Grower Manager will have you scheduling plantings in no time! With just 5 steps, you can input and prepare your online database, setting variables that reflect your specific crops, methods, and growing environment.

Step 1: Initialize Prepare your new database with your growing operation data such as harvest yield rates, units of measure, bed dimensions, and custom production notes. Define locations including fields and greenhouses. Specify additional resources including trays, containers, and any other resource used by your process, such as plastic sheeting.

Step 2: Import Growing Data Import your crop product identifier data. GM has an easy-to-use spreadsheet importer that will facilitate this step. If you do not have spreadsheet data to import, then you can simply access our database of standard crop data, which is available free of charge. Just copy the products you need.

Step 3: Data Validation You’re only as good as your data! So, use GM’s powerful spreadsheet-like grids to validate and correct the data you have entered. Sort, filter, and use the multi-row updater—you will improve the quality of your production data significantly.

Step 4: Create Planting Schedules Create your planting schedules with the easy Add New Schedule dialog that supports the fast entry of succession plantings or serialized plantings where each plant is tracked individually.

Step 5: Activity Start Lists View, print, and share lists so your team knows what to start, when, and where. Use our remote app to view activity lists.

Step 6: Record Actual Results Recordkeeping screens allow you to report actual results, including quantities and dates. Also, lot numbers may be entered for each milestone step in the process. Use our remote app to report actual results.

Grower Planning & Scheduling

Growing is a complicated business. There are numerous variables—both controllable and not—that come into play in determining how much you can produce and when it will be ready for market. But Grower Manager takes the guesswork out of planning and scheduling, simplifying and streamlining the process. When events don’t happen as planned, GM will help you adjust the current plan—all activity lists and other views of the schedule are automatically updated.

  • Use Crop Scheduling to break your plan down into individual plantings; the robust database helps ensure that you will have sufficient key resources—greenhouse space, labor, cash on hand, etc.—when you need them.
  • Use Crop Planning to look at your existing markets, as well as new opportunities, and determine what crops you can and want to deliver each month.
Your custom growing templates streamline this process for you, collecting planting parameters and process notes. Look ahead and adjust your plans for key resource conflicts. React to changing circumstances by quickly adjusting your schedule—all reports are immediately and automatically updated whenever a change is made.
