Services · Mobile app development · Flower delivery apps
Codeeo handles flower delivery app development in Riyadh for florists, gift brands and multi-branch flower chains. We build the customer app where people pick a bouquet, choose a delivery slot and write a card message, plus the workshop and driver tools that turn each order into a fresh arrangement at the right door in Olaya, Al Malqa or Al Nakheel. Riyadh is spread wide across its ring roads, and a missed slot on a birthday or a hospital visit costs you the customer.
Our team of 80+ works across Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi, so the people planning your app understand how gifting works in the capital: Arabic first, often ordered late, frequently sent to someone who does not know it is coming. Good florist app development Riyadh customers notice is mostly about removing doubt: will it arrive, will it look like the photo, will the card be right.

What the app can include
Most flower orders in Riyadh are not planned weeks ahead. A colleague announces a new baby, a relative is admitted to King Faisal Specialist Hospital, a client in the King Abdullah Financial District closes a deal, and someone opens an app expecting a bouquet to arrive that afternoon. The app has to show what can really be delivered to that district today, take payment in a few taps and pass the order to a florist who can start arranging straight away.
Behind the customer screens sit two tools many florists skip: a workshop queue that tells arrangers what to build and in what order, and a driver app that groups deliveries so a courier is not crossing from Hittin to Al Aziziyah and back. The features below are the ones we usually plan for a Riyadh florist, arranged around a single order as it moves from phone to door. Not every florist needs all of them in the first release, and part of discovery is deciding which ones pay for themselves first.
Customers enter a district or drop a pin, and the app shows only the time slots your couriers can actually meet. North Riyadh, the central business area and the southern districts can carry different cut-off times, so a late order in Al Yasmin is not promised the same window as one near your shop.
Promises the customer sees are promises your drivers can keep.
Senders often know the name and phone number but not the exact address. The app can text the recipient a location request that keeps the sender's identity hidden until delivery, then add the confirmed pin and National Address code to the order. If the recipient does not reply in time, the shop is alerted early enough to call the sender before the driver sets off.
Fewer failed drops and fewer calls that spoil the surprise.
Arrangements are built from stems you actually hold. When a rose variety runs short at one branch, bouquets that need it are hidden or swapped for a florist's choice option, instead of being sold and then cancelled by phone. Seasonal stems such as tulips or peonies can be shown only while supply lasts, then hidden automatically.
The catalogue shows what each branch can make today.
Office managers and HR teams in Olaya and KAFD can order for staff birthdays, client wins and condolences from one company account, with saved recipients, approval rules and monthly statements carrying ZATCA compliant e-invoices. A web version lets assistants place orders from a desktop during the working day without installing anything.
Repeat business from companies that order every week.
Hospitals, hotels and wedding halls each have their own drop rules. The app asks for ward, room or reception details, warns where flowers are restricted and lets drivers record who received the arrangement at the desk. Repeat venues are saved, so the next driver already knows the right entrance, desk and parking spot.
Deliveries to busy buildings reach the right person.
Customers write in Arabic or English, preview the printed card and add chocolates, perfume or balloons from your range. Messages flow straight to the workshop printer so nobody retypes a heartfelt note from a screenshot. Long messages are checked against the card size, so text is never cut off halfway through a sentence.
Higher order values without extra admin.
A tablet view lists today's orders by dispatch time, shows the reference photo and add-ons, and lets the arranger mark an order ready with a photo of the finished piece for quality checks. Supervisors can reject a finished piece and send it back with a note before it ever leaves the shop.
Arrangers build in the order drivers need them.
Drivers get grouped runs, turn by turn navigation, recipient notes and a photo or signature step at handover. Delays are flagged to the shop before the customer notices. Runs are grouped by direction, so a courier heading north to Al Malqa carries every order for that side of the city in one trip.
Every order closes with evidence, not a phone call.
Reception desks, clinics and villas that want fresh flowers every week can subscribe once and choose a day, a size and a style. The system books the slot automatically, reserves stems in advance and lets the customer pause during travel or Ramadan without calling the shop.
Predictable weekly orders that smooth out quiet days.
Customers save the dates that matter, such as anniversaries, Mother's Day and graduations, and receive a reminder with a suggested bouquet a few days before. Points or stamps reward the regulars who keep your Riyadh branches busy. Rewards can be limited to particular branches or quiet weekdays, so they never eat into margins during a peak week.
Customers come back without paid advertising.
Who this is for
The flower trade in the capital ranges from a single boutique in a strip of shops off Tahlia Street to chains with branches across north and east Riyadh and a central workshop. Each starts from a different place. Some already sell through delivery aggregators and want customers of their own. Others take orders over WhatsApp and Instagram and are drowning in screenshots during busy weeks. These are the four situations we see most often, and each one leads to a different first release with a different set of priorities.
Your orders arrive as chats, voice notes and bank transfer receipts. A first app gives customers a proper catalogue, card payment and slot booking, while the dashboard pulls every order into one list your small team can work through. WhatsApp stays as a support channel rather than the order book, and you finally see which bouquets and districts bring in the most. We also import your existing customer numbers, so past buyers can be invited to the app on launch day with their usual addresses ready.
Start with ordering and payment; loyalty can follow.
With shops in several districts, the question is which branch fulfils which order. We build routing rules based on distance, branch stock and workshop load, so an order for Al Nakheel is made at the nearest branch with the right flowers. Head office sees sales, waste and late deliveries by branch, and staff at each shop only see their own queue. Transfers are logged whenever one shop sends stems to another, so stock counts stay honest across the whole network.
Routing rules are agreed with your branch managers first.
If most of your revenue comes from companies, the app is less about browsing and more about accounts. We plan company profiles, approval flows, bulk orders for events and monthly invoicing, with a web portal alongside the app for the office manager who orders from a desktop in a Riyadh tower. Condolence and get well orders can follow approved templates, so an office manager can send flowers in two minutes without hunting for wording or the right budget code. Budgets are tracked per department.
A web portal often matters more than the phone app here.
Chocolatiers, perfume houses and cake shops in Riyadh increasingly sell flowers alongside their own products. The challenge is that flowers age by the hour and need a different stock and dispatch model. We add a flower range to your existing store with its own freshness and slot rules, so it does not slow down the products you already ship. Customers keep one account and one basket, so a box of dates and a bouquet can arrive together in a single delivery.
How we work together
A fixed scope first release suits most florists: the catalogue, checkout, slots, workshop queue and driver app, delivered and launched as one package. After launch, a monthly retainer keeps the app ready for each season, adding new bouquets, adjusting delivery zones and fixing whatever customers report. Chains planning several releases over a longer period sometimes take a dedicated team that meets their operations staff in Riyadh in person. The scope, the responsibilities on both sides and the way changes are approved are written down before design begins, so nobody is surprised by what is included when the first invoice arrives.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
We usually build the customer and driver apps in Flutter or React Native, the admin in a modern web framework and the backend on cloud hosting with a Saudi region where your data rules call for it. Payments run through a local gateway that supports mada, Apple Pay and the cards your Riyadh customers carry. Maps, SMS and push notifications use providers that work reliably inside the Kingdom.

It depends mostly on how many branches and integrations the first release must cover.
A single shop with one delivery area moves much faster than a chain routing orders between branches across Riyadh. During discovery we list the screens, the integrations and the occasions you want to be ready for, then give you a written plan with milestones. Many florists aim to launch well before a busy period so staff can practise on normal days first, rather than learning a new system in the middle of a rush. Later features such as subscriptions or loyalty can follow in a second release once the core ordering flow is proven.
