Crop Programs

Turn each crop into a reusable growing program

Set up each crop and variety once as a growing program with its stages, timing, expected loss, inputs and outputs, then start every new planting from it instead of from a blank sheet.

What it does

  • Each program holds timing, expected loss and outputs, and estimates what a planting will yield
  • Each stage lists the seed, pots, media and growing space it needs
  • Copy a proven program to a new variety and adjust only what differs
  • Set default activity details per stage, so crew entries start from the program's values

Where it fits

From crop plan to shipped order, for growers and nurseries.

  1. Grow to the order book and the space you have

    A customer's sales order becomes a production plan and released crop lots in one action.

  2. This step

    Start every planting from a proven program

    Each crop and variety is set up once as a growing program, and every new planting starts from it.

  3. Crews record the work where it happens

    Each day's work on a crop is recorded with the inputs, quantities and locations used.

  4. Know what is ready to sell and what it cost

    Finished output from each crop is recorded and released into on hand inventory as sales items and grades.

  5. Ship orders from the right lots

    Lots and warehouse locations are set on each order line, by hand or automatically, so pickers know what to pull.

  6. Build the dashboards your managers watch

    Managers get the numbers they watch every day on dashboards designed in the browser and filed by role.

Questions about crop programs

Straight answers, drawn from what the software does today.

Can we set up a crop once and reuse it?

Yes. Each crop and variety is set up once as a growing program with its stages, timing, expected loss, inputs and outputs, and a proven program can be copied to a new variety, changing only what differs.

Can a program estimate what a planting will yield?

Yes. Each program holds timing, expected loss and outputs, and estimates what a planting will yield.

Can each stage list the seed, pots and space it needs?

Yes. Each stage lists the seed, pots, media and growing space it needs, and default activity details per stage let crew entries start from the program's values.

Crew Work Orders

Give growing crews clear work orders

Build crew work orders from crop lots, from growing locations or from activities already planned, and plan the days ahead from on screen planting and transplanting worksheets.

Crop Lots

Track every planting from first stage to finish

Create each planting as a crop lot from its program in one screen, with its stages, inputs, outputs, dates and quantities built for you, then run it from a single management view.

Finished Plant Availability

Release finished plants into sellable inventory

Record finished output from each crop and release sales items and grades into on hand inventory, while every lot keeps an up to date view of what it is expected to produce.
