till-side product data
An EPOS that knows the plant.
Cassa shows botanical name, common name, pot size, propagation origin, and last month's sell-through - at the moment of sale, without the cashier switching screens.
Customers ask "will this take full sun?" and your weekend staff answer it from the same screen that rings the sale.
The till carries the whole plant record.
seasonal stock
Wastage, before it happens.
Atlas Core tracks stock at batch level, so you see the lavender you bought in March aging into May, and the promotion window closes before the shrink line opens.
Pot-size, supplier and arrival-date filters all live in the same grid. Your buyer plans the next order from the same screen.
loyalty & repeat trade
Gardeners come back in seasons.
The customer who bought three buxus in April probably wants compost in May and bulbs in September. Atlas Core remembers - and so does the till when they walk back in.
Staff see the same history the customer remembers.
What you get at the counter.
Species depth at point-of-sale
Botanical depth, propagation origin and care advice surfaced in the same screen that rings the sale, with no tab-switching.
Till speed in peak season
Designed around bank-holiday queues. Barcode, weight-price, plant-label scan and card-side capture all stay under four seconds.
Data that compounds
Every sale, return and loyalty-card swipe feeds the same ledger. This April you plan from three years of April data.
The shape of the system.
Garden centre covers the till, buying and marketing. Garden Centre Plus adds delivery and trade pricing for the customers who buy by the trolley.
Editions are sold per seat with a 30-day trial. We will tell you which one fits before you commit.
The garden centre, in practice.
What is garden centre software?
It is the system that holds the till and the stock file of a retail plant business together: a catalogue carrying botanical name and pot size, seasonal stock tracked by batch, buying, promotions, loyalty and the ledger. A supermarket EPOS will ring the sale but does not know what it is selling; garden centre software carries the plant data all the way to the receipt.
How do you choose an EPOS for a garden centre?
Look at three things in order. Speed at the till on a spring Saturday, with barcodes and plant labels. How the system treats seasonal stock, which ages rather than sitting still on a shelf. And whether the till, the trade order and the webshop genuinely draw on one stock pool - that is where the double work comes from.
Does the till keep working if the line drops?
Yes. Cassa is a real app on the device in front of the cashier, not a browser tab pointed at a server: it rings the basket, takes payment and prints the receipt locally, then sends the sale to Core when the connection returns. The spring Saturday does not depend on your bandwidth.
Can weekend staff answer plant questions from the till?
That is the point of it. Botanical name, common name, pot size, propagation origin and last month's sell-through sit on the screen that rings the sale - no second window, no fetching the section manager.
Does it handle seasonal stock and shrink?
Atlas Core follows stock at batch level. You see the lavender bought in March ageing towards May, with filters by pot, supplier and arrival date in the same grid, so the markdown window closes before the shrink line opens.
Does it cover plant passports at retail?
Yes. Goods-in records the passport against the batch, and it stays attached through to the sale - including the consumer distance sales that need one. The traceability is a record rather than an afternoon of cross-checking trolleys.
We also sell online and to trade. Do we need a second system?
No. The till, the B2B ordering portal and online dispatch read the same catalogue and the same stock in Core, so the shelf price, the portal price and the label cannot drift apart.
