Customers may need a bouquet in the evening, early morning, or when the flower shop is temporarily closed. Even when a florist has high-quality flowers available, limited opening hours can mean missed sales opportunities.
To make fresh flower products available for longer hours, a Greek florist installed our flower vending machine directly outside their shop, creating a convenient self-service sales channel without requiring additional staff.
This locker vending machine is suitable for:
Fresh flowers require suitable storage conditions to maintain their appearance and quality.
The flower vending machine provides 3–20°C refrigerated storage, creating a controlled environment for bouquet and other fresh flower products.
Unsold flower products may lose their freshness over time, making inventory management especially important for florists.
The system can track product shelf life and identify products approaching their recommended selling period. Operators can apply near-expiry discounts to encourage faster sales and reduce potential inventory waste.
Customers may have different reasons for buying flowers, such as gifts for a partner, parents, friends, or other occasions.
The locker vending machine can organize products into clear categories based on recipient or gifting purpose, helping customers quickly find a suitable bouquet.
The touchscreen can display flower images, bouquet styles, prices, flower varieties, and other relevant product information.
Providing detailed information helps customers understand the flower products before making a purchase, even when the florist shop is closed.
