    Labor is one of the most critical and costly resources in horticulture. Our planning tools integrate crop timelines with labor and material needs to ensure everything is available when it’s needed.

    Can I use PAT planning for multiple crops with different cultivation times?
    Absolutely. Our planning system was specifically built to handle the complexity of growing multiple crops with unique requirements. You can define crop-specific templates that include individual growth stages, custom durations, and resource needs such as space, labor, or irrigation. Whether you're managing fast-turning varieties or long-cycle crops across seasons, PAT ensures your timelines remain accurate, organized, and aligned without the need for manual adjustments. It’s ideal for growers with diverse portfolios who need flexible, yet standardized planning logic.
    How flexible is the planning tool? Can I adjust schedules manually?
    Yes, very easily. While our engine generates optimized plans based on your configurations, you retain full control. You can adjust any step manually, whether it's shifting a planting date, changing a phase duration, or reallocating labor. The system instantly recalculates the downstream effects, such as updated material requirements or new labor needs. This dynamic adjustment means you can respond quickly to unexpected delays, weather events, or shifts in demand, without losing overall alignment in your production cycle.
    Does it support planning across multiple locations or companies?
    Yes, multi-site and multi-company planning is fully supported. PAT is designed for growers who operate across several production sites, regions, or even countries. You can set up each location with its own configurations, including resources, crop profiles, and planning rules, while still managing everything within one centralized platform. Whether you want to plan locally at each site or run a top-down centralized schedule, the system adapts to your operational model. It’s ideal for larger groups, holding structures, or contract growers who need consistent planning across borders.
    Is it possible to integrate PAT Planning with other software, sensors or machinery?
    Absolutely! Integration is a core part of our solution. PAT provides differet APIs and an optional middleware to support the connection with third-party systems, greenhouse climate computers, sensors, seedling assment systems, stickings- and sowing-lines, robots and other machinery. This allows data to flow seamlessly between systems, for example, syncing environmental data with crop stages, or sharing forecast numbers with your commercial teams. We believe that planning shouldn't exist in isolation, and our flexible integration architecture ensures your digital ecosystem stays connected and future-proof.
