Who is Canopy for?
Growing operations, starting with container nurseries, whose crews and conditions change after the plan is made. Canopy is the operations OS for that team, modeled the way you already think about your operation: sites, optional blocks, and the zones inside them.
How does Canopy handle labor?
Hours and units are recorded by work type, and Canopy compares them with your own standards and baselines. Crews are modeled as capacity, not rosters, so Canopy stores no wages, pay rates or personal worker records.
How does work reach the crew?
Tasks are tied to a zone and carry a time window, a duration, a headcount and a priority. Tasks and scheduling are in pilot with early customers, and a crew mobile app for tasks, picks and scouting is in build. Ask us where each stands for your operation.
Do I need Canopy hardware?
Only for the parts that touch the yard. Where Canopy runs irrigation, one Canopy device per site connects to relay boards that switch your existing valves. We pair the device and map each relay to its valve.
What happens if the internet goes down?
Irrigation keeps running. The on-farm device holds its schedule and carries on without a connection, and it serves a local page on your farm network so you can see what it is doing.
How does weather-based scheduling work?
Once a day, Canopy takes yesterday's evapotranspiration and rainfall for your site and scales each zone's runtime from its own leaching-fraction test. Rain is subtracted and the result stays inside the limits you set for the zone. Weather comes from a public forecast service by default, or from your own Ambient Weather station.
Can we ask for changes?
Yes, from inside Canopy. Support, feature and bug requests are built into the product, with an AI guide that helps you write a clear request and confirm it before it is filed. Each request reaches the people building Canopy with the context they need, and you can see what you have asked for. In-product requests are in early access, with the assistant.
Who can see our data?
Only your organization. Every request is checked on the server against the organization it belongs to, and users have viewer, operator or administrator roles. Labor is recorded as hours by work type, so Canopy does not store wages or personal worker details. Your own systems can reach your data through the Canopy API, which is in early access.
How do we get started?
Request a demo and walk us through your operation. If it is a fit, we set up your organization and administrator account, your work types and crews with you, and, where Canopy will run irrigation, install the on-farm device and map your relays to valves.
