Written by Windward Software | Aug 21, 2025 8:45:00 PM

If you’ve ever run a garden center, you know it’s not just about selling plants—it’s about managing a whirlwind of inventory, seasonal spikes, vendor orders, customer requests, and financial paperwork. One minute you're helping a customer pick out perennials, the next you're trying to reconcile invoices or figure out why your stock numbers don’t match.

Sound familiar?

That’s exactly the kind of chaos Windward Software was built to solve.
With System Five, everything—your POS, inventory, purchasing, accounting, and reporting—is connected in one clean, easy-to-use system. No more bouncing between spreadsheets, apps, or paper trails. Just one place to run your business smoothly and confidently.

Windward understands the unique challenges of the industry:

Seasonal inventory fluctuations
Diverse product categories (plants, tools, décor)
High-volume of transactions during peak seasons
