Margin per batch

“Price on facts, not on feel.”

See what a plant actually cost to grow — and what a stem cost to cut — so the margin on a batch or a bunch recipe is a fact rather than a feeling. See demand from enquiries, open orders and marketplace views against the stock you’ve got coming, and get told before you run low.

On your nursery

£1.86 to grow, sold at £4.20 trade. That’s the batch’s own number, not a guess from last year’s list.

What’s behind it

Three things doing the work.

  • 01Batch costing → cost per plant, with materials, labour and overhead
  • 02Margin shown per batch and per bunch recipe
  • 03Demand from enquiries, orders and marketplace views, readiness and what-to-grow-next
  • 04Reports for any date range — sales by customer and by plant, margin, write-offs — out as CSV
The alternative

What you’d be doing instead.

  • vs a spreadsheetIt does the maths and never goes stale.Availability, cost and stock update themselves — and won’t promise the same plant twice.
  • vs generic e-commerceIt speaks horticulture.Maturity gates, batches, passports, grades, stems and bunches — not a plant bolted onto a T-shirt shop.
  • vs five separate toolsOne stock record behind the lot.Your website, accounts and card reader, connected to one stock record that actually talks to itself.
