Your compliance file.
Finally one system.
UK horticulture businesses answer to APHA, HSE, the Environment Agency, HMRC, and their local authority, often all at once. Most of that gets managed across paper files and spreadsheets that don't talk to each other. HortTrack replaces it with a single system of record and one alerts-first dashboard, built specifically for commercial horticulture.
30 days full access. No credit card. Set up for your sector in minutes.
Five regulators.
One filing cabinet.
Paper files nobody can search
Spray records in a folder in the office. Plant passports in another. When an inspector asks for last month's pre-harvest interval compliance, someone has to go and find it by hand.
Spreadsheets that don't talk to each other
A worker compliance tracker here, a COSHH spreadsheet there, a separate one for water abstraction. Nothing links up, so nothing tells you what's actually due.
Compliance that lives in one person's head
The person who knows when the biosecurity inspection is due, or which client site needs a fresh risk assessment, goes on holiday. Or leaves. And takes the knowledge with them.
No single view of what's due, and when
APHA wants one thing on one schedule. HSE wants another. The Environment Agency, HMRC, and your local authority all have their own. Nobody has time to track five separate calendars by hand.
Eight sectors. One system, tuned to each.
HortTrack sets your interface at onboarding. A nursery doesn't see a landscaping company's PUWER inspections. A spray contractor doesn't wade through an allergen register built for market gardens. You only see the compliance obligations that apply to your business.
Plant passport, biosecurity, spray, and worker compliance, all mandatory.
Produce marketing standards, lot traceability, allergen management.
TPO records, Conservation Area notifications, bat surveys, BS 5837 tree register.
PA1/PA6, BASIS and FACTS operator qualifications, client field application records.
Site risk assessments per client, PUWER equipment inspections, waste transfer records.
Plant passport, with the EU easement ending 31 January 2027, batch intake, restricted chemical sales.
APHA bumblebee colony licensing, irrigation water quality, peat and growing media.
Invasive species records, SSSI/AONB designated land notifications, volunteer records.
Any sector can switch this on. It adds an Approved Inputs Register and Certification Inspection Records on top of your sector's existing modules.
Five things that make this
different from a filing system.
Sector-appropriate interface
Your account shows the compliance modules your sector actually needs, not a generic list built for agriculture in general. No wading through modules that don't apply to your business.
Alerts-first dashboard
Every module pushes its deadlines to one live view. A spray re-entry interval, a COSHH review, a plant passport renewal: it all lands in the same place, so nothing slips because it was recorded in the wrong system.
Built for horticulture, not agriculture in general
MAPP numbers, pre-harvest and re-entry intervals, LERAP buffer distances, Plant Passport Parts A to D, EPPO codes. These are native fields in HortTrack, not something bolted on to a generic compliance tool.
Inspection Mode
Hand an auditor a tablet without a second thought. Inspection Mode is a PIN-protected, read-only view that auto-expires after four hours, so nothing in your live records is ever at risk.
A deadline you can't manage from a spreadsheet
The EU plant passport easement for qualifying goods ends 31 January 2027. For nurseries and garden centres, that's a compliance cliff-edge, not a distant policy change. HortTrack's Plant Passport Manager flags it directly.
Set up for your sector
in minutes. Decide after 30 days.
When you sign up, you get 30 days of full access to your sector's modules. No credit card, no stripped-down demo version. If you decide to continue afterwards, your account converts to a paid plan. If not, it simply doesn't.
Core modules on every account.
Standard modules where they apply.
Three modules are always on, whatever your sector. The rest unlock based on the sector you choose at onboarding.
Worker Compliance
Right-to-Work checks, NMW/NLW pay records, Working Time Directive 48-hour opt-outs, and holiday records.
OHAS Evidence Pack
A health and safety document repository with review-frequency alerts and a RIDDOR incident tab, including arboriculture-specific incident types such as working at height, falls from trees, chainsaw injury, and MEWP incidents.
COSHH Register
CLP hazard classifications, EH40 Workplace Exposure Limits, safety data sheet dates, PPE specs, and annual review alerts.
Spray Diary
MAPP number, weather at time of application, rate against label maximum, pre-harvest and re-entry intervals, and LERAP buffer distances.
Plant Passport Manager
Parts A to D for incoming and outgoing stock, EPPO codes, and an EU/NI qualifying-goods flag, with an amber banner flagging the 31 January 2027 easement deadline.
Biosecurity Log
Inspection types and APHA notification tracking, recorded against your plant material as it moves.
Water Abstraction Log
Licence register, daily metering, and threshold alerts, so you know before you're close to a limit rather than after.
Peat Tracker
Purchase log, percentage peat content, supplier, and crop area. England is committed to ending the use of peat in professional horticulture, but legislation has not yet commenced. Use the Peat Tracker to prepare and record progress toward your peat-free target ahead of it.
Export & Inspection
Inspection-mode controls and an export readiness checklist, so pulling records together for a buyer or a regulator isn't a scramble.
Sector-specific modules
Arboretum & Tree Surgery
Tree Register (BS 5837 category, next inspection date) and Protected Species Assessments (bat potential rating, European Protected Species Licence).
Market Garden
Harvest & Produce Log and Allergen & Traceability Register.
Spray Contractor
Operator Qualifications Register.
Landscaping & Grounds Maintenance
Client Site Register and PUWER Equipment Inspection Log.
Garden Centre & Retail Nursery
Batch Intake Log and Restricted Chemical Sales Log.
Soft Fruit & Protected Cropping
Pollinator Colony Records and Irrigation Water Quality Log.
Amenity & Parks Management
Invasive Species Register, Volunteer Records, and Designated Land Register.
Any sector, Organic overlay
Approved Inputs Register and Certification Inspection Records.
Hand over your tablet.
Not your live data.
Every business on HortTrack ends up in front of an inspector eventually. Inspection Mode and the audit trail exist so that moment doesn't put your live records at risk, and so the history behind them can stand up to scrutiny.
The audit trail is tamper-resistant: protected by role-based access control and uneditable by any user account, including yours. It doesn't use cryptographic signing or write-once storage, so we won't call it tamper-proof. But nobody can quietly edit history.
Every account is set to England, Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland at onboarding. A jurisdiction indicator appears on every legislation-sensitive page: Spray Diary, Plant Passport, Water Abstraction, Peat Tracker, OHAS, and Biosecurity.
Every create, update, and deletion is logged: entity, record, action, who, and when. Protected by role-based access control and uneditable by any user account.
Auto-expiring after four hours. Hand over a read-only view of your records without any risk to your live data.

Built by someone answering
to the same regulators.
Tony O'Neill MCIHort FRSA built HortTrack the way he built GrowTrack: by starting with a problem he could see clearly. GrowTrack is his consumer app, built for home gardeners who want a record of their own garden instead of generic advice. HortTrack is a different product for a different audience: commercial horticulture businesses carrying real regulatory weight across APHA, HSE, the Environment Agency, HMRC, and local authorities.
Tony also founded Simplify Gardening, and is working toward the industry's Chartered recognition himself. That's part of why HortTrack is built as a genuine trade tool rather than a content extension: it has to hold up to the same standards he's asking the profession to hold him to.

Paper files and disconnected spreadsheets get you through an inspection eventually. HortTrack means you already know what's due before anyone asks. Set up your sector, set your jurisdiction, and see your first alerts dashboard in minutes.
