B2B SaaS Platform & Floral Network

SaaS eCommerce platform for B2B, SaaS eCommerce platform for B2C, and B2B B2C marketplace software for the modern floral industry. BloomRunner unifies subscriptions, POS, CRM, delivery, florist networking, inventory, and customer engagement into one scalable digital ecosystem.

B2B SaaS Platform & Floral Network

Project Overview

This SaaS-based eCommerce marketplace and workflow automation platform was purpose-built to empower independent florists with the digital tools they need to compete in today’s experience-driven floral market. Designed as a subscription-driven, multi-vendor SaaS marketplace, the platform seamlessly integrates online storefronts, in-store POS, CRM, and mobile apps into a centralized ecosystem. It caters to both B2B and B2C floristry use cases, offering scalability, ease of use, and mobile accessibility. By enabling real-time order processing, customer engagement, and inventory management, this comprehensive SaaS platform for online selling helps florists boost sales, increase customer retention, and simplify daily operations.

Challenges

  • High Marketplace & App Store Fees

    High Marketplace & App Store Fees

    Traditional floral wire services charged substantial commissions, while mobile app marketplaces could take significant shares of subscription revenue, creating margin pressure for independent florists and subscription-based businesses.

  • Subscription Fraud Risks

    Subscription Fraud Risks

    A subscription model created financial exposure when customers could purchase expensive arrangements shortly after joining, consume disproportionate value, and cancel before the business recovered acquisition costs.

  • Performance & User Experience

    Performance & User Experience

    Emotionally engaging visual experiences depended on rich imagery and video, but heavy content could slow page performance, negatively affecting customer journeys, search responsiveness, and conversion opportunities.

  • Fragmented Operational Systems

    Fragmented Operational Systems

    CRM, POS, marketing, delivery, subscriptions, and florist networking operated across interconnected workflows, requiring a unified architecture to eliminate data silos and reduce operational bottlenecks.

  • Perishable Inventory Waste

    Perishable Inventory Waste

    Floral products have limited shelf life, making inaccurate demand forecasting particularly costly. Unpredictable purchasing patterns could leave florists with excess inventory and unnecessary product waste.

  • Complex Multi-Tenant Access

    A growing florist network required secure multi-tenant infrastructure, white-labeled storefronts, and hierarchical permissions so organizations could control access consistently across multiple operational systems.

Solution

We engineered a compliance-focused, worker-first digital solution addressing all major friction points:

B2B eCommerce SaaS Solution & B2C Commerce Ecosystem

B2B eCommerce SaaS Solution & B2C Commerce Ecosystem

BloomRunner was engineered as a B2B eCommerce SaaS solution and B2C eCommerce SaaS solution, connecting florist operations with customer commerce through a scalable .NET Core and Azure architecture. The platform integrates subscriptions, payments, delivery, CRM, POS, and networking.

Embedded Web Billing

Embedded Web Billing

An embedded webapp enables mobile customers to configure accounts and billing outside native app-store purchasing flows, allowing BloomRunner to maintain direct payment infrastructure while supporting seamless mobile experiences.

Subscription Protection

Subscription Protection

Checkout and fulfillment rules limit first-month delivery values to 1.5 times subscription costs while respecting florist-defined minimum budgets, reducing exposure to customers attempting to exploit introductory subscription pricing.

Performance-Focused UX

Performance-Focused UX

A minimalist interface replaced performance-heavy background videos and dense product grids with curated lifestyle imagery, while lazy loading and 1000ms search debouncing reduced unnecessary requests.

Microservices Architecture

Microservices Architecture

A .NET Core WebAPI microservices architecture running on Microsoft Azure uses Docker, RabbitMQ, Redis, and SQL Server to support scalable communication, caching, data management, and operational reliability.

Multi-Tenant SaaS Infrastructure

Subdomain-based company environments and CNAME routing enable white-labeled florist storefronts, while hierarchical numerical permissions ensure higher-level administrators consistently override lower-level roles across shared operational resources.

Unified Operational Ecosystem

Angular web applications and React Native mobile applications connect CRM, POS, marketing, delivery, subscriptions, and florist networking, creating a unified SaaS eCommerce platform for B2B and B2C operations.

Features

SaaS eCommerce platform for B2C capabilities power customer ordering, subscriptions, referrals, loyalty, delivery tracking, and personalized experiences, while florist-facing tools support B2B commerce, inventory, proposals, supplier management, and network-based order fulfillment.

Bloom Builder & Floral Selector

Bloom Builder & Floral Selector

An interactive ordering wizard guides customers through occasion, budget, style, color, and flower preferences while dynamically generating vector illustrations that communicate design direction without promising exact floral replicas.

Tiered Subscription Engine

Tiered Subscription Engine

Customers can select 4, 6, 12, or 24 annual deliveries with monthly, pre-delivery, or upfront payment options, plus flower-club benefits and discounts for qualifying subscription plans.

Real-Time Delivery & Driver App

Real-Time Delivery & Driver App

React Native driver workflows provide route optimization, manual route adjustments, live maps, and timestamped proof-of-delivery photos that are immediately shared with senders after successful delivery.

Florist-to-Florist Network

Florist-to-Florist Network

The multi-vendor SaaS marketplace enables florists to Wire-In and Wire-Out orders, evaluate regional zip-code coverage, and independently configure settlement percentages for collaborative fulfillment across locations.

Joint Customer Referral System

Joint Customer Referral System

Customers remain associated with their home florist, allowing that florist to automatically receive referral fees when linked customers place qualifying orders with another participating florist outside their original service area.

Dynamic Holiday Pricing

Dynamic Holiday Pricing

A zip-code-based pricing engine supports advance holiday pricing changes, progressively adjusting rates as major occasions approach and helping florists protect margins during periods of elevated demand.

In-Store iPad Kiosk & POS

Customer-facing kiosks connect phone numbers and offline purchases with CRM records, while the integrated POS uses IRIS voice alerts to notify staff about errors, orders, and incoming calls.

Florist Proposals & Recipe Costing

Wedding and event workflows manage proposals, ingredient usage, design margins, payments, and automatically generated flower and supply shopping lists, helping florists manage complex projects more systematically.

Automated CRM & Marketing

The CRM projects 12-month customer Lifetime Value, categorizes activity status, and integrates Twilio and SendGrid for automated SMS and email reminders around saved birthdays and anniversaries.

Impact Created

Reduced Transaction Costs

The embedded web billing model reduced dependence on mobile app-store purchasing flows, while the marketplace ecosystem helped florists avoid traditional wire-service commissions and retain more value from customer orders.

Faster Order Processing

Performance-focused UX, lazy loading, optimized APIs, and streamlined checkout workflows enabled staff to complete the complete order-placement process in under two minutes under the defined performance SLA.

Reduced Inventory Waste

Subscription-driven purchasing and predictive supplier ordering created a stronger demand-planning foundation, helping florists make more informed purchasing decisions and reduce exposure to historically high perishable inventory waste.

Unified SaaS Marketplace Operations

BloomRunner combined CRM, POS, marketing, delivery, subscriptions, and florist networking into one B2B B2C marketplace software ecosystem, providing businesses with connected workflows instead of fragmented standalone systems.

Stronger Customer Loyalty

A network-wide rewards system encourages repeat engagement by awarding points for baskets, floral arrangements, and subscriptions, with accumulated points redeemable toward complimentary bouquets and other customer benefits.
