(Oregon Flowers also grows seasonal cut flowers, such as bearded iris, hyacinth and peonies.)<\/p>\n<p>Last spring, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.florist20.com\/blog\/news\/american-grown-flowers-go-china\">Meskers traveled to China<\/a> with a group of American flower farmers to better understand the Asian country\u2019s floral industry. While there, he noticed people worked almost exclusively with mobile apps.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Chinese are much more advanced with technology than people in the United States,\u201d he told Florist 2.0. \u201cThey do everything on a smartphone. Some buyers told us they don\u2019t even carry a wallet anymore. With flowers, each vendor has a QR code\u2014even the guy whose stand was just a bucket\u2014that you scan on a phone and hit \u2018pay.\u2019 And everyone uses an app called WeChat that\u2019s basically like Amazon and Facebook rolled into one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The company spent three months developing the app, which does not display quantities or prices\u2014only pictures of product. Since rolling out the app earlier this month, Oregon Flowers has received very positive feedback from wholesalers. \u201cMany of them have been sharing the information with their sales people, as well as with event planners and retailers,\u201d Meskers said, adding that he\u2019s confident this will improve communication between industry segments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has often been the grower\u2019s challenge to forecast what and when product is coming. The even bigger challenge has been to then inform the customer what and when it is ready to sell,\u201d he said. \u201cWe feel that our app can bridge the communication gap from inside our greenhouse to our customer\u2019s mobile device.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just in time for Valentine\u2019s Day, Oregon Flowers, Inc. has released a mobile application for Apple and Android devices to give customers an up-to-date report of what\u2019s available to buy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1925,"featured_media":2785,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2782","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Oregon Flowers, Inc.
