The Flower Forwarder, a non-returnable flower/plant shipper, allows growers to expand their delivery radius by eliminating the costly return trip to collect shipping carts. It holds more than 250 pounds per shelf, making it robust and durable for safe transport of horticultural products. Easy assembly and the ability to load from all four sides allows growers to cut staging times. All that is needed for assembly is an industrial stapler.
The Flower Forwarder is manufactured from a moisture-resistant, laminated material that is 100 percent recyclable and biodegradable. Because it is produced and manufactured in the United States, there is only a two-week turnaround time. The Flower Forwarder is customizable by shelf spacing, color and printing configuration.

When a big-box retailer expanded its UPC system, Young’s Plant Farm of Auburn, Ala., wanted a more efficient way to manage their orders. Scan by Cart, developed by Young’s and Practical Software Solutions, uses barcode technology to rebuild sales orders in the Grower Vertical module for Sage 500 ERP software. It generates shipping documents and labels as the product is loaded onto a truck. General Manager Bryan Young said this has reduced their customer receipt errors to less than 1 percent. Young’s won the Sage Customer Award for Innovation in 2011 for Scan by Cart, which is now available to all Grower Vertical customers.
