Switching
Moving to HortiOwl from your current system
Most nurseries come to us from spreadsheets or an older system. We do the importing for you, and you check it against your own records before you go live.
What comes across
- Your product list
- Customers and suppliers
- Price lists
- Current stock
- Open orders and quotes
How the move works
- We look at how you work today, from enquiry to invoice
- We import your data and you check it against your own records
- We set HortiOwl up the way your nursery runs
- We train your office and yard staff
- You go live
From spreadsheets
Spreadsheets work until two people need the same figure at once, or someone sells stock that's already promised. Moving off them means one up-to-date picture of stock, orders and customers that everyone shares — office, yard and drivers.
From another nursery or garden centre system
If you're already on a system, send us an export of what you have. We'll tell you straight away what comes across cleanly and what needs a bit of work, before you commit to anything.
Nothing to install
HortiOwl runs in the browser on any computer or tablet, with a phone app for the yard. There's no server in the back office and no updates to chase.
Questions
It depends mostly on how tidy your current data is. Bring a sample to your demo and we'll give you an honest idea before you decide.
Yes. Many businesses run both side by side until they're confident, then switch over on a quiet day.
No. You keep working on your current system until you go live on HortiOwl, so there's no gap in taking orders.
No. Send us what you have and we'll bring it across. There's no import tool for your team to learn.
