Verified in production
PRODUCE™ is a big improvement in production planning for our company. The biggest upgrade for us is the ability to link space planning with production planning. The support is good, and we are able to have detailed conversations with people who understand our challenges and work-flows. The leadership at Silver Fern has a wealth of industry knowledge and first-hand experience.

Problems we solve

What goes wrong, and the module that fixes it.

01

The same bench gets promised to two crops, and nobody catches it in time.

PRODUCE™ Space capacity is planned by week and space type, so you see what's booked before committing a crop.
02

Several crop turns share the same bench, tracked on a paper schedule.

PRODUCE™ Recipes carry grow weeks and yields, so every turn is visible from plug to finish.
03

Spring production numbers are a gut call.

FORECAST™ Demand is modeled on your own sales history.
04

Stores sell out while the reorder waits on a spreadsheet.

RESTOCK™ Replenishment orders are written from each store's live demand, rounded to carts, in one session.

Availability, answered

Stop selling by callback.

Today, an availability question by text takes four hours and six messages, and the count is wrong anyway. With PORTAL™, a customer searches geranium 4.5, sees 312 available live, and reserves 40 in about eleven seconds with zero phone calls.

Asked by greenhouse & color growers

The questions that come up most.

Can it plan production from plug to finished bench?
Yes. Production recipes carry grow-week and yield, and space capacity is planned by week, so every turn of the house is visible on one record.
Does availability update as crops finish?
It does. Availability updates in real time on every order line, so sales sells what production can actually ship this week.
How do you handle the spring rush?
FORECAST™ models demand on your own sales history, and RESTOCK™ writes store orders from live demand in a single session.
We ship to big-box too. Is that handled?
Natively. EDI and pay-by-scan run through the same record as production, scan-to-invoice at the dock.
