FTD® announced Thursday, Sept. 17, the release of two major technology advancements: Mercury Direct Plus and FTD® Mercury® Delivery for point of sale. Both systems create significant upgrades as a continuation of FTD’s commitment to investing millions of dollars in technology each year.
Here's a brief rundown of each:
Mercury Direct Plus
This newly enhanced version of Mercury Direct provides the same intuitive solution for connecting to the Mercury Network that florists know, but with value-added features including:
· A faster processor for more reliable messaging
· Ability to print enclosure cards
· Dashboard notifications when messages are received
· Automatic software updates
· Customizable abbreviation codes
Mercury Direct users can download the FREE upgrade at www.FTDi.com/MDPlus today.
FTD® Mercury® Delivery
Mercury point-of-sale users can manage multiple stops while keeping tabs on each order as drivers proceed along each route. With timed delivery options and enhanced reporting tools, such as an updated customer master list, delivery management has never been easier. New features include:
· Delivery snapshot provides order details and priority level on one screen
· Link unverified addresses to orders with pushpin icons exclusive to FTD Mercury
· Add non-order stops to a route such as wholesalers, other shops and funeral homes
· Drivers can confirm deliveries on their smartphone
· Customize delivery charges and create routes according to priority
· Streamlined and efficient tool bar
FTD Mercury POS users can contact Technology Sales at 800.767.3222 for FTD Mercury Delivery installation.
“FTD invests millions of dollars in technology annually to support the thousands of florists across North America who rely on Mercury Technology to run their business,” said Rachel Zipsie, FTD Vice President of Technology Sales and Retail Operations. “Generating major enhancements to Mercury Direct Plus and Mercury Delivery at the same time was a massive undertaking, but crucial to ensure our florist customers could continue to run their florists-to-florist and local businesses in the most efficient manner. We are excited about the upgrades to both systems and believe our florists will be delighted with the advanced technology solutions.”
Since its inception, FTD has stood for quality, creativity and worldwide floral delivery. Our network of florists continues to be the lifeblood of FTD. We continue to support our floral network through our innovative spirit and commitment to raising the awareness of giving flowers, which is further supported with the new releases of Mercury Direct Plus and FTD Mercury Delivery.
