How a Florist Scaled Past 8 Million by Fixing Perishables Waste

In this episode of Scaling Up with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dive into the story of a small florist in Portland that grew from a single shop to over $8 million in annual revenue by tackling the industry's biggest headache: perishables waste. They walk through how the owner used data to predict demand, slashed spoilage from 30% to 8%, and freed up cash to open a second location. Along the way, they discuss the broader lesson for any business dealing with inventory that rots, expires, or goes out of style: it's not about buying less—it's about buying smarter. A practical case study in operations and margins for small business owners. #Florist #Perishables #ScalingUp #SmallBusiness #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #InventoryManagement #WasteReduction #Portland #DataDriven #Operations #Margins #Growth #Entrepreneurship #DemandForecasting #Retail #SupplyChain Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
