Shina

Follow every stem from planting to sale.

Shina is built around the lifecycle of a stem. Every box sold can be traced back to the exact block, bed, day and batch it came from. Harvest, spray and delivery logs all link back to the same bed and block.

Here is a few insights into what Shina is

What is Shina?

Shina is an operations software that brings efficiency to the operations of a farm.

Flower farms run on paper. Paper has a cost.

From the greenhouse to the cold store, the records that keep a farm compliant and its buyers happy are still written by hand, carried across the farm and typed up again.

Counts get recopied, misread and reconciled days after the stems have shipped.

Sign-offs wait on whoever holds the paper.

A spray log needs three signatures, and each one waits for the sheet to walk across the farm.

Every one of these has a fix.

For instance, follow one spray log through the farm.

The record still goes through the same processes it would before the Shina Migration, we map the exact records and operational workflows into a digital system. Here is an example of the same record, how it is now, and how it would be in Shina.

Illustrative flow. Discovery maps your real sign-off chain for each record.

Same sheet. Same information. Now a record.

Each spreadsheet becomes a document built to match it. Every column becomes a field, every row becomes a record, and nothing in the data changes.

Phase 1 starts where the most paper moves.

Production, Packhouse and Compliance. Each gets its own forms and flows, built in to match how it works today.

Example data

One system means one view of the whole farm.

Every department records into the same place, so management can ask a question that spans departments and get the answer straight away, without waiting for anyone to compile a report.

One version of the truth

No competing copies of the same sheet. Every department reads the same approved record.

Insight across departments

Harvest, grading, spraying and training data can be read together, not in separate files.

Live, not last week

Figures update the moment records are approved, so decisions use today's numbers.

Every number traces back

Select any figure to see the records behind it, who entered them and who approved them.

Example data, consistent with the Production and Packhouse screens above.

Sign-offs move at the speed of a tap.

The same people approve in the same order, from any phone or computer. Every step is recorded, and the paper form can still be printed when it's needed.
