Agriculture · Software for hydroponic and greenhouse farms

Record every nutrient reading, crop cycle and harvest lot from tray to buyer.

A hydroponic farm sells leaves, fruit and herbs that were grown in water, under glass or film, to a fixed timetable. The software holds bay maps, seeding and transplant dates, reservoir readings, scouting notes and harvest lots. Standing orders from kitchens and shops are matched to the crop that will be ready.

At a glance

A greenhouse is run by numbers that change every hour. Reservoir conductivity, pH, air temperature and humidity are checked on rounds, written on a clipboard and read again only when a crop looks wrong. Growers carry most of it in their heads.

Software for hydroponic and greenhouse farms starts from the bay and the crop cycle. Each tray seeded, raft moved and box packed is logged against its bay, so when a buyer asks about one lot the answer comes straight from the records.

How the work runs today

The grower walks the bays before sunrise. Reservoirs are tested for EC and pH, stock tanks A and B are topped up, and the dosing pump settings are checked against the recipe for that crop. Scouts check leaf undersides for thrips, whitefly and mildew, and note the bay and row. Seedling trays are moved from the propagation room to the channels or rafts on the planned day, and a transplant is logged with tray counts and the variety.

Harvest starts in the afternoon for next-morning delivery. Pickers cut lettuce heads, basil bunches or tomato trusses to the buyer’s spec, and the pack house weighs, labels and chills each box with a lot code. Dispatch loads the van against the day’s orders. Short deliveries and rejected boxes are noted. Then the grower plans which bays to seed next, working back from the standing orders.

Where it breaks

What goes wrong for hydroponic and greenhouse farms without a proper system.

Reservoir readings live on clipboards

EC, pH and water temperature are written per reservoir on paper. When a crop yellows, nobody can lay the last fourteen days of readings next to the dosing changes.

Seeding is not planned from orders

A restaurant group wants forty kilos of basil every Thursday. The grower seeds by habit, so some weeks the bays run short and in others a whole raft is thrown away.

Harvest lots cannot be traced back

A retailer rejects a box of lettuce and asks which bay, which cut date and which nutrient batch it came from. Nobody can answer without hunting through three notebooks.

Scouting notes never reach a decision

A scout sees early mildew in bay 4, tells the grower in passing, and the spray that follows is not recorded. The next scout cannot tell whether the treatment worked.

Packing losses stay unexplained

Trimmings, rejects and boxes left unsold after the last van leaves are counted loosely. Yield per square metre is guessed, so planting choices rest on memory.

What the software does

What we would build for hydroponic and greenhouse farms.

Named the way your team already talks about the work. We start with whichever part the audit shows is costing you most.

Bay and system map

Define each bay with its system, such as NFT channels, deep water rafts, drip grow bags or vertical towers, plus its reservoir and the crop currently planted in it.

Crop cycle planner

Plan seeding, germination, transplant and harvest dates per variety, and work backwards from standing orders to see how many trays must be sown this week.

Nutrient and climate log

Record EC, pH, reservoir temperature, air temperature and humidity per round, with recipe changes and the stock tank batch used. Readings outside the grower’s own limits raise an alert.

Scouting and treatment record

Scouts log pests and disease by bay and row with photographs. Each treatment notes the product, dose, re-entry period and harvest interval, so pickers can see which rows are still closed.

Harvest, pack and lot codes

Pickers record weight cut per bay. The pack house labels boxes with a lot code that links back to the bay, cut date and nutrient recipe.

Standing orders and dispatch

Hold weekly orders from kitchens, shops and wholesalers with their pack sizes and delivery slots. Dispatch prints the load sheet and records rejections and short deliveries.

Inputs and consumables stock

Track seed, rockwool cubes, net pots, nutrient salts, packaging film and clamshells against purchase orders, with reorder levels for the items that stop a cycle when they run out.

Each one is also available on its own, or inside a system built for you.

How it works

How the work runs from Bengaluru for your city.

  1. 1

    The audit, by call

    A screen-share and a look at the sheets, accounting reports and WhatsApp groups your team uses. No travel needed.

  2. 2

    A written proposal

    Scope, what we build first and the cost, agreed in writing before anything starts.

  3. 3

    Build in short rounds

    Working screens shared every few weeks. Your team tests them from your own office.

  4. 4

    Go-live, in person when it helps

    For data migration and training we can come to your city. Travel is agreed in advance.

  5. 5

    Support online

    Fixes, changes and hosting handled remotely by the same team that built it.

Common questions

Questions hydroponic and greenhouse farms ask before they call.

Can readings come straight from our sensors and dosing controller?

Sometimes. Many farms start by typing the round’s figures on a phone. Reading from a controller depends on the make and its output, and that link is scoped separately after we see the equipment.

We grow one crop in a few tunnels. Is this too much?

It may be, for one crop. A single tunnel of tomatoes can run on a simple sheet and a camera. Several bays, two or more crops and fixed weekly buyers are where a shared record begins to pay its way.

Can a lot code show what was sprayed?

Yes. Each box carries a lot code, and the lot opens to the bay, the treatments applied and the interval before harvest. Which checks you need is agreed with your buyer or regulator.

Do pickers need a smartphone each?

No. A shared tablet at the pack house or one phone per crew is enough. Pickers call out weights and the crew lead enters them against the bay.

What happens after I share my requirements?

An engineer reads what you send and replies within one business day. We then look at the software, spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups your business runs on today and write down what works, what slows your team down and what is missing. A demo login, a screen-share or a few screenshots are enough. You get a short written summary ordered by priority, with no obligation to hire us afterwards.

How much will the software cost?

We don’t publish a price, because it depends on what the system has to do. That first review settles the scope, and the cost goes into a written proposal before any work starts.
