What HortiBench does for your nursery

HortiBench can reduce your costs through better allocation and management of resources. It will reduce waste and give a higher utilization of your nursery space. By comparing several possible production plans HortiBench helps you to identify and quantify the best solution.

HortiBench lets users maximize profits by identifying the best mix of products for their fixed capacity space, be it protected or open fields. It is ideal where a nursery grows a big range of plant species and varieties, each with their own growing characteristics, requirements and market possibilities.

Modular

HortiBench is a modular software application which offers everything your nursery needs for production planning, whether you are a small family nursery or an international nursery with multiple sites. The Production Planner starting module will be enough for the smaller nursery, and a range of add-on modules serves the bigger ones. This also provides a gradual learning curve and a spread financial investment.

Add-on modules: the Space & Locations Planner, the Staff & Tasks Planner, the Orders & Prices Planner, the Truck & Trolley Planner, the Track & Trace Module and the AI Optimization Module.
