FLEUROP

About Fleurop

Fleurop is one of the world’s largest floral companies, delivering millions of orders annually. The business idea to help in the transmission of flower gifts was officially founded in 1908 in Germany. Today, Fleurop, also known as Interflora, operates successfully in 150 countries with a huge network of retail florists and a reputation for reliably fast delivery.

How We Made It Happen

The Challenge

With its century-old legacy, Fleurop is a renowned name operating successfully in the floral industry. However, they faced a modern business challenge that every growing company faces: the need to digitize and improve operations without losing control of existing ones.

Managing a large network of florists and suppliers across multiple countries meant handling thousands of invoices, purchase orders, and transactions every month. For Fleurop, the manual upload of invoices through SAP Ariba and the issues of duplicate supplier accounts were slowing things down.

Fleurop was looking for ways to make its system more efficient and automated. At the same time, the brand wanted to integrate Ariba with its existing eShop for easy transaction flows and data exchange.

The company needed a strategic SAP consulting partner who could guide them in implementing more efficient solutions. They wanted a system that could handle their expansive floral network, supplier relationships, and digital operations more smoothly.

The Solution

Spadoom partnered with Fleurop to simplify how their systems worked within SAP Ariba. The project goal was to help and empower the company with tactical approaches and clear solutions that also work in the future.

An in-depth analysis of Fleurop’s existing invoice system and supplier management helped to identify the key inefficiencies. Using Ariba’s CSV interface, the system operations were streamlined, and the repetitive tasks were automated.

Along with reducing manual workload, Spadoom also focused on integrating the Ariba system with Fleurop’s eShop to make the online transactions smooth. The team suggested ways to handle account duplication records and advised on account consolidation.

The project remained advisory in scope, but the deliverables were tangible. Spadoom’s SAP expertise provided Fleurop with the strategic insights and comprehensive documentation they needed to develop digitally.

The Results

The consulting collaboration between Fleurop and Spadoom became a strong foundation for the company’s digital growth. With smooth invoice processing and clear integration pathways, Fleurop got more control over its system.

Managing supplier relationships and transactions became easier. The digitized operations within the SAP Ariba ecosystem helped them save hours of manual work. They addressed duplicate issues more quickly than before, which also helped them enhance coordination across their vast florist network.

Instead of high-level theories, Spadoom showed exactly how to coordinate with SAP. All the recommendations delivered significant results for Fleurop.

Most importantly, the partnership helped Fleurop to modernize its system without the need for a full-scale system overhaul. The practical solutions recommended by Spadoom helped the company to reinforce its legacy of reliability and trust.
