Pros Easy to use. Make a bigger profit for my company. No more undercutting myself on events like weddings! Cons We had a slight problem with stripe payments but got it fixed. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Student Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "It helps me to keep track of my expenses,keeps me organized and clients love it." May 13, 2018 4.0 Pros It's super easy to use. I spend less time calculating costs of my business making it easier to complete proposals. I like the ability to save recipes so we're not recreating the wheel again and again.Every day I am still finding functions within this software that is saving me time and money. Cons Takes time to get to grips with the software but once you do there are no cons.Being able to upload a list of our inventory would be super efficient because it wasters a lot of time. Review Source Response from Curate May 18, 2018 You¿re too kind! Thanks so much for the review. We love that it¿s making such a huge impact in your business. I hate that somehow we failed communicate that in your situation we would do the upload for you. We have it built out, but in order to give customers a 5-star experience, we personally assist with it. Luckily, you¿ll never have to add it again! DB DelJean B. Owner/Floral Designer Consumer Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Highly Recommend Curate Software " October 31, 2018 5.0 I love Curate and would highly recommend it to anyone! Pros There are so many things I love: 1. Curate allows me to give clients a professional proposal 2. It helps me keep track of each event and not get my clients mixed up! 3. If I need to change things for a client - it is easy! Cons It's a little hard to manage my library of flowers and remember which ones I like to use. Maybe I just don't know how to manage this correctly. Review Source AS Ashley S. Owner Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Game Changer" March 7, 2021 5.0 Pros Ease of creating beautiful and professional proposals! Cons There is a learning curve to figuring out how to best operate, but the customer support team is eager and very helpful. Review Source HS Holley S. Owner Retail Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Changed the way I do business!" July 27, 2019 4.0 We are a new retail store and juggle quite a bit during the course of the day, and Curate has allowed us to get the wedding arm of the business down to a system. It's intuitive and easy to learn, and the customer support is always top-notch. Pros Curate helps me keep a close eye on material costs and helps me determine areas I'm overspending. It's completely revolutionized the way I place orders and has saved me hundreds in the first three months alone. I work with clients and hand over the proposal to our florist, and the recipe builder and templates makes the transition seamless. Cons I wish the client interface was a bit more polished. I know I'm able to upgrade to a more image-heavy format, I haven't determined yet if it's worth it for my business. Review Source KL Katie L. Used the software for: ### "Time Savings!!" January 18, 2017 5.0 We do over 250 weddings a year. I was using a spreadsheet through EXCEL to give my clients a proposal. My proposals used to take hours per proposal which would put me behind by weeks or even months. I needed a program to help streamline my workload. I found Stemcounter and I'm in LOVE. A few favorite things about stemcounter - it's web based and I can access ALL my orders from anywhere. Also, with a hit of a button, my flower order is generated in a second. No flowers or supplies will ever be missed again. When i send a proposal out to my client, I get nothing but great reviews on the style and format. It's above and beyond any other proposals within my area. I have a feeling we will be turning a HUGE profit in 2017. Thank you! Review Source Response from Curate January 25, 2017 Thanks so much Katie!! Loving being able to make life easier on you. :) We've got some STELLAR updates coming in the next couple months that you're going to love as well. LM Lauren M. Owner Retail Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Awesome program! " June 18, 2016 5.0 Ryan is always super helpful and fast with responses! I feel more organized sending my brides a quote with this program. It also looks professional. Pros I can attach pictures to the descriptions! Cons I wish the proposals looked a little more up to date, placement of the logo, email, etc. or it would be nice if we could format it ourselves. Review Source Response from Curate June 18, 2016 Thanks so much for the review Lauren!! We love having you aboard. We hope you've had a chance to check out some of the features that we released in the last few days to make your proposals even more customizable! As we begin to release more features, it will start to fill in. :) The software is responsive so even if your brides are viewing a proposal on their phone, it will optimize to look great their screen. This is probably the biggest challenge that we have...how do we allow the software to do it's magic for tablets, phones, or desktop and still be able to let florists manually move design elements around? As we move forward, I promise this will be something we'll continue to look at! KG Kait G. Owner Biotechnology Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Wedding program Review" February 2, 2017 5.0 I love the software, it makes ordering a breeze, and I love how fast I can put together a proposal. I do not like how every time you leave or make an edit it automatically saves it as a draft- I sometimes make a mistake and have to reopen it, and if I miss a flower type or word, it considered it a new draft and I didn't really make any changes. I wish there was a spot for ceremony and reception times instead of me having to put it in the notes section. Pros The ease and how fast it is to use Cons The draft features Review Source Response from Curate April 23, 2017 Hey Kait! We love having you on the software! I'd love to chat with you about some of the issues you're facing. The only time a new version is created is when you decide to. The draft does automatically save to make sure you don't lose any of your work. :) That's why it's so quick! On the ceremony and reception time slots, you can add those in your "event details" section. We have florists from A-Z (Australia to Zimbabwe) with a wide variety of what information they want included so the event details section allows you to add any and all details to how your specific company works! MR Mary R. Designer Retail Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Personally I prefer Honeybook but Curate is a good option " May 27, 2020 5.0 I liked curate but chose to use Honeybook in my business. Pros Curate is easier to use than honeybook and features a much easier to use interface with an easier learning curve for users. Cons Honeybook offers more professional-looking results when you compare them side by side with curate for my business. Review Source LR Lauren R. nurse Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "great" May 7, 2018 5.0 Pros Super easy to use and the customer service has been great this far. No complaints on the ease of use and having everything together. Cons It isn't totally up to date on everything. It takes a while to enter all your prices and pictures for each item. Review Source Response from Curate May 10, 2018 Hey Lauren! We love that you love it!! We hope it's adding a ton of value. :) Our pricing comes from our connection with Mayesh and does have to be tweaked a little bit since they have 19 locations and we have one standard list. We have some cool updates planned here though! Ryan JG Jane G. Owner Events Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Software!" September 5, 2019 5.0 Dedicated to customer service. Great company. Pros I am still at the beginning but it does everything we have been looking for and more. Cons I can't find anything yet. Sometimes it loads a little slowly, but not always. Reason for choosing Curate Because I really like how much they care. Review Source MH Mandy H. Owner Events Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Curate saves me time!" December 24, 2018 5.0 Curate has saved me tons of time on recipe making and flower orders! Pros The ease of use is great. Also, being g able to get questions answered quickly is great! Cons Integrations lacking; and doesn’t totally connect to my email Review Source Response from Curate December 26, 2018 Hey Mandy!! Absolutely love that we've made such a big impact. Please reach out to our chat team about integrations. We have the most integrations of any software of our kind (quickbooks, xero, google email, google maps, google calendar, stripe, outlook, nowsta, etc.). Would love to hear how we can serve you better! JD Jonathan D. Production designer Events Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Busy Designer with more free time" December 12, 2016 5.0 Could be happier with the encounter. While it's great at keeping me organized it also keeps me more profitable without any extra work. Each update makes it even better. Pros The mark keeps my profit margins solid. And the ease of manipulation makes it easy to make changes Cons Bring the archive feature back Review Source Response from Curate December 12, 2016 Thanks so much for the review Jonathan! It's reviews like these that keep us excited to continue developing. Good news: we still have the archive feature! I'll message you about it. With the UI upgrade, the button looks a little different. GA Garrett A. Owner Hospitality Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Don't be fooled" August 9, 2021 1.0 Pros The co-owner will tell you you can do month to month while on the phone. But, once you sign there is no trial (most other real companies have trials). They lock you in to 12 month contract. So, buyer beware there are other better programs that give you a trial period Curate does not. They do not answer there phones or return message for new clients with in a timely manner a or at all sometimes. They have a "customer success" line that no one answers. Cons There is no customer support after you sign. The sales leads program is confusing and not intuitive for active catering sales. Review Source LM Larissa M. Sole proprietor, head designer, lead bottle washer Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Incredible Product and Support" December 6, 2016 5.0 6 weeks into using Stem Counter i can already count the time saved on proposal writing and delivery, Easy of delivering proposals to clients, and clients are leaving comments like "I love how detailed you are with your proposal! Everything looks great!!!" Ryan offers amazing support and is quick to answer all my tedious questions. Many thanks Pros easy to use, Cons would like more photos per item, also ability to quickly add email templates to proposal, invoices etc. Review Source VW Vicki W. owner/operator/designer/chief bottle washer Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Where have you been all my life? Such an awesome product! " October 17, 2017 5.0 Saves so much time and helps to keep things organized! Pros Intuitive, user friendly and saves so much time! Fantastic customer service too! Love saving the recipes, shopping lists and ability to streamline my business. Cons The only con is my lack of time to get into the product and learn how to use all that it offers. It's a wonderful system and there is nothing negative I could say about it! Review Source lD lori D. owner/designer Design Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Our rep is great. She's friendly, knowledgeable and incredibly helpful. " May 22, 2017 5.0 it cuts back my time when writing recipes, ordering and proposals. It is great for presentation to the client overall. Pros I love the concise compact all in one place works of this software. The design board option is excellent. Cons I'd like to be able to sync my Quickbooks to this software. I am still having trouble with the recipe feature but I think that's me just not having enough time to work through it all atm. Review Source Response from Curate May 22, 2017 Hi Lori, thank you for the review! Quickbooks integration is on the horizon after our next bigt project due out later this summer. In the meantime, we haven't had time to get into our reporting integration so as soon as you have time, we can get you set up!

" May 16, 2017 5.0 Ularas saves me from over ordering which has been a problem. I like the way it also spends directly to wholesalers for what I need. Pros I love the ordering and recipe features. It really helps me stay on track with budgets for an event! Cons I wish it could do a little more with customer management. Maybe auto responders or reminders for clients. Review Source Response from Curate May 16, 2017 Thank you Gina! I appreciate you writing a review!

October 4, 2018 5.0 Pros This program streamlines by busy work as a business owner and makes me look so professional. Cons It does take a bit of time to fully set up my account Review Source CO Charley O. Owner Consumer Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Love the system! Keeps us organized and we always have this to look back at!" May 22, 2017 5.0 Organization, keep costs down Pros Recipe builder and the ease of communicating with the client. The recipe builder keeps me from ordering too much product and then I am able to keep my overhead down. The communication is key--we have gone back to this SO many times, stating "you signed off on it" or "check each line closely" Review Source Response from Curate May 22, 2017 Thank you Charley! I appreciate you taking time to review Ularas. I'm happy to hear it's working so well for you so far. I'm guessing there are a bunch of features you've not yet had a chance to use and I'm happy to set up time to go through where you are and what you can still utilize. If you have time to talk please let me know and we'll get a time set up! Thank you for choosing Ularas! Please reach out anytime I can be helpful. TS Tammy S. Owner Events Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Tammy Review" December 13, 2016 4.0 Stemcounter has been fairly easy to use, but sometimes takes me out of my proposal when I'm in the middle of working on it. I'm still not convinced that it's worth the amount of money I'm paying when I had a free program through wedding wire. Pros The shopping list Cons booting me out of my proposal while I'm using it Review Source Response from Curate December 13, 2016 Hey Tammy! Thanks so much for the review. Love having you on board. I hate that you're having issues with the software bumping you out during a proposal. This is the first we've heard of this from you and I'm personally sending you a message to see if we can figure out whether the issue is on the software or your local computer. Also! We have a huge announcement coming up and can't release all the details, but you'll have access to a huge floral library to compliment the custom items you've built in. KG Kaitlyn G. Owner Events Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "I don't like the draft format " January 5, 2017 4.0 I do and don't like the draft format, sometimes I make a small mistake and I need to go In and fix it but it makes a new draft. That's the only downfall. I wish you could manually make it a new draft, and not automatically have a new draft every time you make a change. Pros The ease of use and how quickly I can get a proposal out. I like how it keeps track of all the ceremony and reception locations Cons The draft feature Review Source Response from Curate January 5, 2017 Hey Kaitlyn! Thanks so much for stopping by and reviewing. We love having you on the software. We'd love to hear any ideas on how to make the proposal versioning better! Totally understand that someones little things need to be fixed without wanting a new "version." We do have some ideas in mind for this but are totally open to anything that would help. mS melissa S.
