MyPlantShop

MyPlantShop is inventory, invoicing and customer management for wholesale plant nurseries, and its defining choice is what it leaves out.

The company argues that most accounting providers try to serve every kind of business, producing a broad and overwhelming set of features nobody uses. MyPlantShop instead provides only what a wholesale nursery needs and requires no technical proficiency to operate. That is a real trade rather than marketing, because software a grower can actually run without training is worth more than software that could theoretically do more.

Its case against paper is made in the specific terms a nursery owner will recognise. Paper invoices feel faster until payroll or tax time, when calculating salesman commission or working out how much county tax was collected means going through every invoice by hand. MyPlantShop produces both at the click of a button, which is the point at which the system pays for itself.

Inventory control tracks plants with up to the minute quantities, customer records show immediately who owes money and give current account status, and reports cover sales commission, sales profit, inventory count and projected growth. The system is available around the clock from office, home or mobile device. It was built from the ground up with direct input from multiple nurseries and wholesale growers, with a free account to start and pricing at 99 dollars per month.
