We’re rethinking plant records through user-centred design and technology

We believe technology should be reliable, feel effortless and provide new opportunities and above all, make it easier for botanical collection holders to reach their goals in the important work they do. The concerns and needs of the community are our driving force and inspiration.

Botanical Solutions at Species360

At Species360, our mission is to help institutions to better manage their zoological, aquatic and botanical collections, and to inform global species conservation efforts. We’re a non-profit tech company serving over 1,400 members in nearly 100 countries around the world.

In December 2022, the team at Botanical Software joined Species360 as the newly formed Botanical Solutions department, expanding our mission to include plant species conservation.

With more than a decade of experience working on developing plant records solutions for the community of botanic gardens, Botanical Software had recently started working on the next generation plant record system Hortis.

Hortis, launched in 2021, is a plant collection platform which extends beyond the traditional definition of a plant records system. Our aim is to redefine the role and usefulness of plant records in botanic gardens through innovation.
