Biology-aware ERP for estate horticulture

Your plants know when they need care.
Now your software does too.

Kloro reads live Growing Degree Days from your local weather and flags the exact moment each species hits its prune, spray, or feed window — then runs the visits, journals, and billing around it. Biology sets the timing. You stay in control.

From estimate to ACH payment — nothing to export or reconcile.

Why Kloro

Calendar scheduling fails plants.
Kloro reads the plant, not the calendar.

The status quo

“Prune the hydrangeas March 15th”

Aspire, LMN, and Jobber all schedule horticultural work by the calendar. But a March 15th pruning that's perfect after a warm winter is a disaster after a cold one — and the date can't tell the difference.

  • 10+ hours a week driving out just to eyeball conditions
  • Institutional knowledge walks out the door with the people
  • Clients see invoices, not the value they’re paying for
With Kloro

“Prune when GDD reaches 180”

Kloro tracks cumulative Growing Degree Days from your local station and raises an advisory the moment each species reaches its window — so you act on biology, not a date on a planner.

  • Advisories raised at peak biological timing
  • Every plant tracked as a living asset with full history
  • Garden journals turn invoices into stewardship proof

How it works

From weather station to advisory

01

Register your living assets

Add every plant on every property — species, health, zone, replacement value. A living inventory that keeps institutional knowledge in the system, not in someone's head.

02

Connect to local weather

Link each property to its nearest weather station. Kloro ingests daily temperatures and tracks cumulative Growing Degree Days in real time.

03

Advisories surface automatically

When cumulative GDD crosses a species threshold, Kloro raises an advisory — prune, spray, feed — at the biologically optimal moment. You decide when to act.

Platform

Built to run professional estate horticulture

Living Asset Registry

Every plant on every property tracked as a unique asset — species, health, zone placement, replacement value, and care history across seasons.

Phenology & Advisories

Live Growing Degree Days from your local weather station flag the exact moment each species reaches its prune, spray, or feed window.

Visits & Field Ops

Visits enriched with botanical context, zone maps, and crew-ready task lists — with a mobile app built for working hands in the field.

Garden Journals

Turn maintenance into proof. Before/after photos, value-protected metrics, and seasonal narratives owners actually want to read.

Invoicing & ACH Payments

Estimates, service plans, and invoices that build themselves from the work — then clients pay online by ACH, no second tool.

Client Portal & Garden Agent

Owners see their garden's story and ask an AI agent anything about their property — answered from their own visit notes, plants, and phenology.

Garden Agent

Answering from your data

Why is my hydrangea sparse this year?

Your panicle hydrangea was hard-pruned on Apr 2, right as it crossed its GDD window — so a slower spring flush is normal. It filled out by mid-July last season around 900 GDD.Grounded in 3 visit notes + phenology

Garden AgentAI

Clients ask anything about their property and get grounded answers from their own visit notes, plants, and phenology — not a generic chatbot.

Client Portal

Owners log in to their garden's living history, what's happening now, and every invoice — the value behind the bill, not just the bill.

I’m building Kloro because the best horticulturists I know carry their entire operation in their heads — and the software industry has only ever offered them lawn-care tools. We’re building with a handful of Minnesota firms first, slowly, until it’s right.
