1. More accurate harvest planning

 

With a yield of 10 tonnes per hectare per week over 39 weeks per year, the annual volume is: 390 tonnes per year

​

Typical planning deviations are often 10–20%:

• 20% deviation = 78 tonnes

• 10% deviation = 39 tonnes

• ​

With Hortiscan, the deviation drops to below 5%, i.e. approximately 18.5 tonnes. This means: significantly less misplanning, better marketability, and fewer losses.

 

Savings potential: at least €18,500 per year – potentially much more depending on the crop and marketing channel.

​

2. Less organizational overhead

 

Hortiscan works 24/7, 365 days a year with 99% uptime.

​

That means:

• no downtime due to illness

• no holiday cover needed

• no additional coordination effort

• less friction within the organization

• ​

Even with just 1 hour less organizational effort per week, that adds up to:

• 39 hours per year

• equivalent to approx. €1,850 per year
   

Direct benefit: €1,850 per year

​

3. Less manual counting, less extrapolation

 

Manual data collection is often based on very small sample sizes.

​

Hortiscan captures significantly more real-world data, reducing the need for estimation and extrapolation. If counting is currently done manually twice a week, taking approximately 2 hours per week, that amounts to:

• 78 hours per year

• equivalent to approx. €3,850 per year
   

In addition, the data basis for decision-making improves considerably. Direct benefit: €3,850 per year
