In short

A flower farm in East Africa — production, grading, inventory, sales, accounts and HRMS in a single system. Harvest, rejects and grading become stock, availability and revenue without re-entry — and management sees the farm and the accounts as one picture.

What was the problem?

A flower farm is several businesses at once — a perishable crop across greenhouses, every stem graded by variety and length, exports on tight timelines, a large workforce, and books to close. Standard ERPs handle the ledger well and the greenhouse barely at all.

What did Helmsman build?

A single ERP built around how the farm works. Production is recorded where it happens — greenhouse, bed, harvest — and flows into stock, grading and availability, which is what sales sells from.
