Who it's for

Same record. Different reasons for needing it.

This work spans commercial collectors, production nurseries, restoration contractors, seed banks, councils, community groups and consultancies. Each of them is buying something different, so here is the version of NativeFlow that matters to each.

Commercial seed collection

Sell seed with a history attached.

Your provenance claim is the product. When a buyer asks where a lot came from, the answer should take a moment rather than an afternoon in the folders, and it should hold up when they go and check it themselves.

Every lot keeps the link to its collection event, parent plant and site.
Provenance graded verified, documented, partial or unknown, so weak history stays visible.
QR labels and an opt-in verification page a buyer can open themselves.
Seed lot certificates and registers generated from the current record.

Restoration and revegetation

Show the seed matched the brief.

Projects are won and acquitted on documentation. Species mix, provenance zone and quantities have to be evidenced against what the contract asked for, often long after the crew has moved on.

Per-species targets in real units, tracked against what came back from the field.
Sites with mapped boundaries and automatic local government area tagging.
Collection plan evidence packs as a single PDF for acquittal.
Mapped management zones with a restoration approach and an approved species mix.
Planting records that name the nursery batches and seed lots they consumed.

Production nurseries

Sell stock that still knows its seed.

A tubestock order is a provenance claim as much as a plant count. What decides whether the next contract comes back is being able to say where a batch came from, and having the availability list agree with what is on the bench.

Batch counts that add themselves up from the work you logged, so the number and the history stay one thing.
Sowing draws from the seed lot, so a batch still names the plant and place its seed came from.
Scannable batch labels, and bench work recorded on a phone offline by whoever did it.
Availability lists, orders, dispatch and Square invoices built from live stock.

Mine site rehabilitation

Evidence that survives closure review.

Rehabilitation is assessed against closure criteria years after the seed went in the ground. The record has to be defensible to a regulator who was not there and has no reason to take your word for it.

Fixed photopoints with ghost-overlay alignment and an indicative greenness reading per capture.
Repeat monitoring series that plot as a curve you can put in front of an assessor.
Approvals, permits and biosecurity conditions tracked with expiry alerts.
Full record timelines for any site, plant, collection or lot.

Seed banks and botanic gardens

Accessions that stay intact.

A seed bank is a promise about the future. The value of an accession is entirely in the integrity of what is recorded against it, and that record has to outlive the people who made it.

Storage modelled as it physically is: facility, room, cabinet, freezer, shelf, position.
Viability and quality tests with retests scheduled, and results kept against the lot.
Periodic storage checks with a condition outcome, and flags when one is overdue.
Stocktakes reconciling expected against actual, including unexpected finds.

Councils and government

Defensible spend, without the spreadsheet.

Public money needs an audit trail, and staff turnover means the record has to make sense to whoever inherits it. Volunteers and contractors both need to contribute without being given the keys to everything.

One approval attaches to every project it covers, and updates in one place when it is renewed.
Deletions require a manager and are themselves recorded.
Control over who can see exact plant coordinates and original photo metadata.
CSV and PDF exports for reporting, generated from the live record.

Landcare and community groups

Knowledge that outlasts the volunteer.

Most of what a group knows lives in the heads of a few long-standing members: which stand fruits early, which gate is locked, which population is worth the drive. That is the asset most at risk.

Free for two people and one active project, with no card and no expiry.
Known plants and populations build a history anyone in the group can read.
Phenology and seed timing recorded from your own observations, not guesswork.
Works with no signal, which is where most of this work happens.

Ecological consultancies

Fieldwork you can hand to a client.

You are selling rigour. The gap between a good survey and a defensible one is usually the quality of the record made at the time, in conditions that make good record-keeping hard.

Build the collection and observation forms your methodology already uses.
Records keep the form they were captured on, so a change never rewrites history.
GPS positions saved with the accuracy of the fix, in metres.
Guided photos by role, with prompts for what makes a shot useful later.
