Across greenhouse operations, growers are drowning in complex webs of spreadsheets that no single person fully understands anymore. Most operations juggle dozens of separate files just for production planning. In an already complex industry, spreadsheets make it overwhelming. That’s why Advanced Grower Solutions has introduced PRODUCE.
PRODUCE: Purpose-Built for Greenhouse Realities
What if there was software designed specifically for the unique challenges of growing living inventory — one that lets growers adapt plans on the fly when the inevitable changes happen? PRODUCE is production planning software created alongside real growers who were tired of fighting the same daily battles is the answer.
Visual Space Planning: Unlock Hidden Capacity
Space is one of growers’ most valuable assets, yet traditional planning methods leave capacity untapped and conflicts unresolved until it’s too late. PRODUCE gives growers a visual of their greenhouse capacity over time so they can make informed decisions about every square foot.
With PRODUCE, growers can:
- Identify and resolve space conflicts before they happen.
- Optimize transitions between crops and discover underutilized space.
- Test new programs without guesswork.
- Plan multi-site operations with coordinated timing.
- Test spacing scenarios to see what works best for unique growing environments.
Task Orchestration: Prioritize What Matters
Transform daily chaos into organized action with intelligent reporting and automated data capture. PRODUCE combines advanced reporting capabilities with automated production tracking to give every team member exactly the information they need, when they need it.
Automated Production Tracking with COUNTc
No more manual counting or guesswork about actual production progress. COUNTc captures production data as trays come off lines, automatically updating progress in PRODUCE.
This real-time integration provides:
- Automatic production counts against scheduled jobs.
- Labor performance tracking and visual dashboards to help production teams execute efficiently.
- Live metrics for immediate course corrections.
- Elimination of data entry errors and time-consuming manual counts.
Instead of unpredictable under-or-over-production and constant firefighting, work from a steady, prioritized schedule.
