Floriday is the central place where commercial and logistics processes are arranged. With Floriday, we are making the floriculture industry more accessible and more straightforward by providing a single open platform where growers, buyers, service providers (such as sales agents and transporters) and software providers can come together.

There are various ways in which a buyer can purchase from growers. Depending on the business operations, the appropriate functionalities can be used.


Contracts

If you often work with supply agreements (contract trading or long-term trading), for example with retailers, you can record these arrangements digitally by means of a contract. After recording, the grower keeps this supply separate for you and you can then call on this supply.


Explorer

Floriday includes an explorer where you can see all the flowers and plants on Floriday. You can search within all items in Floriday or search for current offerings. You can also find the novelties registered through Floriday here.


Direct purchasing

With the functionality ‘direct purchasing’, you place an order directly with a grower digitally. In Floriday you follow growers that you would like to do business with. They subsequently place you in a ‘customer-specific price group’, so that you always see the correct price of the products. After that, you can easily order online from these growers.

Direct Bidding

With Direct Bidding, you can easily trade with growers through bidding. You can buy products directly from growers by bidding the asking price or by making a counter bid. If the bid is lower, the deal is closed once the grower accpets the highest bid.

Purchase orders

In the overview of the purchase orders, you will see all purchase orders displayed clearly. From this screen, you can also make corrections to purchase orders. If a purchase order requires a correction, you can submit this request, after which it will end up in the overview of corrections.

Purchasing dashboard

The purchasing dashboard is the place displaying all the supply lines not matching the grower's supply lines in Floriday. If no supply is retrieved from Floriday (Florecom orders, Excel upload, manual entry), it could be that you're submitting an order with a different price, packaging configuration or availability. With the purchasing dashboard, you can match the entered order to the the growers’ supply.


Network

With the network component, you can make connections with the growers with whom you want to do business. After you have made a connection with a grower, the grower can assign you to a price group. In this way, you will immediately see the correct price that is available to you.


Linking with Floriday

If you make use of your own software package, you can link to Floriday. The functionalities above will then be used in your own package.
