Yard · the operations layer · $449/mo billed annually
It runs the whole yard.
Inventory, orders, pick lists, spray records, the crew's day, losses, forecasting — the operations software a wholesale nursery never had, with the live buyer portal on top. Set up in ten minutes, not ten months.
Yard is everything in Portal — the live ordering portal, tier pricing, the blast, the embed — plus everything on this page. What's in Portal → Watch an order land →
Inventory
Every number explains itself — availability isn't a typed-in guess, it's a ledger you read line by line.
The ledger drawer
Click any item: opening count, every reservation, every loss, every correction — who, when, why. Trust the number because you can audit it.
Batches with ready dates
“500 Hydrangea #5, ready week of June 8” shows buyers Coming Soon today, takes pre-orders if you allow it, and flips itself live on the date.
5-second loss logging
Dead, damaged, eaten, frozen — log it from a phone in the yard before your gloves are back on. Season write-off report for the accountant, automatic.
QR yard tags
Print a tag for any item or crop block. Scan it and you're two taps from logging a loss, fixing a count, flipping a batch live — or snapping a photo that lands on the portal.
Plants that know what they are
Sun or shade, tree or groundcover, deciduous or evergreen — on every plant, in one dropdown each, set across a whole filtered group at once. Then your landscapers filter your list by them.
Purchase orders & receiving
Order from a vendor, then check the truck in against the PO — counts received to date, shorts in writing. Received stock lands on the availability list as ledger lines carrying the unit cost and PO number, so “what did we pay for these?” finally has an answer.
Crew
The day's work, on the phones of the people doing it.
The crew's task sheet
Hand out the day's work — including “pick order #1042”, which lands on that person's phone and closes itself when the pick is done. Everyone sees what's unclaimed, so loose jobs get picked up instead of dropped.
Pick lists, packing slips & truck manifests
Every order prints what the yard needs: a pick list with pull-from locations, a packing slip for the buyer, and on delivery day the truck manifest — every stop in loading order, a tick box per line, a signature per drop.
Feed & spray records
Every crop gets a feeding schedule and a spraying schedule — or write the sequence once as a program and put it on every crop in the house in one go. Product, rate, EPA number, re-entry hours on every step. One button prints the inspector-ready report: every application across the yard, your licence numbers on top, a signature line at the foot.
Selling
The orders that don't come through the portal land in the same place as the ones that do.
Wake the quiet accounts
Yardsheet flags regulars who've gone quiet, with a one-tap nudge that sends them the live list. Recovered accounts are the cheapest revenue there is.
Orders read themselves off the page
Photograph the fax, drop the PDF, paste the email — AI drafts the order against your own catalog and prices, and a person approves it. Nothing is ordered until you say so, and every order keeps the document it came from.
QuickBooks invoice export
Completed orders export as a CSV that QuickBooks imports as invoices — buyer, lines, prices, terms. Nothing gets retyped from the pick list into the books.
Planning
What to start growing next, with receipts.
Planning & forecasting
Your order history becomes sell-out dates, pipeline gaps, and suggested batch quantities — padded by each item's real loss rate. Know what to start growing, with receipts.
Season write-off report
The shrink report for the accountant builds itself from the losses log — every loss tapped in from the yard, with its reason and its date, ready to hand over at season's end.
Built-in help, on every screen
Sprout sits in the corner of every screen: ask how to do something in plain words and it answers from how Yardsheet actually works, then offers to walk you through it on your own data. When a question is about your numbers or your account, it hands off to a real person instead of guessing.
Fair questions
What growers ask about the yard side.
We keep our spray records in a binder. Does this replace it?
It does, and it does it while you're standing at the crop. Each batch gets a feeding schedule and a spraying schedule — product, rate, how it went on, the EPA or PCP number off the jug, and the re-entry interval. Put a spray on the schedule and tick it done and the record writes itself, with your name and the time on it. Until the interval clears, the crop's card says “don't go in until 1:14pm” — the one thing a binder in the office can't tell the person walking into the house. And when someone official asks, one button prints the whole record — every application for the year, your licence numbers at the top, a signature line at the bottom. And the sequence you run every spring can be a program — written once, applied to fifty crops at a time.
We run our own truck. Does it help with deliveries?
It does. Deliveries shows every confirmed delivery order shelved by the day it goes out — today, tomorrow, this week. Print the day's manifest and the driver has every stop in loading order with the address, the contact's phone, a tick box per line and a “Received by” line per drop. Mark each stop delivered when the truck comes back and the order completes the normal way. It doesn't plan routes — your driver knows the roads better than software does.
A landscaper faxed us an order. Seriously, a fax.
Photograph it. The reader pulls out the buyer, the plants, the sizes and the quantities, matches them to your catalog at that buyer's prices, and hands you a draft with the fax on screen beside it. You fix anything it got wrong and hit approve — that's when it becomes an order, and not a second before. It works the same for PDFs and forwarded emails.
We're a re-wholesale yard — we buy more than we grow. Does this fit?
It does now. Keep your vendors on file, raise a purchase order, and when the truck shows up enter what actually came off it — counts received to date, so a short load or a split delivery is just another line, not an argument. Everything received lands on your availability list the moment you count it, as ledger entries carrying the unit cost and the PO number, and a received PO is a permanent record you can print. Buying in and growing on sit on the same honest list — your buyers can't tell the difference, and you finally know what you paid for what's on the pad.
