Nursery Production
Management
ABECAS Insight Nursery production management
software IS designed for the floriculture
and horticulture industries. Argos
Software’s ABECAS Insight provides a
complete and focused solution for the
nursery industry. This production management
system includes integrated accounting sales
planning and production planning. The
production management module is designed
specifically for the green grower industry.
Production management software will provide
visibility of future inventory based on
planned growing processes and inputs. It
also provides both the planned usages of
input items and the planned completion of
the finished item. These planned inputs and
outputs are integrated in and have
visibility to the sales personnel. Different
production processes may be automatically
selected based on seasonal differences in
the growing process.

Nursery Plant
Production
The plant production process may be
initiated from a sales order or a sales plan
may be prepared using previous actual sales
period or periods' actual sales. The
production planning process may also use
prior period plans as the basis for future
planning. Once the production plan is
finalized then the plan may be released to
production.

Production Planning
Data Analysis
Greenhouse growers and nurseries need
production planning capabilities. Random
data collection processes and an ability to
analyze data are included. This allows
collection of data about plant
characteristics and then determining the
characteristics for the sample production
group. The process determines the number of
samples, the production unit size and the
characteristics to be measured. The number
of required data samples to be taken and
where those samples should be taken is
created so that samples may be taken. In
addition planned versus actual production
reporting is accomplished so that
comparisons can be made of planned versus
actual production.

Nursery Growing
Processes
Growing steps (stages) are user defined and
include the amount of time necessary, inputs
that are required and when outputs are
planned to be completed. There is flexible
reporting using a .net grid and pivot table
to be able to refine data. As production
stages are completed the actual losses are
compared to planned losses. Both production
planning and plan execution are fully
integrated and work in conjunction with
sales inventory so complete real time
inventory is maintained including future
inventory. Reporting and analysis of
capacity usages is an integral part of the
growing process.
