Case Study: Flowers for Dreams achieves seasonally smooth operations and 30-minute payroll with Rippling

Flowers for Dreams integrated all their systems to run a seasonally smooth business

Flowers for Dreams, a mission-driven full-service florist that donates 25% of its profits, was held back by siloed systems, manual payroll and benefits tracking, cumbersome onboarding, and the complexity of managing a multi-state, seasonal workforce. To address these issues they moved to Rippling’s unified HRIS, payroll, onboarding, and benefits platform to replace spreadsheets and fragmented tools and to scale operations more efficiently.

Rippling automated onboarding and benefits—enabling 93 customized offer letters in 12 minutes versus 1.5 days—synced 401(k) and benefit deductions (integrating with Human Interest), and connected payroll directly to QuickBooks to cut payroll processing from one day to 30 minutes. The Rippling implementation improved payroll accuracy, increased 401(k) participation, simplified seasonal hiring and offboarding, reduced turnover, and helped Flowers for Dreams stay compliant across multiple states.
