seed bank

Tranen maintains a seed bank for storage of its customers' seeds. These are kept in a separate facility to Tranen's own seed stocks, and are managed through a separate database. As at May 2010 we are storing seeds for 28 clients, mostly utilities, local government, land developers and other clients who have engaged us to collect seeds on their behalf.

Details of all seeds kept in our bank are stored in our custom database. Reports can be easily generated from the database, such as stock on hand or withdrawal reports for seed tracking.

We charge a fixed annual fee to cover our storage and general administrative costs, and modest transaction fees to cover our costs of processing deposits and withdrawals.

This service particularly suits local government, where seeds may be collected by "friends of" and community groups, as they can rest assured that the seeds are stored under appropriate conditions, and that records kept up to date, irrespective of changes to or availability of personnel in the friends or community groups.
