The story of the company
Customer: Storge s.r.o.
The name Storge s.r.o. is not a random choice, it is the ancient Greek word for affection. Considering the services on offer and the customer friendly approach, it is a more than apt name. During the time of the company's existence (since 1999) the company has managed to build a very strong and stable position on the Czech and Slovak market. The main priority of the company is the freshness of the flowers offered. For this reason, the company buys a large share of the assortment directly from growers from all over the world or online at the Dutch Flower Exchange. The company Storge s.r.o. has branches in Prague, Brno and since 2022 the wholesale Storge SK s.r.o Bratislava is open.

Implementation story
In 2008, we were approached by the management of the company with the request to implement a wholesale and warehouse system in their wholesale flower shop in Brno. The reason was dissatisfaction with the then solution and at the same time the expectation of the development of the network of the sister retail organization and the related increase in requirements for efficient supply of their stores and stores of other wholesale customers, which the then supplier could not provide.
WinShop SQL
Our analysts submitted a comprehensive solution proposal to the company's management, which covered the implementation of all the needs of wholesale sales and connection to the retail network of company's own stores. The company management accepted our solution and the related price offer and at the beginning of 2009 the implementation of our WinShop SQL POS and warehouse system was started. The pilot phase included implementation in the wholesale store in Brno and connection to 20 selected company's own stores. After the pilot phase was completed and the acceptance criteria agreed, the next phase of implementation was initiated, which included connecting the wholesale store with the remaining stores and commissioning an internal ordering system for store supply. The entire implementation was successfully completed and provided a solid foundation for further cooperation. STORGE is gradually expanding the number of its wholesale outlets in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. With the development of wholesale stores and especially in connection with the need to optimize supply, support sales to customers, the need to implement customer programs and, last but not least, the connection with its own e-shop, the management of STORGE requires our analysts and programmers to make new, inventive modifications to the business system. Thanks to many years of experience, understanding of the principles of wholesale flower sales and the customer's willingness to invest in new functionalities, we have managed to build together the most modern business system for the flower sales segment in Central Europe.
