Growing Activities

Record crop work, shrink and moves as they happen

Record each day's work on a crop with the inputs used, the quantities and the locations, and log shrink, dumps, recounts and moves so growing stock stays true.

What it does

  • Record inputs used, outputs, quantities and locations on each stage, day by day
  • Enter an activity once and apply it to every other open stage you select
  • Log shrink, dumps and recounts by location in one step from a stage, and the growing quantity adjusts
  • Move part or all of a crop to another growing location or bin

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. This step

    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 growing activities

Straight answers, drawn from what the software does today.

How is shrink recorded?

Shrink, dumps and recounts adjust the growing quantity by location in one step from a stage, and part or all of a crop can be moved to another growing location or bin.

How are crop work and shrink recorded?

Crews record each day's work on a crop with the inputs used, quantities and locations, and log shrink, dumps, recounts and moves so growing stock stays true.

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.

Can one activity apply to several stages at once?

Yes. Enter an activity once and apply it to every other open stage you select.

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.
