Following on from the success of the Growflo ERP in the UK & Irish markets, Growflo launches its first ERP to US wholesale house plant supplier, Cascade Tropicals.
Growflo designed and developed the system around the specific requirements of the Cascade operation. The ERP significantly reduces administrative tasks, integrates with QuickBooks, and, being fully cloud-based, eliminates the need for on-site servers while reducing licensing and maintenance costs. The system can be securely accessed from any location through a standard web browser.
Alongside the ERP, Growflo designed, developed, and integrated a custom Android app that works with barcode scanners to simplify order management, purchase orders, and stock picking throughout the greenhouse. Complementing the ERP and mobile app, Growflo also created an integrated trade webshop and a new marketing website. With the ERP acting as the hub of this four-way integration, the deployment demonstrated the flexibility and capability of the Growflo platform.
Andrej Suske of Cascade Tropicals commented: "The new Growflo ERP is already making a very big difference in how we operate. We really like how it was developed around our specific needs. The modern web-based interface is so easy to access and use, so my team enjoy using it day-to-day. We also like how it integrates the custom-built Growflo Android app and scanner, as well as the webshop and website. It's a fully connected system."
2020 looked set to build on the success of 2019, with further Growflo system launches planned across both the UK and the United States.
Growflo Managing Director Alan Brown said: "2019 was an extremely busy and important year for Growflo. As well as continuing to expand our foothold in the UK market, we also took Growflo to the US market, where we are seeing a similar appetite for innovative, flexible solutions. 2020 looks set to see a continuation of this growth in both markets, and an expansion of the team back in Belfast to meet the demand."
