Floward, the go-to online flowers and gifts delivery destination in the MENA and UK has won the Middle East Technology Excellence Award 2022 for the E-Commerce - Retail category.
Floward won the award for its feature "Share Your Feelings" in the Middle East Technology Excellence Awards 2022 ceremony organized by the Asian Business Review. The feature allows customers to easily film their own personal ten-second video messages or add a video link that will be converted into a QR code and will then be printed on the card attached to their gifts and flower arrangements.
The award gala dinner was held at the Shangri-la Hotel in Dubai in the presence of winners from leading companies in the Middle East from different industries.
Several members of the management team at Floward attended the ceremony including Chief Technology Officer, Diyaa Hamza who accepted the award and delivered a speech saying: “I am thrilled to be here today to accept this award on behalf of our team who developed this unique feature in-house. Our feature allowed QR codes to be linked, generated, and printed in a matter of milliseconds, and that speed is what makes Floward’s technology one of a kind. Our team has been working nonstop since Floward was established to develop solutions that enhance and simplify the experience of customers; ‘Share Your Feelings’ was one of the first features we developed to provide a hassle-free customer experience. I would like to thank the technology team for their efforts and the management for their continuous support and for creating an environment that encourages innovation.”
