Under the motto “Growing need one Software,” Plug-Plant and PAT Horticulture Software GmbH are setting a strong signal for integration, clarity, and future-readiness in horticulture. All functions previously available only in Classic PAT are now fully integrated into PAT-Enterprise and centrally managed. This means all system areas are combined in one application with clear rights management and easy operation.

PAT-Enterprise is industry software for young plant production and plant trade, specifically designed to map the business processes of the horticultural sector. It supports breeders, plant laboratories, producers, and traders of ornamental plants, vegetables, and woody plants in business organization, order entry, and production management. The software provides a complete overview of production, orders, and sales - ensuring transparency across all operations.

The system now features a modern design with an intuitive user interface, presented at the trade fair for even greater clarity and efficiency. A new feature, “Register Trays,” allows productions to be automatically recorded via scanners and grouped into production entries. Manual data entry is eliminated - saving time and reducing errors.

Mobile data collection has also been significantly improved: the new MWS (PAT-Mobile-Workspace) module replaces PAT ScanIT. With MWS, production, mother plants, delivery, and time management can be fully recorded and controlled directly via any Android device. This makes mobile work even more flexible and convenient - regardless of device type or location.

PAT-Enterprise thus offers a comprehensive digital solution for modern horticulture - from data capture to planning, from production to sales - all in one software.

From the beginning of PAT software 25 years ago order entry, individual models of pricing, multi-stage planning of production as well for exact day, production of mixes from different articles, (automatic) ordering of starting material for the exact week, availabilities, empties management, printing of labels or tracking and tracing of batches has been the main focus of our business.

The development to individual ERP solutions which are quickly scalable as well in horticulture are more and more imminent.

With the turn of the year 2024/2025, Plug-Plant Software has also taken the possibilities of e-invoicing into account. The extension with the AutoDOC tool makes it possible to create and send e-invoices in ZugPFerd.

Plug-Plant Software GmbH and CONCEPT Data Systems consequently implement these requirements into the development of PAT Enterprise, PAT Mobile and PAT Scan It.

Plug-Plant nowadays pays particular attention to mobile working in production and shipment. Individual solutions for scanner, tablet and smartphone are an import component of a modularly constructed overall solution.

As some samples we have solved with our apps there are creating and changing of production quantities, documentation of work steps in production, assignment of production in shipment, short-term changes in order and shipment.

Value-based inventory management will lead to much more exact dates in the ERP with timely recording by simple apps. This again will lead to a precise availability in real-time which is the second main topic for the customers of Plug-Plant.

Provision of available quantities including to a simulation to future is a priority topic of PAT software. Dates can be changed to other systems with various surfaces.

Presentation in an individually configurable Web portal for an online order entry and -management Plug-Plant as well offers to its customers.
