Resumen
ServiceFlower presenta una solución innovadora para optimizar la cadena de
suministro de rosas en Lima Este, conectando directamente a los productores de Caraz con
florerías pequeñas y medianas ubicadas en distritos como Ate, La Molina y Santa Anita. Su
propuesta de valor elimina la participación de intermediarios, garantiza la entrega de rosas
frescas en un plazo máximo de 24 horas, reduce los costos de adquisición y las mermas, y
mejora la rentabilidad de las florerías, promoviendo al mismo tiempo la sostenibilidad y un
impacto social positivo.
La industria de rosas en Lima enfrenta ineficiencias significativas. Los intermediarios
elevan los costos de adquisición entre un 20% y un 40%, lo que incrementa el precio por tallo
de S/2.31 a S/2.80 o S/3.20. Asimismo, los tiempos de entrega de entre dos y cuatro días
afectan la frescura del producto, mientras que las mermas alcanzan niveles del 12% al 18%,
limitando los márgenes de ganancia de las florerías a un rango del 25% al 35%.
ServiceFlower resuelve estos desafíos mediante un sistema logístico optimizado que incluye
transporte refrigerado valorizado en S/145,000.00 y un centro de acopio ubicado en Caraz,
asegurando entregas rápidas de rosas de alta calidad con una vida útil de entre siete y diez
días y mermas reducidas al 5%.
La plataforma tecnológica de ServiceFlower, accesible mediante pedidos por
WhatsApp o página web, simplifica la gestión de inventarios, permite prever la demanda
estacional y libera tiempo para que las florerías se concentren en la creación de arreglos
personalizados y la atención al cliente.
Los beneficios son concretos y medibles. Las florerías pueden aumentar sus márgenes
de ganancia hasta un 45% gracias a la reducción de costos y la disminución de desperdicios,
fortaleciendo su competitividad frente a grandes minoristas. El análisis financiero confirma la
viabilidad del modelo, con un Valor Actual Neto económico de S/357,856.42, un Valor
Actual Neto financiero de S/454,942.85, una Tasa Interna de Retorno económica del 42.81%
y una Tasa Interna de Retorno financiera del 53.83%, alcanzando el punto de equilibrio en
2.8 años. La simulación Monte Carlo muestra una probabilidad del 92% de superar un Valor
Actual Neto de S/300,000.00, lo que evidencia la resiliencia del proyecto ante escenarios
adversos. La inversión inicial de S/395,508.39 se financia con un 60% de capital propio y un
40% mediante deuda, asegurando la sostenibilidad económica del emprendimiento.
ServiceFlower se proyecta como un aliado estratégico para las 300 a 350 florerías de
Lima Este, las cuales generan ingresos anuales estimados entre 18 y 25 millones de soles.
Con un enfoque inicial en esta zona, el modelo presenta un alto potencial de escalabilidad
hacia otras regiones de Lima y mercados como Arequipa, además de la posibilidad de
expansión hacia destinos internacionales como Chile y Colombia. De esta manera,
ServiceFlower redefine el sector de rosas peruano al maximizar la rentabilidad, empoderar a
productores y florerías, y promover la sostenibilidad, transformando la experiencia de los
clientes mediante la entrega de rosas frescas y de calidad superior.
La evaluación social del proyecto confirma su impacto positivo y sostenible.
ServiceFlower contribuye al empleo digno, la reducción de desperdicios con mermas del 5%
y al fortalecimiento de las economías locales, que alcanzan S/508,593.99 en Caraz al quinto
año, en línea con los ODS 8 y 12. El Valor Actual Neto Social (VANS) asciende a
S/2’171,095.22, calculado con una tasa de descuento del 8%, lo que demuestra que los
beneficios sociales superan los costos anuales estimados en S/6,408. Además, el Índice de
Rentabilidad Social (IRS) de 25.91% confirma que por cada sol invertido se generan
significativos beneficios sociales. Este resultado respalda la rentabilidad social y
sostenibilidad integral del proyecto, consolidando a ServiceFlower como un modelo de
innovación social en la industria de rosas peruana.
ServiceFlower presents an innovative solution to optimize the rose supply chain in East Lima, directly connecting producers from Caraz with small and medium-sized flower shops located in districts such as Ate, La Molina, and Santa Anita. Its value proposition eliminates intermediaries, guarantees the delivery of fresh roses within a maximum of 24 hours, reduces acquisition costs and waste, and improves the profitability of flower shops, while simultaneously promoting sustainability and positive social impact. The rose industry in Lima faces significant inefficiencies. Intermediaries increase acquisition costs by 20% to 40%, raising the price per stem from S/2.31 to S/2.80–S/3.20. Likewise, delivery times of two to four days affect product freshness, while waste levels reach 12% to 18%, limiting flower shops’ profit margins to 25%–35%. ServiceFlower addresses these challenges through an optimized logistics system that includes refrigerated transport valued at S/145,000.00 and a collection center in Caraz, ensuring rapid delivery of high-quality roses with a shelf life of seven to ten days and reduced waste of only 5%. The ServiceFlower digital platform, accessible through WhatsApp orders or its website, simplifies inventory management, enables forecasting of seasonal demand, and frees up time for flower shops to focus on creating customized arrangements and providing quality customer service. The benefits are tangible and measurable. Flower shops can increase profit margins up to 45% due to lower costs and reduced waste, strengthening their competitiveness against large retailers. Financial analysis confirms the model’s feasibility, showing an economic Net Present Value (NPV) of S/357,856.42, a financial NPV of S/454,942.85, an economic Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 42.81%, and a financial IRR of 53.83%, reaching the breakeven point in 2.8 years. The Monte Carlo simulation indicates a 92% probability of exceeding an NPV of S/300,000, demonstrating the project’s resilience under adverse scenarios. The initial investment of S/395,508.39 is financed with 60% equity and 40% debt, ensuring the venture’s economic sustainability. ServiceFlower positions itself as a strategic ally for the 300 to 350 flower shops in East Lima, which generate annual revenues between S/18 and S/25 million. With an initial focus on this area, the model shows strong scalability potential toward other regions of Lima and markets such as Arequipa, as well as possible expansion to international destinations like Chile and Colombia. Thus, ServiceFlower is redefining Peru’s rose industry by maximizing profitability, empowering producers and florists, and promoting sustainability transforming the customer experience through the delivery of fresher, higher-quality roses. The social evaluation of the project confirms its positive and sustainable impact. ServiceFlower contributes to decent employment, the reduction of waste with losses of 5%, and the strengthening of local economies, which reach S/508,593.99 in Caraz by the fifth year, in line with SDGs 8 and 12. The Social Net Present Value (SNPV) amounts to S/2,171,095.22, calculated with a discount rate of 8%, demonstrating that social benefits far exceed the annual estimated costs of S/6,408. Furthermore, the Social Return Index (SRI) of 25.91% confirms that for every sol invested, significant social benefits are generated. This result supports the project’s social profitability and overall sustainability, consolidating ServiceFlower as a model of social innovation within Peru’s rose industry.
