Generic POS systems just don’t cut it in the garden center world. They can’t track plant growth, calculate how many yards of mulch fit in a truck, or handle customers who buy in bulk one day and by the bag the next. Your business is alive, seasonal, and complex. It deserves technology built to match. The RCS Garden Growth Bundle was designed for nurseries and garden retailers, giving you the power to streamline chaos, wow your customers, and turn every season into your most profitable yet.
The Season to Strategize
As fall approaches, garden centers enter one of their most critical seasons for planning and profitability. It’s the time to clear summer stock, promote perennials, and prepare both customers and inventory for winter. It’s also when customer education and loyalty-building set the tone for next year’s success. Managing all of this requires more than guesswork, it requires smart tools.
Built for the Yard, Not Just the Register
Managing inventory across a sprawling garden center is different from traditional retail. Plants live outside. Deliveries arrive by truck. Products vary in shape, weight, and unit of measure. The Garden Growth Bundle is designed for these realities, offering:
- Searchable Botanical Names & Growing Instructions: Locate plants quickly by partial names or filter by sun, soil, and climate requirements.
- Weight & Cube Dimensions: Calculate how much space mulch or soil orders will take up, down to truck bed requirements.
- Alternate Units of Measure: Buy mulch by the ton, sell it by the square foot, no more manual conversions.
- Mobile Inventory Management System (MIMS): Perform live or offline physical counts and receive inventory anywhere, even in areas without Wi-Fi.
Smarter Selling & Stocking
Turn seasonal chaos into a strategic advantage:
- Kitting for Flower Arrangements: Bundle flowers and foliage into bouquets with ease.
- Purchase Advice & Purchase Orders: Know exactly what to restock and when, based on sales trends and configurable recommendations.
- Sales Orders for Delivery & Contractor Quotes: Track delivery fulfillment and provide accurate quotes for landscaping professionals.
