How to make an app for a plant nursery

A nursery has hundreds of plants in different sizes, a bulk order for an apartment due next week and gardeners out on care visits. An app keeps stock by plant and size, each order and each garden job together, so you know what can be promised.

Who uses the app

The owner and the counter. If gardeners on site or a second branch need the same stock and job list on their phones, connect your own Supabase database. For buyers to browse and order, the app also needs that database.

The screens a plant nursery app needs

Stock: Each plant by pot or bag size with quantity, rate, bed or section, and a photo
Orders: Counter and bulk orders with the plants, pots and soil, delivery date and amount
Garden jobs: Balcony, terrace and lawn jobs with site address, plants used, gardener and status
Care visits: Monthly plant care visits by customer, date and gardener, with a note after each visit
Customers and dues: Homes, apartments and offices, what each owes and a WhatsApp reminder
Reports: Plants sold by type and month, and stock running low

Features worth asking for

Stock that goes down when an order is marked delivered
A low-stock list by plant and size against a number you set
A quote for a garden setup as a PDF to share on WhatsApp
Photos attached to a garden job, before and after
A reminder on the phone the day before a care visit
A Google Maps link for each delivery and job address
QR codes on bed labels that the installed app can scan to open that plant's stock

Where the data lives

If only the counter phone uses the app, the data stays on it. If gardeners update jobs from sites or a second branch shares the stock, connect your own Supabase database; photos that others should see also need it. For online payments, connect your Razorpay account too.

Share it. Share it as a web link, an APK file, or publish it on Google Play from your own developer account.

Copy this request, change the details to match your plant nursery, and paste it into AppCub:

Make an app for my plant nursery, Hasiru Plant Nursery in Bengaluru. Screens: stock, orders, garden jobs, care visits, customers and dues, and reports. Stock is by plant and pot size, with rate, quantity, bed number and photo. Orders reduce stock when delivered. Garden jobs have an address, plants used, gardener and status, with before and after photos. Care visits are monthly per customer with a reminder the day before. Make quotes as PDFs, keep dues with a WhatsApp reminder, and show plants running low. Green colours.

Tips for a plant nursery app

Start with stock for your top 50 plants and the order screen; add the rest of the stock over a week.
Name sizes the same way everywhere, such as 6-inch pot, 8-inch pot, 2-foot bag.
Count the beds once and enter the numbers in one go, then let orders reduce them.
Agree with gardeners what they note after each care visit, such as plants replaced and pests seen, and ask for that form.
Try a week of real orders before you print QR labels for the beds.

Good to know

AppCub doesn't connect to billing machines, weighing scales or label printers. Labels and quotes are PDFs you print from the phone, and reminders to customers go out when you tap the WhatsApp button.
AppCub builds Android apps. You can also share the app as a web link that opens on any phone; for the iPhone App Store, AppCub’s team can do it for you.

Questions

Can a nursery app track plants by pot size?

Yes. Each plant can have several sizes, each with its own quantity and rate, such as a money plant in 6-inch and 10-inch pots.

Can customers order plants from the app?

Yes, with an online database. Share the app as a web link; buyers pick plants and sizes, and the order appears on your orders screen.

Can I scan a plant label to see its stock?

Yes. Print QR labels for the beds, and the installed Android app can scan them with the phone's camera to open that plant.

Can the app remind me of monthly plant care visits?

Yes. The installed app can show a reminder on your phone the day before each visit you have entered. It may arrive a few minutes late.

Can gardeners add photos of a finished balcony?

Photos can be attached to a garden job. For everyone to see them, the app needs your Supabase database connected.

Can I make quotes for a terrace garden?

Yes. Ask for a quote screen with plants, pots, soil and labour, and the app makes a PDF you share on WhatsApp.
