The Stem Inventory page, recreated from the live platform — harvested, wasted, sold and available by variety on desktop, with harvests logged from the field on iPhone.
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 graded stems to inventory. Every bouquet sold deducts the recipe's stems from the right variety. Every discarded stem is logged as waste — with a reason.
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, waste by reason and production by channel — the data a grower needs to make better decisions before planting the next year.
From daily harvest to seasonal insight.
Crop master list
Categories, crops and varieties in one clean list — so every harvest, waste entry and sale ties to the same names all season.
Harvest logging
Multi-line entries by variety with stem counts and quality grades — plus time spent, allocated across lines automatically.
Live stem inventory
Available stems by variety, recalculated from every harvest, waste and production entry — no counting buckets in the cooler.
Waste & shrink tracking
Losses logged by variety and reason — damaged, disease, pests, weather or unsold — kept separate from sales numbers.
Bouquet recipes
Define compositions by variety and stem count. Sell a bouquet and the right stems leave inventory automatically.
Production & sales
Bouquet and wholesale-stem entries by sales channel, with the time spent making bouquets or preparing each sale.
Quality grading
Premium, standard or short — stems graded at harvest, so you know what's sellable, not just what was cut.
Seasonal analytics
Harvested vs. sold vs. wasted by week and by variety — the visibility a flower farm needs to plan the next season.
Clean inputs make honest numbers.
Screens recreated from the live platform. The crop master list keeps every category, crop and variety consistent across the season — and every loss is logged against the right variety with a reason, so shrink data actually means something at year-end.
The Crop Master List — every variety planted on the farm, organized by category and crop so reporting stays clean all season.
The Waste & Shrink page — losses by variety and cause, tracked separately from sales so poor handling never hides in the numbers.
Sell a bouquet, and the stems follow.
Bouquet recipes define exactly which stems each product uses. Log twelve bouquets sold at the farmers' market and the platform deducts every stem from the right variety — wholesale stem sales work the same way, by channel.
The Bouquet Production & Sales page — one entry records the sale, the labour time and the exact stems deducted from inventory.
The whole farm, in your back pocket.
Log the morning's harvest at the field edge, record the bouquets you just sold from the market stall, and check what's left in the cooler before taking another order. Everything works on iPhone — same data, same single source of truth.
From planting list to seasonal insight, every record connects.
