OperoNMS plans your production, space and orders, then follows every batch on the nursery floor. You know what to sow, where it will grow and when it will be ready, before you commit a single tray.
Sowing plans in one spreadsheet, the bed layout on a whiteboard, orders in email, tray counts on paper and quality checks in a notebook. Every one of them is right on the day it was written.
You find out an order is short when the plants are already too young to catch up.
Hardening camps overflow in the same weeks every year, because nobody can see twelve weeks ahead.
Thousands of returnable trays sit at plantations, and nobody knows which customer has them.
A customer queries a load, and finding the batch, the inspection and the delivery note takes a day.
OperoNMS compares your orders with what's growing, allows for losses in every phase, and proposes the batches you need with a sow-by date. Plan forward from sowing or backward from the ready week.
Production planningSee every tunnel, shade house and bed week by week, drawn to scale. OperoNMS checks a batch fits before you commit it, as plants move between phases and need more room.
Space & layoutOrders, quality checks, truck loading and returnable trays in one flow. Every tray scanned onto the truck is matched to its order and its batch, and the delivery note carries the quality result.
Dispatch & qualityFloor teams count, record losses, check quality and load trucks on a rugged Android tablet, with or without signal. Every capture is signed on the device and synced when it's back online.
Floor tabletForesters and customers place orders, ask for delivery, request holds, confirm receipt and arrange tray returns in their own portal. Your phone rings less.
Customer portalA management dashboard with more than 70 measures, from on-time-in-full to rooting rate, built from what the nursery actually recorded. Every list downloads to Excel.
Dashboards & reportsEvery module records what really happened, so the next plan is better. Here is the path one order takes, and who does each step.
Real screens from the system, showing demo data from a fictional forestry nursery group with three nurseries and 35 plantations. Click any screen to see it full size.
Open any tunnel to see which batch sits on which bed, how many trays fit and how much room is left. The optimiser can place waiting batches for you.
How full every camp is this week, coloured by species, with the batches still waiting for a place listed alongside.
Every day OperoNMS compares open orders with what will be ready. Where an order would be short, it proposes a batch with the start quantity, trays and sow-by date.
How many plants are ordered, how many existing stock covers, how many are still to produce, and what is not covered, month by month or for the year.
Orders from your own plantations and from customers, with compartments, plant numbers, reserved stock and stage.
Batches due in the next two weeks, sampled against each species' dispatch specification. A failed batch is blocked from dispatch until it passes.
Every tray movement is a ledger entry: sowing, dispatch, return, washing, breakage and charges. You see which customer has how many trays, and for how long.
The management dashboard measures every nursery against its targets, from what was actually recorded. Click a tile to see the orders or batches behind the number.
Bed labels hang at the end of each bed. Every bed's batches are on the tablet, so this works with no signal.
Dispatches are created on the desk. Loading and "ready" are saved with no signal and synced later.
Labels updated today 06:40 · 1,248 labels · 312 batches
With no signal at sign-in, your six-digit PIN opens capture-only mode.
Interactive: tap the tabs, scan a label, save a count. Example data from the demo nursery.
Your teams count stock, record losses, run quality checks and load trucks on a rugged Android tablet. What they record flows straight back into the plan. Try it: the tablet on this page works.
A small family nursery and a multi-site forestry operation use the same system, just with more modules switched on.

Internal orders from your own plantations and external customer orders sit side by side. OperoNMS checks each one against what's growing and tells you early if it's covered or short.
Plantation foresters and external customers sign in to their own portal. It speaks their language: what's coming, when, and what they need to do next.
Sixteen ready-made roles, each with its own menu. Wherever one person records and another approves, OperoNMS insists they are different people.
Starts the day with reminders: proposals to decide, orders to accept, holds to approve.

The customer's viewOperoNMS does the planning and leaves the bookkeeping to the systems you already use. It works with Excel and barcode scanners, and connects with your ERP or accounting package on request.
IntegrationsHosted in the AWS Cape Town region, with access by role, your own sign-in, and a full record of who changed what.
Security & POPIAMade for nursery managers and growers, not computer experts. We set up your sites, tunnels and beds with you, and train your team.
How onboarding worksWe work closely with a small group of nurseries to set up OperoNMS on their sites. You get hands-on setup and training, your own nursery's layout and recipes loaded with you, and a direct say in what we build next.
