Estimate your time saving over a season
Two answers are enough: your experience in market gardening and the number of people to coordinate. You get an estimate in hours per week, in the low season and in peak season, work area by work area.

Indicative estimate based on a working model (spreadsheet against tool) built with experts and adjusted from field feedback.
An estimate based on industry data
For each work area, the model compares the time spent on a spreadsheet with the time spent in the application. It was calibrated with experienced and beginner market gardeners.
6 work areas measured
Planning, assignment, seeds, task management, harvests, regulatory compliance: each area assessed separately in the low season and in peak season.
3 calibrated profiles
Expert working alone, beginner working alone, and expert with farm workers, to reflect the reality of coordinating a team.
Conservative by default
Features still in development are excluded. Only the gains actually available today are counted.
