Considered Both Products
FloristWare
Chose FloristWare
I personally used both Dove and Mercury POS - each has its good and bad sides. Comparing FloristWare with these two - I would say that I get more bang for a buck with FloristWare. One of the large selling points for FloristWare compared with other two, was "no strings attached" …
Chose FloristWare
I evaluated at least 5 other options that are popular as a florist POS, I selected FloristWare because all the rest made you invest in their equipment, buy the software and pay additional support fees in the event you have endless issues. FloristWare is one low fee, per month …
OneSignal
Chose OneSignal
OneSignal comes with a free plan and easy integration, unlike CleverTap which has a starting price of $200 per month and a difficult integration process. That is why we selected OneSignal instead of CleverTap.
Chose OneSignal
I believe OneSignal is an all around better platform than Push Owl. I am very happy we made the migration from Push Owl to OneSignal.
Chose OneSignal
In my opinion, OneSignal documentation / API is more friendly [than] Firebase. Maybe because Firebase is already "too big," but OneSignal is focused on one solution that giving our notification through to our customer. In that case, OneSignal is chosen by our company. Several …
Chose OneSignal
Look Firebase is a complete platform that includes a Push notification/InApp space. We had a lot of troubles while implementing Firebase: sometimes we thought it was ready until we tried to attach an image for Push notifications. This being said, the developers had to review …
Chose OneSignal
OneSignal is the one that has more integrations with plugins, external API and that is completely free and easy to install. They have a very good UI with many options and they will never ask for money to use this service. You can have unlimited subscribers and you can send …
Chose OneSignal
OneSignal is much more user-friendly, is free to use, and integrates with many more services. After the great redesign of OneSignal, it has become even better: easy localizations of the push, A/B tests and templates work great. Besides, there are a number of parameters you can …

I am not aware of any types of floral businesses, or situations, where Floristware wouldn't be an appropriate choice.

I think One Signal is very well suited for mobile app owners who want to be in touch with their user base more easily by sending push notifications and in-app messages. I'm not sure how well that works for SMS messaging as I haven't yet tried it. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it if your in-apps are very rare.

Cons
  • The only thing that I would prefer FloristWare had that it doesn't currently is a one page order entry, but with the endless features it does provide it is just a tiny nuisance.

  • They should develop features a bit faster as per user requirements.
  • Old users should get freemium model for new features.
  • Admin can look a bit better.
  • In-built and easy to use segmentation should be there too.

Usability
I give FloristWare a rating of 10 for usability because I have never had an ounce if difficulty with any of its functions or features.
Read full review
I give an 8 in this question mainly for 2 reasons: the products even if they look like complete and are highly customizable and usable, they are still missing some logical features. For example, send messages to a list of users - now days you can do it with postman and get calls. A second example is App messaging that is still in development and has many opportunities.

Their customer support has been top-notch. They are able to assist you in getting through any problems that you may have and respond in a very timely manner. I've dealt with them on 4-5 instances over the years and my issues were always resolved within a matter of a few business days.

I evaluated at least 5 other options that are popular as a florist POS, I selected FloristWare because all the rest made you invest in their equipment, buy the software and pay additional support fees in the event you have endless issues. FloristWare is one low fee, per month or year. You use your own preferred computer and there are no additional charges in the event that you run into any kind of glitches along the way.

Look Firebase is a complete platform that includes a Push notification/InApp space. We had a lot of troubles while implementing Firebase: sometimes we thought it was ready until we tried to attach an image for Push notifications. This being said, the developers had to review the integration several times until we decided to change to OneSignal. Also while using Firebase I was not convinced with the look and feel of the Notifications. My vote here is OneSignal.
