Flourish Supported Hardware, Networking, and Vendors
Flourish supported Hardware, Networking, and Partners
Supported & Recommended Hardware:
Flourish is web-based and can be accessed by almost any computer running a modern web browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari). Google Chrome is our default recommended browser.
For production systems using peripherals like receipt printers, label printers, scales, etc; systems running Windows 10 and 11 are the only ones supported. Windows 10 is end of life, so we recommend updating your operating system to the latest updates.

Where to buy:
Label Printers | This is applicable for non-retail and retail clients.

Labels | The Zebra printers support a variety of labels. |
Plant Tags | Agricultural Tag Printer
Alternative Option: Zebra Printer + Tag. Manually apply the label to the tag and tag the plants.
• An alternative is a Snap Lock 5" Pin Security Loop Plastic Tag Fastener instead of a pre-wired tag |
POS Terminals |
|
POS Receipt Printers | Flourish Supports Epson Printers. Printers must support ESC/POS.
|
POS Cash Drawers | Any Epson-compatible cash drawer. |
POS Scanner | USB wired/wireless scanner. |
POS ID Scanners | See our IDScan.net/shop page for specifics |
Flatbed Scanners | Use this for scanning patient/customer documentation in retail (or for other general business documentation scanning). Flourish does not have scanner integration at this time. Choose a scanner that can scan to a network drive and upload the document to the Flourish application. |
Mobile Device Scanners | Flourish Mobile application runs on the Android OS. We strongly recommend Zebra handheld scanners for their superior durability with integrated scanning.
|
RFID | Zebra RFID Add-Ons for the TC22 |
Weigh Scales | While not integrated, we do recommend the Ohaus Ranger 3000 Series |
Network Infrastructure:
As Flourish is a cloud-hosted application, having a fast, reliable, and secure network infrastructure is necessary to support operations.
- Wire all hardware equipment into the network.
- All wiring should be Cat5e, or higher cabling, shielded as necessary, and properly terminated.
- For self-managed networks. we recommend reviewing and training on PCI Merchant Resources, including PCI Firewall Basics.
- Segregated Networks, Physical (preferred) or Logically, for Retail, Payments, General Operations, and Staff.
- Minimum Bandwidth recommendations:
Number of Registers | Download Speed | Upload Speed |
1 - 10 Registers, Up to 250 orders/day | 50 Mbps | 20 Mbps |
11+ Registers, 1000+ orders/day | 100 Mbps | 30 Mbps |
