How Business Central Manages Garden Center POS, Wholesale and Installation:

Define planting schedules by variety, date, and greenhouse location. Schedule and record potting, pruning, fertilizing, and watering tasks. Automate production posting so inventory updates the moment a crop reaches sale readiness.

Inventory and bill of material tracking for plugs, liners, whips, soils, trays, flats, pots and grow bags. Batch and lot tracking for each plant size, species, and production run. Buy and sell unlimited units of measure for bulk mulches, stone, soils, gravel and composts as well as palleted, boxed, blended or mixed products. Alerts for low-stock or expiring items to prevent lost sales or waste. Inventory is tracked for all locations simultaneously so the garden center pos, landscape supply yard, and wholesale orders desk never overpromise and underdeliver.

Advanced forecasting tools analyze historical sales and lead times. Automated reorder points trigger purchase orders for seeds, liners, and supplies. Scenario planning lets you model “what-if” demand surges or supplier delays.

Map greenhouse bays and bench space digitally, linking space requirements to each crop. Calculate labor needs for upcoming potting or transplanting cycles. Optimize use of hanging-basket racks and shade structures.

Full accounting is built into the system. Built-in general ledger, budgeting, and cash-flow forecasting tailored for seasonal businesses. Automated bank reconciliation and multi-company consolidations. Automatic tracking and insights on each part of the business: garden center pos, landscape supply yard, delivered products, and installation projects.
