Horticulture IT Solutions & Support

Horticulture businesses rely on much more than plants and growing expertise to keep operations running. Technology now plays a role in inventory, sales, scheduling, accounting, communications, equipment, customer management, and data. When those systems work together effectively, teams can spend more time focused on their operations and customers.

Our horticulture IT solutions & support help businesses manage the technology behind their day-to-day work. We combine managed IT, cloud services, cybersecurity, network management, backup and recovery, and strategic technology planning around the needs of horticulture organizations.

About the Horticulture Industry

Horticulture encompasses a wide range of businesses, including nurseries, greenhouse operations, landscaping companies, garden centers, growers, and businesses involved in plant production and distribution. While their operations differ, many rely on technology to coordinate employees, customers, inventory, finances, and suppliers.

Some horticulture businesses operate across greenhouses, retail locations, offices, warehouses, and outdoor facilities. Employees may need access to applications and information from different parts of the business, making dependable connectivity an important consideration.

Technology can also help organizations manage inventory and purchasing. Businesses may rely on point-of-sale systems, accounting platforms, customer relationship management software, inventory applications, and other specialized tools. An interruption in one system can affect several connected processes.

Cybersecurity has become another consideration for horticulture businesses. Organizations may hold customer information, payment data, employee records, supplier information, and financial records. Phishing, ransomware, malware, and compromised accounts can create operational and financial risks.

Our cybersecurity capabilities include managed EDR, identity detection and response, network detection and response, vulnerability management, penetration testing, digital forensics, and 24/7 Security Operations Center services.

Cloud technology can also make information and applications more accessible across locations. Nexigen offers cloud strategy, migration, private cloud, hybrid cloud, backup, and recovery services that can be tailored around business requirements.

Benefits of Our IT Solutions for the Horticulture Industry

Keep Business Systems Reliable

Horticulture businesses often depend on technology for sales, inventory, communication, scheduling, and financial operations. Proactive IT management can help identify technology problems and reduce disruptions to daily activities.

Protect Customer and Business Information

Customer records, payment information, employee data, and financial documents can all require protection. Layered cybersecurity can help safeguard information across endpoints, networks, identities, and cloud applications.

Connect Distributed Operations

Greenhouses, nurseries, offices, retail locations, and other facilities may operate across different areas. Cloud services and managed networks can help connect employees with the applications and information they need.

Improve Technology Visibility

Managing devices, networks, applications, and cloud services can become difficult as a business grows. Managed IT services can give organizations greater visibility into their technology environment while reducing the burden on employees.

Prepare for Technology Disruptions

Hardware failures, cyber incidents, accidental deletion, and other events can affect access to important information. Backup and recovery strategies can give horticulture businesses a structured way to restore data and technology resources.
