Curate

Vorteile

I really like that this software is specifically built for the industry I practice. I have tried other programs that do not quite understand the specifics needed within my software to create successful proposals.

Nachteile

There are some learning curves but ones that the customer service are very responsive to. I would like to see an increase in the ability to tokenize particular texts for contracts such at "today's date", event's "total", "deposit" and the ability to adjust the deposit as a percentage or by dollar amount, and the ability to adjust the payment due date to reflect the customer's version so that they know when their next payment is.
I would also greatly appreciate the ability to have email correspondence and google calendar to sync with my events so that I am not having to go back and forth with two to three different programs to stay organized.

Vorteile

Curate does all the things I need it to do to be able to do my job in the most organized way. It allows me to provide a detailed, easy-to-read proposal to my clients, while maintaining our pricing structure and profit margins. The ability to have multiple recipes within one line item so I can divide out the florals from the candles and click the photos easily into the line item is amazing. The drag and drop feature for the media gallery and mood board area also cannot be overstated how easy that is!

Nachteile

Probably the price, but I do understand pricing to have a great product, which you have.

Vorteile

The software is fairly easy to navigate but not progressing to improve usability.

Nachteile

Go on their website and try to contact them. You can only schedule or sign up to spend money but if there is a problem there is no way to contact. I tried to cancel use of the product, I have no contract and they just continue to charge my card month after month. Finally a call and they said it automatically renews for a year without any communication or contract - what??? Only desperate and unethical people run a company like this - BEWARE

Vorteile

It made my proposals personal to the bride and very professional , easy for brides to see we understand their vision. .

Nachteile

I know There is more to the program that I’m not using .

Vorteile

"Curate has been more than just a software provider for me; they have become a source of constant support and reassurance. The customer experience team, from the initial onboarding process to the ongoing refresher training sessions, has consistently exceeded my expectations. Their approachability and willingness to address any queries or feedback have made me feel truly valued as a client. Unlike some companies, Curate does not remain static in its policies and procedures; they actively seek to adapt and improve to better serve their clients' evolving needs. It's reassuring to know that they prioritize customer satisfaction and are dedicated to growing alongside their clients."

Nachteile

Generating a mood board before presenting pricing to clients would be incredibly valuable! While there is a limited mood board and color scheme included in the proposals, having the ability to create standalone mood boards before receiving final quantities from clients would greatly facilitate the initial client discussions. The challenges of incorporating recipes and verifying product availability from wholesalers can be cumbersome tasks that delay the proposal creation process, potentially resulting in clients choosing other florists who offer quicker responses.

Vorteile

Curate had an attractive and professional UI that made our previous software obsolete.

Nachteile

The fact that they charge you per inquiry/file you create. I was paying $3400 a year for their service, and you get a limited amount of inquiries with your subscription, I believe it was 200 new inquiries. Even if you have to decline the inquiry, it counts towards your quota. So, as a caterer with a busy summer, I could get 10 inquiries for 1 day and only be able to accept 2 of them, but now I've used 1/20th of my annual count for a single day's worth of inquiries. Want to add more? It's going to cost you $200 more for 100 more slots. I moved to honeybook, and pay 1/10 of the annual price for unlimited inquiries. Shame on you, Curate.

Vorteile

Curate not only streamlined the many processes we used to book clients, but it did so with a beautiful, sophistical, and professional presentation. Before Curate, writing and customizing proposals, chasing down clients to sign pdf contracts, and collecting and processing payment were three completely separate systems - and they ate up so much time. Having one clickable button for each entire event was so organized and streamlined. Using this software really elevated the look and feel of my business. I can't pick a single favorite thing about it... but maybe it's the time saving bit.

Nachteile

I always wished I could add an additional fill-in section to the contract so I could collect clients's credit card info to keep on file. The software does let you create a form to do this but it is sent separately, so clients would easily "forget" to fill that out. If it was part of the contract and had to be completed to be submitted, we could keep that info as a backup plan for those more "easy-going" clients.

Vorteile

Love how they are constantly updating and making their program even easier to use! Their customer support is outstanding!

Nachteile

There is nothing I do not love about Curate.

Vorteile

So easy to use.
Helps save us time and money.
[sensitive content hidden] was amazing on our call today! So helpful!

Nachteile

A little expensive.
Wish it could be a little less expensive.

Vorteile

Thank you Curate team for being so fabulous as you support all of our small businesses and help with ALLLL the questions!

Nachteile

Pricing is a little high for the very sporadic use we do. I would LOVE it if we could pay for a "1-6" per year just to crank out that handful, because by the time we pay the full use for the full year, it really isn't cost-effective to do so few, and we run other businesses, that don't allow us much extra time to work on more than a couple a year at this phase of life. That is why [sensitive content hidden] was so kind as to migrate us over to the new version just to "pause" so our data won't be lost when we can resume doing a couple a year in normal operational years.

Vorteile

Curate is all encompassing and has everything you need from start to finish. I use it to create proposals and forms, accept payments and contracts, create recipes, keep track of flower orders, etc. It's great to have everything in one place and have everything organized.

Nachteile

Curate is amazing, but it is a little pricier than I would like to invest. It has a lot of features, but maybe too many for what I was needing.

Vorteile

It helps me be more organized and efficient. This saves me time … and time is money!

Nachteile

It takes time to get all your inventory loaded and personalize the look.

Vorteile

I love how easy it is to use photos so our wedding clients can be confident in their decisions, even without knowing floral jargon! We work with many clients who are planning their celebrations from a distance and this software allows them to be more excited about their choices and selections, even if the haven't seen them in person yet.

Nachteile

The printing options could be more efficient so they don't take up so much paper.

Ease of use and functionality.

Vorteile

Able to integrate things, able to add our pictures, able to use templates

Nachteile

usually easy things can sometimes be too complicated to use, like deleting an item, adding a discount, figuring out refunds

Vorteile

I love this software a lot, and so do my customers! I have been doing this for years and I don't know how I ever did it without Curate! It's so easy for me to use and put together proposals. I also love how I can update and send it again with changes, but still go back and see past versions so if I make a mistake it is easy to fix. Its seriously an amazing system I love how customizable it is and I would definitely recommend it.

Nachteile

The only thing I could complain about is that the site sometimes take a bit of time to load pictures and pages. Its not horrible but it can be a bit annoying sometimes.

Vorteile

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!!!!!

Nachteile

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!!!

Vorteile

I have tried a number of different software and at first Bloomtrac seemed intimidating. There is a learning​ curve with all of these products but [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] was incredibly responsive and helped me get up and running as quickly as possible. When I left Curate, I knew​ I would have to rewrite all of my proposals in Bloomtrac. What I hadn't anticipated-and hadn't been informed of, was that the proposals I had emailed to clients and to myself would disappear. Fortunately I had printed everything . One​ of the many things I love about Bloomtrac is the ability to truly customize the look of my proposals. This hadn't been possible with Curate.

Nachteile

I am a slow learner when it comes to technology and there is a lot to learn here- with new features on the horizon as well. Looking forward to being​ able to take the time now that wedding season is slowing down to really get a grasp on all that this software has to offer.

Vorteile

I LOVE how user friendly this software is, and anything that I haven't been able to figure out on my own the 'chat' option is fantastic. I think the longest i have waited to chat with an actual person was 5 minutes.. MAX. Every single person i have dealt with has been an absolute breeze to work with. (Big shoutout to [SENSITIVE CONTENT] ! She was my first contact with curate and talking with her never felt sales-pitchy or pushy. She had an answer for every question and answered it quickly and confidently.)

Nachteile

When i drag and drop a photo into a section I wish i could pick up the photo and move it rather than having to hit the left or right arrow. I like to show the florals I'm using and i like having them in color order. As an example, if im doing an event that wants all colors of the rainbow, and I accidentally forget an orange flower that is in the proposal when im already on purple it takes an unnecessary amount of time to rearrange the photos. If it were set up like the 'Inspiration' photo section this software would be even more exemplary than it is!

Vorteile

I liked the concept and features and how we setup items

Nachteile

They choose to take away a feature that was part of why I signedup and make it it a upgraded feature I had to pay more for - bait and switch so I left.

Vorteile

This software has changed my life as an event floral designer. I can not say enough great things about it. It saves me hours of work at the computer! Prior to using Ularas I did everything by hand - designs, crunching numbers, you name it. Mistakes were made and now with Ularas I never have that problem. I think my clients are impressed with the overall look and feel of the proposals we provide to them and in turn we book more events. The personal customer service, our rep and her team behind Ularas provides, is outstanding. I can't imagine any other software owner taking any given moment out of their day to help you with whatever you need and personally walk to you through how to work the software. The Ularas team is always listening to my suggestions and feedback and working hard to continue to make the software fit my personal preferences and needs. As long as I'm in the floral design field I plan to be a Ularian for life! ~Treasured Blossoms

Vorteile

The ability to quickly generate recipes that are easy to follow.

Nachteile

That there is a few for even the bank transfer payment option. It makes me outsource payments to quickbooks.

Vorteile

The ease of use, intuitiveness, beauty of the output, ability to write notes for the "front of the house"... i.e. the client" and "back of the house"... i.e. our staff, organizational capabilities and price are all on point. the founder, has been invaluable and more helpful than I can say. She helps trouble shoot, is responsive, takes constructive criticism and implements it, and is open to feedback. She also is authentic, relatable, and has a great sense of witticism. Love the program, love the support and would never go back.

Nachteile

There are a few tweaks that could make it easier to add groom or MOB or other clients and timing. Its also so comprehensive that I haven't had a chance to really delve in and push it to the limits (not a bad thing). I just have other more pressing issues.

Vorteile

I am not a computer techie person. I'm an artist (florist). Curate has been a great assistant . The more I ask questions and they answer them so quickly, the more I use the software. Customer service is so great. They walk me through every area I don't understand and make sure I do understand it. I sometime ask the same questions later in the year & they are just fine with that. I can check my questions from before to help me remember the hows.

Nachteile

There are no " least's" with this software. It meets my needs & more.

Vorteile

I absolutely love this software!
It's an all in one tool... customers review, approve and pay! It also allows me to create invoices so billing is really easy. I create invoices in advance. Meaning when a Customers approves the contract I create their invoices with payment due dates and options of how to make a payment. So billing is seamless.
I love the recipe tool. It's so easy to utilize when creating a design and it saves time when building the same or similar design.
Tell us about your wedding is an option for New Customers to enter their contact information and tell us about the vision for their event or wedding. Talk about time savior!!
The number one reason to purchase this solftware is the Ulara's Customer Service is amazing!! They go above and beyond to set it up and always willing to help.

Vorteile

i like that i can save recipes,shopping lists,exact stem counts,the price integration part and also that i can streamline my business.Love saving the recipes, shopping lists and ability to streamline my business.

Nachteile

Trying to mark an item as paid is a bit difficult and also the fact that it creates a new version of the proposal every time i make a change is frustrating because i can have up to 20 changes to make and having that many versions of changes can be a bit confusing.

Vorteile

Curate turned profit from a guessing game into a guarantee. The peace of mind that comes from knowing I'm pricing my services correctly was a game changer for my business. All the time I get questions from other professionals wondering how I price or what I would price a design as. It doesn't have to be a guessing game when you can create your own recipes based on accurate market floral prices. The system allows you to set your markups and labor percentage so every recipe accurately tells you what you need to charge. Additionally, the organization curate brings to handling a client from inquiry to event date is unmatched. Curate is my hub AND the clients hub to see everything they need. Pre-drafted emails are ready to go out. Quote templates with all my standard pricing are ready to go. Stems are counted in seconds once I need to order.

Nachteile

I wish the templates were a bit more customizable.

We're long time users of Curate (and have tried out several of the competitors), and have always been big fans of the platform. Curate is easy and intuitive to use, both for the florist and for the client. We appreciate the ease with which we can create a proposal and the flexibility to make customizations. Curate has a polished look that sets us apart from our competitors. In fact, we consistently hear from clients that our proposals just looked better than our competitors.

Nachteile

A couple of ideas:1) delete the pre loaded mayesh product. The stock images aren't great, and the pricing is incorrect for our market. 2) would love a more corporate looking template. Cleaner font, more minimalist design. 3) I would L-O-V-E an e-commerce arm of curate. Currently we use floranext for e-commerce. For florists who do events and retail, it's clunky to have 2 different platforms. 4) Would love a curate ap...especially for our breakdown crews to check in inventory.

curate is easier to use, and I liked the recipe writing.

Vorteile

We have loved Curate for the 6+ years we have used it, but just recently have begun digging deeper into features and seeking assistance from the great team in support. They have helped us open up many new functions and features. They are really awesome. AND SO SO timely in their response times.

Nachteile

We struggled to intuitively discern some functionality. The team was helpful. I don't know how to make it better myself. But there were a few things we would have loved to have just worked it out without calling in.

Vorteile

Our team uses Curate every single day to manage our events. It makes our workflow so streamlined and organized. I can't imagine writing proposals any other way.

Nachteile

I wish it were easier to add and update flowers to our "inventory". Prices and stem counts tend to change so frequently, we have to be sure to double check our orders and prices everytime. Also, the multiple recipe function always has issues when inputing an order.

Vorteile

-Curate is linked to the Mayesh flower library as well as the Floral Supply Syndicate library, which happen to be two of my main wholesalers. I can quickly access up-to-date prices, names, and pictures of the items I plan to use in a client's design. This ability to access these designs make it helpful for when I'm communicating with my wholesaler exactly which item I need
-Ability to add flower pictures and Pinterest board pictures make the proposals visually pretty and help out the clients who aren't so visually creative

Nachteile

The ability to generate a mood board prior to giving clients prices would be amazing!
There is a small mood board and color way layout within the proposals itself but if they were able to be pulled out on their own, prior to having total quantities from clients would be helpful in starting the conversation with the client. Adding recipes and confirming product availability with the wholesaler can be a daunting tasks that holds up the proposal drafting process, and therefore can lead to clients hiring other florists who are more responsive.

I heard [SENSITIVE CONTENT] talk about the software on the[SENSITIVE CONTENT] podcast. Hearing his story, and hearing him reflect on the struggles and needs of a florist resonated with me. Having access to the [SENSITIVE CONTENT] and FSS libraries was really important to me and I felt like it elevated the Curate brand as a whole.

Vorteile

Curate has totally changed the game when it comes to writing clean, beautiful quotes for my clients plus it has saved me so much time. It used to take me hours to write quotes and now I've cut my quote writing time in half. I have had clients book me because they were blown away by the detail, and ease of reading the quote compared to other florists they had spoken to. I love that I have all of my financial reporting in one place here, I use the reports function all of the time, it makes my monthly accounting tasks so easy.

Nachteile

There are a few things I would love to see developed on curate. First of all I would love it if there was an app I could download to my phone. When I'm away from my computer I have to access Curate through my phone's internet browser and it's always a pain to log in and navigate. I would also love to be able to attach external documents to any emails I send through curate. For example, my company has a pdf rental guide that we frequently send to our clients when we send them their proposal. As far as I can tell, there is no way to attach a document to these outgoing emails so I have to send the client a second email with the document and it always seems less clean to me. The less emails my clients get, the better. I'd also love to be able to bold or italicize or underline text in the description boxes (not a big deal but sometimes I need to make a point or draw attention to what is written.

The ease in creating proposals, receiving content and keeping all details in one place. Our company is a full service floral, design and planning company. We use curate through the entire process from initial inquiry, contract management, floral proposals, client intake forms and correspondence, receiving payments, floral ordering and creating using the recipes.

Vorteile

This software has completely opened my eyes to ordering what I need with little or no wasted product and making the money that we deserve as well as how much we were under charging before this software.

Nachteile

This software can tend to run slow at times and the quantities pre installed are sometimes confusing or need to be changed. When you make changes within a proposal you have to remember that it does not make overall changes to all previously made proposals you must go in line by line and change every proposal that you have open for a change to take affect. This can be kind of frustrating and I have not found an easy fix for this yet. It’s just like any software when you see a problem go fix it immediately or else they will pile up on you and it’ll just make a big mess. Other than that I like the chat feature but sometimes you just want to call and be able to talk to someone. There are a few quirks that you need to remember like anytime you add a payment even though you have a percentage charge for a credit card if you add anything new to her proposal you have to remember all the things that That you have set up for that proposal and go make those changes to any additions. I think they are working hard on this software and it will soon be perfect but there’s lots of things to remember right now.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Curate

This software came highly recommended by Sarah Campbell of intrigue and after doing research and contacting other companies this one seemed very eager to not only have my business but to work with the software to make the changes that best suits me and our industry.

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

The system has a nice double layer database that allows for products that are placed into your proposal and the second layer in the database that is the items or recipe can be tied to products . System is well placed for floral industry . Customer service access very high that allows for immediate solutions. This is primarily a quote system based on the database products that does provide above average proposals that are electronic based. The system has an operational back end that provides some limited access to the data.

Nachteile

Curate is expanding it sales outside the floral industry in which the software itself creates it own limitations. The database which has been in redevelopment for the duration of the purchase has issues due to growth over the years. Slowness and work arounds persist. Database information has limited output as there is no API or zapier access. There is little access to the information from the back end operations and little ability to sort information on how it may be printed or output to vendor or other. There is no ability to create a purchase order in the output of the system nor is the products or items tied to vendors in the database. Printing is limited to browser printing capabilities and there is alignment output constraints between electronic version and PDF with respect to reports and PDF proposals. Be aware that there is no trial period on this software and although they say you can pay month to month, the contract is a one year contract. We have reduced the exposure to the software to marketing and sample proposals only at this time until the database information can be expanded for output for vendor or other software api usage. This is not a product that integrates into others at this time.

Vorteile

Curate has become as important a member of our wedding team as our wholesale department and designers! It allows us to create proposals in a fraction of the time it previously took that are beautiful, transparent and informative.We currently produce between 150 and 170 weddings per year but would recommend Curate even if we did far less for the time savings alone.

Nachteile

We create a production binder for each and every event. Currently, we have to do some hand cutting and pasting to get the best layout for our designers. We would love to be able to click a button and have that all generated for us.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Curate

Initially, our choice was made based on the ease of use and the proposal produced by the system for our clients.

Vorteile

Honestly, right now, the all-in-one proposal presentation makes it very easy for clients to 'pull the trigger' so to speak and book us. Looking forward to seeing how the back-end recipe part streamlines my office time.

Nachteile

The only annoyance at the moment is the payment section. I take a flat deposit to hold the date, and then the remaining 50% is due 90 days prior and the final balance is due 10 days prior and there is no way to set up this formula right now. So, every time there is an adjustment to the proposal I have to do quick math on my end to get the numbers correct. Nothing major, but it would be great if there was a way to remedy that.

Vorteile

This software has made our business run so much more efficiently. We have automated so many tasks that were previously cumbersome and time consuming. But I would give the highest praise to Curate for customer service! The live chat gets us immediate anwers to our questions. There's no pausing a contract proposal and waiting to hours to get your questions answered! I really can't recommend this product enough!

Nachteile

There have been a few items on my wish list over the years. I have submitted my suggestions to customer service and have been blown away by the response. Some feautres were already there and I just needed direction. Others were already in devleopment and some suggestion have been integrated in updates. As of right now, there isn't anything on my wish list. They have us covered from proposal to follow up!

Vorteile

I absolutely loved this B2C software. The ability to create mood boards, preset templates for emails & quotes, being able to capture customer general information from website to system, keep track of inventory and budget, and receive payment definitely saved time, money, and perishable waste. It absolutely got my business on the right track and I advocate every floral business who does wedding & events to invest in Curate! It will alleviate so much of the headache and complexities of the production, so that you have more time to work on your business rather than in it.

Nachteile

I really didn't have any cons. Over time, I have seen significant improvements and I applaud that.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

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.

Nachteile

The only thing is that I cannot have my forms returned to an additional email address. I do have a couple of wedding venues that gather all of the clients information and then deliver it to each vendor as a package, so it would have been great to give them a form that could be returned to both their email address as well as mine.

Vorteile

Curate is easy to use and they are always trying to make updates and the system more efficient. The program makes the business side more systematic and less emotional when you are pricing your items. this results in more money in your pocket ;) My clients love the overall look and clarity it provides so I am always meeting their expectations.

Nachteile

I wish I could add more pictures to the recipe. I wish it were integrated with QB so I would not have to re-enter numbers for my bookkeeper. Once in a while there is something glitchy, but you guys are always fast to solve the problem.

Vorteile

It's like having an administrative assistant 24 hours a day. Curate (formerly steam counter) allows me to work on my proposals faster, with attention to every detail. My clients love being able to see photos of the items and decoration items included in their proposal.

Nachteile

I have to work better the distribution of photos in categories and update the products. Sometimes photos take time to upload. It would be nice to be able to work without internet and update after having connection.

Vorteile

Stem counter has helped me feel more organized in my design process and allows me to keep track with my events and flower orders. When a client has updates or changes I can make them and Stem Counter updates my shopping list and hard goods list at the same time, therefor saving me valuable time and energy. As I become more comfortable in the process I can spit out estimates much quicker based on previous designs and then add more details once someone decides to book. I use it daily and it is a huge and helpful part of how I operate my business.

Nachteile

Since it is a newer product that is continually being developed there are sometimes a few hiccups that occur. However these are solved really quickly and the team is quick to jump on any problems that arise and give you a temporary fix to your problems in the mean time and then often have the solution in a day or two which is not too bad.

Vorteile

It automates proposal writing, allows me to write proposals at the time if consultation which increases sales.

Nachteile

I wish I could add optional items at the end in a separate section after the totals. Other than that it pretty much meets all of my needs.
