Built by a florist who lives it.
My family has been in the flower business since 1934, when my great-grandfather opened our first shop in Detroit. I'm the fourth generation. Today I run Bartz Viviano, four shops and a wholesale operation in Toledo. I'm also the person who writes our software.
It started with my dad, who began building the back end of our business in Microsoft Access in 1992. I picked up where he left off, taught myself to code, and never stopped. I rebuilt the whole thing into a modern web platform and kept widening what it covers, year after year. This year we moved the last piece, order entry and the customer side, onto our own system. It now runs the entire business, front to back.
That system is Tussie. It isn't a concept or a pitch deck. It runs my business every single day. A team of engineers can build software. They can't build nearly a century of knowing what a florist actually needs.
