    Our Mission

    Our Mission

    At The Picas Group, we empower growers in the horticulture industry with innovative software, technology, and service solutions rooted in integrity, deep industry knowledge, and authentic partnerships. We work alongside our customers as true collaborators—understanding their operations and driving sustainable success through trusted relationships and a shared commitment to continuous improvement and excellence. 


    Our Values

    Our Values

    At The Picas Group, our core values serve as a guiding compass—aligning our team, setting clear expectations for our customers, and holding us accountable to deliver the highest quality products and services.

    Integrity

    We act with honesty, transparency, and accountability. This is essential to our work and key to delivering the best service to our customers.

    Empowerment

    We don’t just serve the horticulture industry—we understand it. Our deep knowledge of greenhouse operations allows us to deliver software solutions that align with growers needs, and give them the tools they need to optimize their greenhouse.

    Partnership

    We believe lasting success comes from working side-beside with our customers. By deeply understanding operations along with their goals, we build trust, foster collaboration and create solutions that drive impactful results.

    The people we've worked with in the last few years have been great and very helpful. Between going to the Picas Conference a few times and seeing you guys at Trade Shows, it's really nice to have faces with names and not just generic emails being sent from a huge company. The customer service and everyone I've met at Picas have been great.
