We are pleased to announce that FloristWare Version 1.8 is now available for download.

This release features enhancements which make FloristWare more powerful and faster to use while adding and increasing the effectiveness of it’s marketing features.

One very powerful feature allows florists process all major credit cards and US debit cards from within the program. You no longer need to process them using a separate POS credit card terminal. This saves you time and money and you can almost certainly stay with your existing merchant services provider.

Version 1.8 also allows you to print two different types of statements for your accounts. The first is a summary that shows a list of sales and invoice numbers. This version is typically used by florists who make a habit of sending or including the invoice for each individual sale. The second type of statement shows the details of each order placed and item purchased. This is generally used by stores that do not send or include invoices. Both types of statements now include a "Please Return" slip on the bottom of the front page to help make it easier for the customer to remit payment and for you to organize the checks you receive.

The new "Fast Add" button was added to simplify and speed the product selection process. It allows the user to add a simple product directly to the sale without having to review the product details first. This really saves time when ringing up multiple simple sale items, or adding multiple items to orders.

FloristWare always did a great job of keeping track of "Reminders" - special events like birthdays and anniversaries that your customers want to be reminded about, and helping you notify customers by phone and/or e-mail. Version 1.8 also allows you to generate personalized Reminder postcards as well with just a few clicks. You can also generate personalized postcards for each person on any marketing lists that you create.

Anyone who has been thinking about trying FloristWare or who has been experimenting with our previous demo version should really give FloristWare 1.8 a try.
