About Cercis

Cercis is a live goods operating platform built to help retailers and growers run the season together.

Calm the chaos

Live goods retail gets complicated quickly.

Programs arrive from different growers, in different formats, at different times. Availability changes. Orders move through portals, spreadsheets, email, phone calls, and reps. Then come deliveries, receiving, issues, credits, and follow-up.

Retail systems handle pieces of that work. Cercis connects the rest — giving retailers and garden centres a clearer view across growers, programs, orders, deliveries, and the work still needing attention.

Run the season in one connected place

Cercis helps retailers and garden centres:

discover relevant growers and programs, and place orders through Cercis
keep orders placed through Cercis and elsewhere connected in one seasonal view
coordinate the season across a team, with shared calendars, information, and follow-up
tie documents, shipments, receiving, issues, and credits back to the order
see what needs attention and preserve the history for next season

The goal is not another system to keep up with. It is a clearer way to manage the work that already has to happen.

Better access for growers

Growers have a different need: getting the right customers to see their programs, understand the offer, and make it easy to do business together.

Cercis helps growers:

present programs, order forms, and availability clearly
make it easier for stores to understand and act on an offer
receive cleaner, more structured orders
reduce re-keying, repeated follow-up, and disconnected change history

Cercis does not replace the relationship between a grower and a retailer. It gives both sides better tools for working within it.

Built around the way the industry works

Cercis is designed to work with the tools and systems live goods businesses already use.

Growers can continue working with familiar spreadsheets, PDFs, order forms, and email, while retailers can continue using their existing retail, inventory, billing, and ERP systems. Cercis connects the seasonal work around them, reducing re-entry without asking either side to rebuild how they operate.

Cercis is not an open supplier marketplace. Stores see the growers and programs relevant to them, not an unrestricted catalogue of suppliers.

Existing commercial relationships and buying decisions stay where they belong. People see information according to their role and relationship, while commercially sensitive grower information remains protected.

From the first order to the last rack off the truck

Cercis keeps the season connected from programs and availability through ordering, receiving, follow-up, and closeout.

For retailers, that means less chasing and a clearer view of the season. For growers, it means an easier way to reach and work with the retail customers that matter.

One season. One connected record.

Who we are

Cercis is a Canadian company built by a team with experience across retail, horticulture, and software.

That mix shapes how we build the platform: around the realities of seasonal retail, the relationships that drive the live goods business, and technology that should make the work simpler — not add another layer of complexity.
