What It Costs You
Riding on guesswork, every count
$9,000
Inventory position error at your miscount rate. Overcounts sell plants you don't have — failed orders and make-goods. Undercounts hide plants that never get sold at all.
The clipboard, per year
$3,500
192 crew-hours a year spent counting instead of growing, loading, and selling.
A drone count of your acreage
$1,100–$1,650
Row-level counts from high-resolution aerial imagery — the whole property in one visit, no crew pulled off work.
Recover just 138 misplaced plants and it paid for itself.
Your numbers, straight multiplication — nothing hidden. The drone range is the same ballpark math our Mission Estimator shows, and an exact quote is free.
Context, since margins in this industry are thin: labor typically runs about 36% of nursery expenses against net margins near 6.7% (AMS Retail, nursery operations guide); mid-sized operations report 15–20 hours a week going to inventory tasks (Argos, nursery inventory guide); and knowing what's actually in the ground is the planning basis for labor, space, and supplies (Texas A&M AgriLife). Wholesale growers move roughly 85% of the industry's $5.34B in nursery stock (USDA, 2024). The miscount rate above is yours to set — we don't invent your numbers.
