client portal including emails back and forth is imperative. Also updating the flower library would be good too since there's new things like dried flowers starting to come out.

I like how it the software and style of the proposal keeps getting more eye pleasing because I feel like what the proposal looks like matters to a bride. I also like how it does all of the math, the video tutorials, how each week I feel like there is a new feature that makes proposal faster. I love everything about it!

I wish it had a function where it would tell you how much your profit is for each wedding. So total before tax minus flowers and hardgoods and then it would show the user the profit.

What I like most about this sofware is how fast I can get a proposal to my guests. It makes pricing easy, fast, and consitant. I love that my bride can see the flowers I have choosen to use and approve everying on their own time with a computer or their mobile device.

I do not have much that I don't like about curate. The only concern would be that not all products have pictures. There are still a few items that need to have picutes added.

Curate has saved us a lot of time when it comes to order flowers for weddings since we have a place to trace recipes in advance. We love the professional look of our proposals and when we are having any issues with the program there is always someone from support on the chat so everything is quickly addressed.

I wish that we could add full sized documents instead of thumbnails. We like to make our own moodboards because we don't love the pinterest style layout and it would make our proposals look even better if clients could see a full size moodboard in the document section instead of a thumbnail. I always worry they aren't going to see the tiny image there.

All my quotes are in one spot. The customer service is always on top of it and love working with Ryan. I like that it does all of the calculations for me.

I have to input several different flowers and greenery. There is certain glitches at times with adding arrangements, payments, etc. It would be nice if it would connect to Square so they can be invoiced as well as sign their contract through the software. I feel for the price we pay that it should have these added features.

The ability to produce a recipe for my bridal bouquets. It saves a ton of time. I also love the flower library and that all my flowers are in there with their cost. Plus, it creates beautiful looking proposals that my Brides love and mobile friendly is huge! Brides love to open the proposal up right away and look on their mobile device.

It is difficult when anytime you make a change it creates a new version of the proposal. With some weddings we have 20-30 changes from the time they first meet with us to the end so it gets a bit daunting to have that many versions. Also trying to mark and item as paid and having to create a new version of the proposal.

Thanks so much Sarah! We've loved that we've been able to make things so much better for you. Totally understand the headache of clients who need so many versions of the proposals. Would love to hear if you have any ideas on how to keep up with so many changes without having to keep up with different versions reflecting them.

The shopping lists.

Wish you could click on the photos to see them full size.

Appreciate the review! Glad we're able to make your life easier. The great news is that we just recently released a new feature where the public links you can now click on the photos and they will blow up to full size!!

I love how quickly I can generate a personalized proposal to a new client. I used to spend so much time customizing a sad little template I had made in Microsoft Word and the formatting issues drove me crazy. Curate lets me focus on what I'm offering my clients while the organization, formatting, and aesthetics are all done for me.

I've had a few minor troubles getting changes saved or a photo uploaded but they've also been quickly remedied by the folks available in the chat window. I've been using this software in Safari not realizing it was designed to best function in Google Chrome - so these problems are mostly my own fault.

-good tracking system -can be accessed anywhere with an internet connection -easy to use -proposals look very professional when presented to the client -can easily be used to plan everyday and holiday designs, weddings, and special events

-duplicate items with the same name can be confusing but can be easily fixed -would be great if other wholesalers can be added in the system

Everything! I love the beautiful proposals it creates effortlessly, I love how easy it is to create recipes, and order flowers with a couple clicks of a button. It does ALL their heavy lifting for you. I can pump out a quick proposal in 15-30 minutes or spend hours on one searching for the perfect photos on Pinterest creating a visual masterpiece, but in the end, what the software does is always fast and easy. I love that they are always updating and adding more amazing features.

I use it on my iphone 99% of the time, and it works pretty good, there are some features that work better in chrome and I’d love for those features to work well in safari. I’m sure that will be coming soon

What I like the most about the software is how customizable it is to our exact needs. There seems to be limitless ways to tune it to work for you! Using Curate also gives us confidence in our pricing and value of product - this is so important especially now with price fluctuations being an enormous challenge. Using Curate ensures we are always creating our arrangements and events to value, while constantly keeping an eye on our costs.

There is a bit of a learning curve and some time investment to get it configured exactly so. I know for sure I am under-utilizing the software, just from a lack of time to work within. Some features are a little buried, and others are a little clunky. But it is the best option I have used to date.

Curate gives me the space to manage my clients from the initial design conversation all the way through the final details, all in one platform.

The design aesthetics of this platform is outdated, but it still works flawlessly.
