I have tried other programs that do not quite understand the specifics needed within my software to create successful proposals. > > **Cons**: 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. > > Thus far, it has been amazing\! The customer service is incredibly helpful and very patient\! It has very muvh so been worth every penny\! ----- ### "Couldn't do my job without it" — 5.0/5 > **Emily** | *12 March 2024* | Events Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: 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\! > > **Cons**: Probably the price, but I do understand pricing to have a great product, which you have. ----- ### "We couldn't live without it\!" — 5.0/5 > **Jennifer** | *21 January 2022* | Events Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We bought this software 4+ years ago and are constantly impressed. It is absolutely central to running our small business. It's their customer service that blows me away\! I get an immediate reply to any question through the live chat. This is how customer service should be done\! > > **Cons**: The expense of adding new features is prohibitive. I would rather pay one monthly fee and have access to everything. > > Exceptional\! ----- ### "Big fan of Curate\!" — 5.0/5 > **Rachel** | *27 March 2023* | Events Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: 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. > > **Cons**: 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. > > Excellent. I love that the team is always soliciting feedback, and works to implement it to make a better curate. You guys are awesome. ----- ### "This is the software every florist needs" — 5.0/5 > **Alexis** | *16 August 2022* | Events Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: -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 > > **Cons**: 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. > > With Curate, I never feel alone. The customer experience team, from the onboarding, to the free refresher training sessions, to the ability to shoot them a question or comment is always on their game and always so friendly. I have never felt like the company doesn't care; if they don't have an answer they always work to get the answer from another team member. I feel like they are not a stagnant company with unreasonable policies and procedures in place; they are constantly looking to evolve with the clients and meet the needs of clients in order to make the software better. ----- Page: 1 / 10\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/336863/curate?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/336863/curate) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
