Überhöhte Arbeitskosten durch manuelle Bestands- und Vermehrungsdokumentation

Definition

Specialised nursery inventory systems in Australia are marketed specifically to "simplify nursery operations" and "take the guesswork out of inventory management" by connecting inventory with grow plans, production planning, and potting through to dispatch, reducing errors and saving time.[2] They provide real‑time stock tracking, batch and growing cycle tracking, and detailed reporting, explicitly framed as a way to streamline operations and improve profitability.[2] Botanical collection systems like Hortis and IrisBG are built to let staff answer questions, build reports, and update records efficiently, including bulk updates and mobile access, which address the inefficiency of manual methods.[3][9] Logic inference: where these tools are absent, equivalent work is done manually. A typical Australian zoo/botanic garden may have 3–6 horticulture/FTE staff spending 0.2–0.4 FTE each on record‑keeping (field notes, spreadsheets, propagation logs, report compilation). At fully loaded labour costs of AUD 70,000–90,000 per FTE, 0.3–0.8 FTE wasted translates into AUD 21,000–72,000 annually.

Why This Matters

The Pitch: Einrichtungen im Bereich Zoos und botanische Gärten in Australia 🇦🇺 verschwenden typischerweise AUD 20.000–60.000 pro Jahr an manueller Datenerfassung für Pflanzenbestände und Vermehrung. Automation of data capture (mobile updates in the field, integrated batch and growing cycle records) cuts these labour costs and reduces rework.
