Hi! Ever since we started aspire we have struggled to figure out the best way to handle the items on our seasonal color proposals. I was wondering if anyone has experience with this and has found a way that works well for them. Ideas we have been work shopping are 1)having specific plant names 2)just plant sizes 3)just a plant budget. Each way we have tried has good things and bad things and nothing has worked great.

 

Thanks!

We just finished building our kits for fall color, and the formulas we used worked out perfectly this past year. Everything is based on the square footage of the area, so it automatically calculates the number of flats/flowers needed, along with fertilizer, fungicide, mushroom compost, pine fines, and other materials.

Once the kits are built, you can generate a “Work Ticket Item Sourcing” report and filter it by kit items to determine the total amount of materials needed ahead of the flower installation time.

Feel free to message me if you have any questions. I don’t mind sharing screenshots or hopping on a Zoom call to walk you through the setup if needed. Hope this helps.

I found the sqft based approach to work well too. With the new sub item feature, it becomes a lot easier to sub out a generic catalog item for the specific one you want.
