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.

A finished plant released for sale

What it does

  • Output activities release finished sales items and grades into on hand inventory
  • Each crop lot keeps its pending output inventory, refreshed whenever its plan or quantities change
  • Change a conversion factor, such as units per square foot, and quantities recalculate
  • Change the lot on a crop's output, and the change carries to the inventory already released

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. 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. This step

    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 finished plant availability

Straight answers, drawn from what the software does today.

When do finished plants become sellable inventory?

Output activities release finished sales items and grades into on hand inventory, and each crop lot keeps its pending output up to date as its plan or quantities change.

Is Argos a fit for a commercial growing business looking for a greenhouse inventory management system that handles production tracking?

Yes. Each crop runs as a tracked crop lot from its program. Crews record each day's work, shrink and moves on the crop as it happens, so growing stock stays true, and output activities release finished sales items and grades into on hand inventory.

What happens to released stock when a crop's lot changes?

Change the lot on a crop's output, and the change carries to the inventory already released.

Do quantities update when a conversion factor changes?

Yes. Change a conversion factor, such as units per square foot, and quantities recalculate.

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.

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.
