Built for Garden Centers

What it does on day one, so your TRC Explore Zone™ is spent on what makes you different. Every TRC ERP Industry Solution is shaped by TRC’s 35 years of industry experience, with the know-how built in.

What each card does for you

Ready for the weather Several centers saw weekly footfall swing by up to 18% year on year in 2025, mostly with the weather.
Less plant waste Plant losses typically run at 3 to 8% of turnover, much of it never costed.
Protect the margin Growth is coming from price, not volume, so every point of margin counts.
More from every visit Plants, the cafe and gifts in one basket lift the value of every trip.
Customers who come back Loyalty, events and seasonal reasons to visit keep customers returning all year.
Do more with fewer staff Wages are rising and teams are smaller, in every industry.

Plants and seasonal ranges

Manage plants by variety, pot size, grade and season, with labels, pricing and availability that change as the ranges turn over through the year.

Store, outdoor and cafe tills

Indoor, outdoor and cafe tills share one customer, one basket and one set of takings, with handheld tills for busy weekends in the plant area.

Loyalty, stamp cards and offers

Reward visits across plants, gifts and the cafe with points, stamp cards and member offers that customers carry on their phone.

Buying and replenishment

Reorder suggestions from sales, stock and supplier lead times, with purchase orders raised in a few clicks instead of walking the aisles with a clipboard.

Click and collect

Customers order online and collect from a set point, with stock reserved and picked by your team before they arrive.

Delivery and assembly

Schedule delivery of bulky items such as sheds, furniture and compost, with assembly visits and proof of delivery on the driver's phone.

Workshops and seasonal events

Sell tickets for workshops, Santa's grotto and seasonal events online, with capacity limits and reminders that bring customers back through the doors.

Weather-aware planning

Forecasts from weather services feed your staff rotas and plant ordering, so you are ready for the sunny weekend and not overstocked for the wet one.

Trade accounts for landscapers, with their own pricing

Landscapers and contractors buy on account at their own prices, with credit limits, statements and quick reorders at the trade counter.

Plant special orders

Order a plant the customer cannot find, link it to the supplier purchase, and tell the customer automatically when it is ready to collect.

Plant losses and markdowns tracked, so dead stock is costed not hidden

Record plant losses and markdowns with a reason, so their cost appears in your margins and you can see which lines and suppliers waste the most.

Gift cards and store credit that work in every store

Sell gift cards and issue store credit that can be spent at any till, in any of your centers, or online.
