In short

A flower farm in East Africa: production, grading, inventory, sales, accounts and HRMS in a single system. Harvest, rejects and grading become stock, availability and revenue without re-entry, and management sees the farm and the accounts as one picture.

What was the problem?

A flower farm is several businesses at once: a perishable crop across greenhouses, every stem graded by variety and length, exports on tight timelines, a large workforce, and books to close. Standard ERPs handle the ledger well and the greenhouse barely at all.

What did Helmsman build?

A single ERP built around how the farm works. Production is recorded where it happens (greenhouse, bed, harvest) and flows into stock, grading and availability, which is what the sales team sells from.
