Production Planning & Forecasting for Nurseries

For Nurseries & Greenhouses

Plan the season

Resource Planning

Turn sales forecasts and orders into production plans with the labor, materials, and growing space required.

Production Planning

Plan Production Around Demand

Start with what customers need and work backward to determine what to grow and when. Agriware helps you account for growing times, production requirements, and seasonal conditions so planned output is aligned with demand.

Manage all production parameters and schemes in an easy way.
Plan to order or to stock; schedule forward or backward
Auto-calc required materials, labor, and space
Include scrap and germination/yield factors
Compare plan vs. actual and adjust fast

Workforce Planning

Plan Labor for Production

Labor needs change throughout the growing season. Use your production schedule to estimate when and where people are needed, helping you prepare for busy periods and make better use of available teams.

Complete workforce management (including seasonal workers).
See who’s performing — and who isn’t.
Manage labor standards in a very detailed way
Visualize projected vs. actual performance of your workforce

Space Planning

Check Available Growing Space

Compare the space your production plan requires with the space available across greenhouses, fields, or growing areas. This helps you identify capacity conflicts before they disrupt production.

Compare required / available space (per climate regime/configuration)
Allocate by location, section, floor, or bench
Graphical floor plan with utilization/heatmap

Material Planning

Order Materials When Needed

Your production plan determines when trays, pots, substrate, and other materials are needed. Agriware uses planned requirements and purchasing rules to help you prepare orders with the right quantities and lead times.

PO proposals generated from the production plan
Min/max, lot/batch sizes, lead times, and MOQs applied
Plan sourcing of all your materials, both soft goods (seeds, cuttings, young plants) and hard goods (pots, trays)
Create contracts with vendors based on your production forecast

Forecasting

Plan Around Sales Forecasts

Turn expected sales into production requirements and explore different scenarios. You can see how changes in demand may affect labor, growing space, and materials before deciding how to adjust your plans.
