Delivery is mission-critical.

Our customers are businesses such as florists, garden centers, landscapers, and wedding planners. They need the flowers to serve their customers. They do not have the time to pick up boxes of flowers. It needs to be delivered.

Flowers are delicate. Therefore, flower delivery is complicated. The temperature must be between 38 to 58 degrees, no more or no less. Also, flower boxes cannot be shaken or dropped.

Challenges of doing deliveries ourselves.

Being a wholesaler, our profit margins are low. This is why delivery costs are really important for us. When we do deliveries ourselves, we need to pay for vehicle lease, insurance, and delivery driver. It adds up to a large number quickly.

Additionally, we pay our drivers by the hour when we do the deliveries ourselves. This is a challenge. I do not know the exact amount until the deliveries are over and I cannot foresee it.

On top of all, delivery visibility is critical. I estimate the delivery to be completed by 10 AM but it sometimes takes 3 more hours. If I cannot tell my customer when their packages will be delivered, they will lose from their working hours.

 

"Metrobi is amazing."

Metrobi’s delivery platform is amazing. Coming from the dark ages, it amazes me. Now, I can tell my customers where the driver is and they are happy.

Delivery tracking

I can track the delivery progress, driver location, and learn when the deliveries will be completed.

Price transparency

I know what the delivery cost beforehand. There are no surprises.

Professional service

Flowers are delicate products. Metrobi drivers have always handled my packages flawlessly.

My products are handled professionally and I have access to a reliable delivery solution.

We are planning to offer a delivery focused service to our customers because they cannot come to our showroom during the lockdown.
