The problem

Running a nursery on five disconnected systems is killing your margin.

Spreadsheets, paper, WhatsApp, an ageing horticulture system, and an accountant glued together by hope. Sound familiar?

Compliance risk that bites

Plant passports issued from spreadsheets. Traceability gaps no one notices until DEFRA does. One audit and you're paying for it twice.

£1,000–£5,000 per non-compliance penalty

Quotes lost in inboxes

Quote requests sit in WhatsApp threads and personal emails. By the time they're priced, the customer's gone elsewhere or the stock's moved.

10+ hours/week on manual follow-ups

Office and field out of sync

Sales sells what isn't there. The yard ships what was just sold. Re-counts, re-issues, refunds, apologies — every week, on repeat.

60% of delivery errors trace back to stock drift
The PlantDesk way

One platform. Supplier to sale. No gaps.

PlantDesk is the operational backbone for modern nurseries — the office, the yard, and the compliance trail, finally on the same page.

Compliance, built in

Plant passports and DEFRA audits, on autopilot.

Compliance is non-negotiable — but it shouldn't cost you a day a week. PlantDesk turns plant passports and traceability from a risk into something you barely think about.

  • Plant passports generated automatically on every dispatch — no manual templates, no missed fields.
  • Every batch is traceable from supplier receipt to final sale, with photo and timestamp evidence.
  • DEFRA inspector mode: produce a full audit pack for any date range in under a minute.
  • Locked, versioned records — even your team can't accidentally overwrite a compliance trail.

Quote-to-cash, on one page.

Stop bouncing between a spreadsheet, your inbox and three browser tabs to price one order. PlantDesk pulls live stock into every quote, every invoice, every customer record — so you sell what you actually have, at the right price.

  • Quote in seconds, not hours
    Pull from live stock, apply trade pricing tiers, send a branded pro-forma — without leaving the page.
  • Batches, not just SKUs
    Track every pot, plug and pallet by batch — costed, traceable, and tied to its passport.
  • Cash flow you can see
    Live AR, overdue alerts and one-click chase emails. Stop carrying customers without knowing it.
  • Get paid faster with Stripe built in
    Send an invoice, customer pays online, payment auto-reconciles in PlantDesk — and from Stripe it flows to every major accounting tool in one click.

Field app

The yard, on every phone.

Your field team doesn't want a 200-tab desktop app — they want the next job, in big buttons, on the phone in their pocket. That's what PlantDesk Mobile is.

  • Barcode picking, not paper sheets
    Scan to pick. Photos auto-attach. The office sees it the second it ships.
  • The whole team uses it without training
    Big tap targets, plain-English screens, the next job front-and-centre. New starters are productive on day one.
  • Live load lists
    Drivers know what's loaded, what's missing, and what's been signed for — without a single phone call.
  • Photo evidence, attached forever
    Every dispatch carries its proof. No more disputes, no more refunds you can't defend.

Switch with confidence

Built to replace the system you've outgrown.

You shouldn't have to bend your nursery to fit your software. PlantDesk migrates your data, mirrors your workflow, and gets your whole team productive in days — not quarters.

If you're on

Grow Master

Bought, parked, and quietly winding down. Updates have stopped. Support tickets gather dust. You're managing a £2M nursery on a system you can't trust to be there next year.

What changes

Migrate in 14 days. We import your stock, batches, customers and historical invoices. Your team is up and running before your next renewal date.

If you're on

Picas / Passfield / spreadsheets

Powerful but ancient. Per-seat pricing means only the office uses it. The yard's on paper, sales is on email, and nobody trusts the stock screen on a Friday afternoon.

What changes

Unlimited users on every plan. The whole nursery — office, yard, drivers — on the same live data, for one flat price.

If you're on

Spreadsheets + WhatsApp

It's worked until now. But you're one missed plant passport, one bad audit, or one key person leaving away from a real problem. And growth means more of the chaos, faster.

What changes

Keep your data, lose the risk. Drag-and-drop CSV import, no IT project required. Most nurseries are live in under a week.

"Before PlantDesk, half our information lived in our heads and the other half in spreadsheets. Now nothing gets chased twice — and our admin workload is down by around 40%."

FAQ

The honest answers to the questions you're already asking.

We do the heavy lifting. Our team copies your live data — stock, batches, customers, suppliers, open POs and historical orders — straight from your existing system into PlantDesk. We build a smart view of your legacy orders so your DEFRA audit trail stays unbroken across the switch. Most nurseries are running in 7–14 days, with zero downtime to your day-to-day operation. The £1,500 onboarding fee is waived for customers on annual billing.

PlantDesk has Stripe built in. Send an invoice from PlantDesk, your customer pays online, and the moment Stripe confirms the payment, PlantDesk flips the order to ready for fulfilment and dispatch — no chasing, no manual reconciliation. From Stripe, every transaction syncs to your accounting software (Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, FreeAgent and others) in one click. You keep one source of truth; your accountant keeps theirs.

Easier than you think. Our team handles the import: stock, batches, customers, historical invoices and any open POs. Most nurseries are running on PlantDesk within 7–14 days, with zero downtime to your day-to-day operation. No IT project required.

Yes — and we mean it. Whether you have 5 staff or 50, the price doesn't change. Unlimited office users, unlimited yard users, unlimited drivers. We don't believe charging you for adopting your own software is a healthy business model.

Your data is yours, and it's serious about staying that way. PlantDesk is hosted on enterprise-grade UK and EU cloud infrastructure with end-to-end TLS encryption in transit, encryption at rest, role-based access control, automated daily backups with point-in-time recovery, and continuous monitoring. The underlying platform is independently certified to ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II, and complies fully with UK GDPR. You can export everything you've put in, in standard formats, at any time — no lock-in.

PlantDesk is purpose-built for UK trade nurseries between £500k and £5M revenue, typically 5–30 staff, often with a wholesale-led model and field operations. If you're smaller and growing, we'll grow with you. If you're larger and multi-site, talk to us about Growth & Commerce.

Run your nursery — properly.

30-minute demo, tailored to your operation. We'll show you exactly how PlantDesk handles your stock, your compliance and your team — using your real data.
