Over 40 Years of Innovation
In the early 1980s, when personal computers began to gain popularity, Starcom saw the potential of new database tools for creating effective tracking systems tailored for small businesses in niche industries. Recognizing the specific needs of growers that generic systems failed to meet, we introduced Plant Partner in 1990.
As a family business now in its second generation, we’ve spent over forty years building and perfecting the right technology solutions for the floriculture industry. We’re always embracing new technology and expanding our solutions to better support growers, facilitate collaboration, and grow the plants of the future.
From the CEO
As the second-generation owner at Starcom, I’ve had a front row seat my whole life to what it takes to build software specific to this industry. Starting out in training and documentation I learned quickly how incredibly complicated it is to produce this breadth of beautiful plants and deliver them safely into the hands of their new caretakers. It’s a never ending technological and creative challenge to craft just the right solutions.
Over the decades I’ve grown up with my customers, taken on more and more responsibility, and after finishing my MBA, took over the family business in 2011. I’m really excited for our software, our team, and the relationships we have built, and consider it a great privilege to help the industry continue to grow stronger for the next generation.
