The realities of ERP implementations for greenhouse growers

As greenhouse growers experience success and business activity spikes, they often find the software they deployed to start up the business can longer keep up. Employees get frustrated, spending extra time chasing down information to process customer orders. Even worse, retailer customers may not get the plants and flowers they want when they want them.

That’s when it’s time to consider implementing an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution.

This article highlights the realities behind an ERP implementation to help greenhouse growers understand the overall process and what to expect. Just like any enterprise application, an ERP solution is a major undertaking. But with the proper planning and resources, growers can ensure their deployment goes as smoothly as possible.

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) improves the efficiency and effectiveness of your business processes while also providing real-time data and reporting capabilities. The leading solutions offer functionality for every aspect of a greenhouse — from cultivation to supply chain, inventory, order fulfillment, accounting, and financial management.
