Grower Vertical for Sage 500 ERP
The Grower Vertical module for Sage 500 ERP was developed to address the specialized needs in the horticultural industry for a fully-integrated business system. Typical business systems cannot account for the nuances of producing live products with various production cycles based on the season. Nor can they appropriately account for the fact that inventory might die and greatly swing the yield of a particular item or crop. Most systems available for this industry lack complete integration between production, inventory, shipping, financials, etc. Nor are they backed and supported by a strong organization such as Sage.
Making good decisions with systems that are not tied together is difficult. Working with a financial system, an inventory system, and a production system that looks a lot like a spreadsheet does not allow for accurate and timely information. If you want to track cost more accurately or better forecast product sales, the lifecycle of your finished items does not allow for slow decisions.
Whether you grow and sell ornamentals, plugs or vegetables, Sage 500 ERP, combined with Grower Vertical, gives you the capabilities to handle financials, inventory, shipping, logistics planning, production, and wireless warehouse management all in one system.
