Growmentum

We're excited to share that Growmentum, co-founded by Drew Lytton and Cody Childers, has been featured in Greenhouse Grower! Recognized as the 2024 Technology of the Year, Growmentum’s platform was created to address an essential need: helping growers track tasks and manage labor efficiently across greenhouses. What started as a consulting project at Metrolina Greenhouses INC evolved into a groundbreaking tool that is transforming horticulture operations. In the article, Drew and Cody discuss how Growmentum grew from an idea sparked by a greenhouse manager’s request for a streamlined tracking tool to a full-fledged solution for task management and labor forecasting. The platform offers real-time dashboards, customized task management, and accurate labor predictions, all of which empower growers to boost productivity and profitability while making data-driven decisions. By reducing labor costs and identifying operational bottlenecks, Growmentum is helping greenhouse teams work smarter and stay ahead of industry challenges. Team members Marissa Marshall and Jackie Lytton also share their thoughts on the future of floriculture, highlighting the industry’s potential for growth and innovation. From data-driven decision-making to enhancing the human connection with plants, their perspectives shine a light on how technology is helping shape a more productive and sustainable horticulture industry.

This past summer, Dr. Charlie Hall delivered a critical message to the horticulture industry at AmericanHort's Cultivate'24: hold steady and avoid reactionary moves in response to recent market dips. While 2023-2024 data shows mixed short-term performance, long-term growth trends remain robust. ?? For commercial growers, understanding and adapting to regional variations, input cost pressures, and big-box retail dynamics are essential. But there’s more we can do. Leveraging Growmentum’s centralized task management, labor optimization, and forecasting tools, growers can actively streamline operations and maintain strong margins—especially when challenges arise. ?? Growmentum helps growers tackle their largest operational costs—labor—by reducing redundancy, improving task efficiency, and optimizing workforce planning. This means more time and resources focused on what matters most: building sustainable growth in an evolving market. ?? As Dr. Hall suggests, it’s about a “strategic mindset change.” Platforms like Growmentum enable growers to make proactive, data-driven decisions to hold the line and thrive.
