THE PLATFORM

Built for the Green Industry

AMS Garden Center POS is the only point-of-sale system designed from the ground up for garden centers, nurseries, and green industry retailers. It understands the unique challenges you face every day — from dramatic seasonal inventory swings to managing live goods that need different tracking than hard goods.

Ring up a flat of annuals, a yard of mulch, and a pallet of pavers in the same transaction. Manage the greenhouse, the yard, and the gift shop as one business, with items organized by both botanical and common names so any staff member can find the right plant in seconds.

Our platform gives you the specialized tools to manage your business the way it actually operates, not the way generic POS software thinks it should.

WHOLESALE MANAGEMENT

Support Your Wholesale & Landscape Supply Customers

Landscapers and contractors run on tight schedules and tighter margins. Give them house accounts with clean statements, negotiated price levels that apply automatically at checkout, and work orders tied to their customers and jobs.

Load tickets and delivery slips keep the yard crew and the front counter working from the same orders, while delivery and truck scheduling makes sure the right materials reach the right job site on time.

FAQ

AMS Garden Center POS Questions

How does AMS Garden Center POS handle seasonal inventory?

AMS Garden Center POS includes seasonal purchasing templates that let you pre-plan inventory orders based on prior year sales data. You can set up automatic reorder points that adjust by season, so your spring annuals and fall mums arrive exactly when you need them. The system also flags slow-moving seasonal stock so you can markdown before the season ends, protecting your margins.

Can I track and manage live goods differently from hard goods?

Yes. AMS Garden Center POS understands that live goods have a limited shelf life and require different tracking than hard goods like pots, tools, and chemicals. You can track plant attributes such as color, size, and variety, manage shrinkage rates for perishable inventory, and set different markdown schedules for live stock. The system gives you accurate visibility into your true inventory value at all times.

Does it support outdoor POS stations?

Absolutely. AMS Garden Center POS supports rugged hardware and mobile POS devices that work reliably in outdoor environments — mobile carts, nursery aisles, yard areas, and greenhouses. Staff can process transactions, look up inventory, and print durable labels right at the plant bench, with wireless connectivity keeping everything synced with your main register in real time.

Can I manage different pricing for landscapers vs retail customers?

Yes. AMS Garden Center POS supports unlimited customer pricing tiers — retail, landscaper, contractor, government, and any custom groups you need. When a landscaper account is selected at checkout, their negotiated pricing is automatically applied. You can also set volume discount breaks so larger orders receive deeper discounts without any manual overrides required by your cashiers.

Can it handle bulk goods sold by the yard, ton, or pallet?

Yes. Alternate units of measure let you sell soil, mulch, stone, and other bulk materials by the bag, yard, ton, or pallet while the system keeps one accurate inventory count behind the scenes. You can ring up a flat of annuals and two yards of mulch in the same transaction, and pricing converts automatically between units so your margins stay protected on every sale.

Does AMS Garden Center POS integrate with e-commerce?

Yes. Your POS becomes the central database for both in-store and online sales, syncing products, pricing, and availability with your website. Customers can buy online and pick up in store or at the curb, and every online order flows back into the same inventory and reporting you use at the register — no double entry and no overselling plants that already left the greenhouse.
