CHALLENGES

Why Pine Lake needed optimized plant material sourcing

As a nursery themselves, Pine Lake takes pride in their quality and wanted to maintain their standards as they scaled up. With over 75 acres of plant materials across two locations at their disposal, the Pine Lake team had in-depth knowledge of Florida grades and inspection requirements.

However, for larger orders, their team often faced challenges with coordination between multiple external suppliers. They needed a simpler, better way to fulfill high-volume landscaping projects.

Top challenges for Pine Lake:

  • 1

    Coordinating logistics between multiple suppliers

  • 2

    Ensuring consistent and uniform quality benchmarks

  • 3

    Getting the best possible market price for materials
