 We constantly listen to customers and challenge our methods for growing, ordering, delivering and servicing growers. We like breaking the rules that need to be broken. So... here are new rules for you to make even more money this year: :: New Grasses Program :: New Woodies Program :: New Low Riders TM Freight Program :: New Faster Online Ordering and Reporting Tools :: New One Stop Tag Program :: New Breeder Relationships :: New Greenhouse Facilities :: Grand Opening of CRC. A New Ground Cover/Landscape Grade Farm :: New Unrooted Cutting Customization Options  How Our New Unrooted Cutting Rules Reduce Your Labor Cuttings Shipped in Neat, Aligned Rows Save $0.0125 per Cutting: Did you ever notice that Florexpo's cuttings are easier to stick because they are all lined up in the shipping bag? Workers have measured labor savings of 2 to 2.5 seconds per cutting when sticking Florexpo cuttings vs. sticking from clumped bags or self propagated mother stock. Let's do the math: a $6.00 per hour worker improving from 5 to 3 seconds per cutting can stick 8 more cuttings per minute which relates to 480 more stuck per hour. $6.00 divided by 480 equates to $0.0125 per cutting saved. Online Order Maintenance Saves Buyers 20 to 50 Hours per Year in Labor: If your administrative person is paid $15.00 per hour, 5 minutes on the phone costs you $1.25, 10 minutes costs you $2.50. Where as 2 minutes online costs you $0.50, 4 minutes costs you $1.00. Faster processing saves money and 24 hour, 7 day access adds flexibility. Let's do the math: A buyer who is actively sourcing and adjusting orders touches a production department's weekly demand order on average 4 times before taking delivery. If they save 10 minutes per touch that's 40 minutes of time saved per demand order. 30 weeks of demand orders to be filled = 1,200 minutes or 20 hours of labor saved. If the average is a 20 minute savings per touch, then 40 hours of time is saved. The McGregor Plant Sales website allows your administration to order, add, query, download, edit and view your URC orders without making a phone call or multiple phone calls. Of course we are here to answer your phone, fax and e-mail requests too. Inclusive Invoices Reduce PO's and AP Processing time 40-50%: Accurate invoices for your orders are sent directly following your URC shipment. Tags, freight, royalties and re-icing fees are all included on the same invoice with your unrooted cuttings. Pricing is automated and their are no surprises. Your accounting department can quickly match invoices to POs. Their paperwork will flow smoothly with out waiting for separate freight bills. Elimination of Purchase Order Discrepancies Saves Labor/Increase Sales: In business today the average cost to cut a PO is approximately $150.00. To make sure every PO you cut is efficient, McGregor Plant Sales sends pre-advisors and order acknowledgements to ensure that you know exactly what will arrive and when. Further, our website enables you to view or export your current, future and past orders to MS Excel so you can tie out varieties, prices, quantities and ship weeks directly to your purchasing system any time of the day or night. The value is elimination of surprises which may cause you to cut further PO's or to lose business from unexpected shortages. More: McGregor Plant Sales is capable of integrated order fulfillment. Customers who require paperless transactions and automated order fulfillment can be set up to communicate in a secure online environment. One time set up fees apply. 
How Our New Unrooted Cutting Rules Reduce Your Freight Exclusive Automated Pack Out system Saves $100's and $1,000's per Year: By ordering online at McGregor Plant Sales' website you are shown any available capacity in your boxes ready to be shipped. This visibility lets you manage order quantities to fill boxes completely. Without this tool growers are subject to blindly shipping partial boxes and losing from $0.002 to $0.0104 per cutting more. Let's do the math: If a grower is assigned the Leucanthemum SKU by a box store and it switches from Leucanthemum Becky to Leucanthemum Snow Cap the height difference is 4 to 6 inches. This differential allows the grower to go from 5 shelves to 6 shelves on the out bound rack. Moving from an average of 5 to 6 shelves on racks generates a freight savings of 16.77%. Add up your freight and deduct roughly 15%. How much money did you just make? McGregor Plant Sales' Low Rider TM selection includes more than 70 varieties to choose from including annuals, perennials, groundcovers and herbs.  How Our New Rules Just Brought Your Plant Costs Down: High heating costs means many growers can no longer afford to hold mother stock. For years sourcing offshore URCs has meant increased production capacity and lower overhead. So before you build another greenhouse for $250,000 or more, take a look at moving your mother stock offshore. Here are 7 New Rules to Save on Plant Costs: :: Source bare root grasses from Florexpo :: Source high volume ground cover items from McGregor's CRC farm and save 50% :: Source plants 15 weeks earlier and save 5% :: Source more than 500,000 URCs from Florexpo and get seasonal discounts :: Source fast finishing varieties and save on your landed production costs :: Source cool tolerant varieties and save on landed production costs :: Source online and use automated pack out to lower landed costs  How Our New Rules Just Increased Your Flexibility Customization: Now you can get your URCs the way you want them.
