What can Winplant help your team do?

Start with the questions behind a real crop list and order. Winplant can be configured in different ways, so use a walkthrough to confirm the tools and modules that fit your nursery.

Can we track crops by location and readiness?

Yes. Inventory can be kept as one record per item sold or tracked by location, planting date, ready date, and readiness indicator. Teams can record moves, upsizing, photos, and notes.

Can an order be allocated to planned crops?

Winplant describes allocation options for inventory already on hand and for planned inventory that has not been planted yet. Ask to follow a real order through those decisions.

Can customers order online?

Optional web ordering lets customers view, edit, and create orders. Winplant also describes an option for new customers to order directly, with controls set by the nursery.

How do pulling and loading work in the field?

Winplant offers Android mobile tools for electronic pull lists, truck loading, and rack tracking. Bring a short count or changed order to a walkthrough to see the handoff in practice.

What helps with routes and proof of delivery?

Visual routing groups orders and helps plan stop sequence and directions. Mobile features include pre-delivery text notifications and driver-captured signatures.

Does Winplant cover production and purchasing?

Production planning covers future planting and the materials required. Purchasing supports purchase orders and records preferred vendors and current item prices.

What reporting and accounting options are available?

Can it support retail as well as wholesale?

Retail options include point of sale, multi-site inventory, scanning, signatures, and card processing. Retail inventory can be kept separate from wholesale inventory by location.

Do we have to adopt everything at once?
