PlantScout is a Quality Control App (QC-App) for growers to monitor deliveries and varieties of suppliers or for customers. At home or at the greenhouse with phone or tablet it is possible with different "quality reports" to collect variety properties, problems, mutations, assessments of varieties in a simple yet flexible way. In addition, each report can be supplemented with photos and free text. All the knowledge of a variety is gathered on a central website where the grower can then browse the information and knowledge in a variety database. If desired, the reports can be shared with vendors through the app and website to share knowledge and experiences with the particular vendor(s).
