Variety, origin, quantity, and location.

Farm management software for flower growers
Manage batches of tulips, roses, chrysanthemums, and potted plants—from planting material and crop plans to work, observations, harvest, and results.
A batch matters more than a generic “flowers” row
Variety, planting date, and growth stage determine today’s work
Tulip forcing, chrysanthemum cycles, and potted-plant production require different methods. Gros.farm keeps the plan, work, and observations with each specific batch—from planting material through cutting or readiness for dispatch.
Growing method
Stages, targets, and planned readiness date.
Work
Tasks, observations, and actual conditions.
Result
Harvest, quality, and lessons for the next cycle.
Different production cycles
Adapt records to the crop, not the crop to the system
Assets, stages, metrics, and recurring work follow the actual production method. Tulips, chrysanthemums, and potted plants remain distinct production workflows.

See which variety is growing, where it is, and its current stage
Mirror the production structure: sites, greenhouses, blocks, benches, beds, or rows. Store each batch’s variety, origin, quantity, dates, and current stage.

Crop plan
Guide each batch toward its planned cutting date
Define stages, control metrics, and recurring work in the crop plan. The team sees the current plan while the agronomist compares it with the batch’s actual development.

Stage names and sequences adapt to the crop—from bulb forcing to potted-plant cycles.
Plant development
Spot delays before the cutting date moves
Record stage, height, bud size, uniformity, and photos. The log shows when a batch moved off plan and what happened during that period.

Climate, light, and irrigation
Compare growing conditions with actual batch development
Temperature, humidity, light, and irrigation matter in the context of the crop and its stage. Gros.farm connects available data with work and results, while local automation continues to control equipment independently.

Work and crop protection
Training, inspections, and treatments stay visible across shifts
Planned work comes from the crop plan; urgent work follows an inspection or deviation. Workers see the location, due time, and instructions, while managers see completion and delays.

Cutting and results
Compare the planned date with actual cutting and quality
Save the result with the batch and variety. After the cycle, see where timing changed, what happened to the crop, and what to adjust in the next crop plan.

Gros.farm AI platform
Ask questions about batch history, not scattered spreadsheets
AI uses assets, crop plans, observations, tasks, and metrics as one context. It helps identify discrepancies and prepare hypotheses; the specialist makes the decision.
Explore AI capabilitiesQuestions you can ask your farm data
- Which tulip batches are behind their planned stage?
- Which batches have a changed forecast cutting date?
- What happened to the climate before uniformity declined?
- Which jobs were completed late?
- What should change in the next cycle’s crop plan?

Grower experience
Production knowledge stays on the farm and becomes clear to the whole team
«Automating tulip-growing processes is important and even necessary. I only started using the solution recently, but I can already see how working with data helps.»
«We currently work with the production method we have, but your team is always available and ready to help.»
Your first working setup
Start with one batch of tulips
Add a greenhouse or block, the current stage, and upcoming work. Record actuals for one cycle, then extend the structure to other batches after reviewing it.

Add an asset
A greenhouse, block, bench, bed, or row.
- 02
Create a batch

Questions and answers
About flower farm management software
Which flower crops does Gros.farm support?
Asset structures, batch fields, stages, metrics, and work can be adapted to the farm’s method—for example, tulip forcing, chrysanthemum production, other cut flowers, or potted crops.
Can varieties and batches be managed separately?
Yes. A batch can store its variety, origin, location, quantity, dates, stage, crop plan, tasks, observations, and actual cycle result.
Is this software for flower shops?
No. Gros.farm is built for crop production management: batches, methods, work, observations, and results. Checkout, bouquets, retail delivery, and a shop CRM are a different workflow.
Can we start without sensors or automation?
Yes. The first setup can combine an asset registry, crop plan, tasks, manual observations, and available external weather data. Sensors and integrations can be added later, once their practical value is clear.
Can climate, lighting, and irrigation be connected?
Gros.farm can receive data and connect regimes with crops through available integrations. The exact scope depends on the equipment. Critical control stays with local automation and does not depend on the cloud.
How are cutting and quality recorded?
The actual date, quantity, and quality observations can be stored with the batch and variety. After the cycle, results can be compared with stages, conditions, and completed work.
Can existing spreadsheets and crop plans be imported?
Existing spreadsheets can serve as source material for import. A practical approach is to start with one batch and the current cycle, test the structure in real work, and then scale it.
Does AI replace an agronomist or crop specialist?
No. AI helps find discrepancies, compare cycles, and form hypotheses from the collected context. A specialist validates the data and makes crop decisions.
