Cut-flower operations are deceptively complex
A cut-flower farm manages dozens of varieties across multiple growing cycles, each with different harvest schedules, stem counts, shelf lives and price points. Add bouquet recipes that draw from multiple varieties simultaneously, and the inventory tracking problem gets complicated fast.
Standard farm management tools are built for row crops and grain — not for tracking stems, recipes and shrink percentages by variety across a season. Spreadsheets work for a few weeks, then break under the weight of daily entries from multiple people.
Without accurate shrink data, it's impossible to know whether losses are coming from production, handling or demand — and impossible to make better decisions for the next season.
Built around how a flower farm actually moves product
The Flower Ledger is structured around the core units of a cut-flower operation: varieties, harvests, bouquet recipes and sales. Every harvest adds stems to inventory. Every bouquet sold deducts the recipe's stems from the right variety. Every unsold stem that's discarded is logged as shrink.
The result is accurate, live inventory by variety at all times — and a clean audit trail that shows exactly where every stem went throughout the season.
Seasonal dashboards show harvest totals, sellable yield percentages, shrink by variety and revenue by product — the data a grower needs to make better decisions before planting the next year.
From daily harvest to seasonal insight.
Harvest logging
Record daily harvests by variety and stem count — the raw data behind every inventory and performance calculation.
Real-time stems inventory
Live sellable stem count by variety, updated automatically as harvests, sales and waste are recorded.
Bouquet recipes
Define bouquet compositions by variety and stem count. When a bouquet is sold, stems are deducted from inventory automatically.
Shrink & waste tracking
Log production losses at the variety level. Shrink is tracked separately so you can see the real difference between poor harvests and poor handling.
Seasonal analytics
Harvested vs. sold vs. wasted by week and by variety — the visibility a flower farm needs to plan the next season.
Multi-variety support
Manage any number of flower varieties with their own harvest cycles, shelf lives and bouquet uses.
Harvest logs, dashboard and mobile.
Running a farm or production operation?
If your operation involves daily inventory movement, production recipes or seasonal analytics, a purpose-built system can replace the spreadsheets and give you data you can actually plan with.
