Customised logistics tomorrow

With all the challenges faced by the floriculture industry, we understand that logistics must be flexible, efficient and reliable. Logistics connects the entire chain, from grower to buyer. As the linchpin in the chain, we see opportunities to organise it in a smarter and more customer-orientated way, nationally and internationally. Together with other logistics service providers and linked to Floriday, we are building a logistics network and offer logistics services from A to Z. No matter how you buy, logistics are tailored to your needs.

The customer decides: set up logistics to suit you

We design our logistics processes in a way that gives you the freedom to choose which services you need and want to receive. Our services are totally focused on your needs. We offer time slots and you can select the delivery time and later also the desired trolley composition, per hub, per day, per buyer plate and per sales channel. Whether you outsource logistics from A to Z or just elements of it, you can arrange everything easily and digitally on Floriday. A single point from which you easily trade and arrange customised logistics:
  • Floriday is developing a new chain standard for lot identification that eliminates the need for stickers and makes lots easily traceable. This will save you time and money and provide insight.
  • Track products from departure to delivery with Track & Trace, regardless of sales channel, thereby improving delivery predictability.
  • Coordinate the purchasing and delivery to make the best use of your days (time), people and space.

Comprehensive logistics solutions: from A to Z

We set up logistics processes for all hubs and every sales channel in the same way. Together with logistics partners, we ensure that transport, logistics supplies and hub processes are better aligned.
  • The same processes at all hubs: in addition to order picking for the distribution of auction and direct trade, we’re also going to organise processes such as cross-docking, sorting, processing and packaging washing the same way everywhere.
Consistency in working methods everywhere not only results in increased efficiency and central control of logistics processes, but also offers new opportunities for more comprehensive services along with new services because we can combine processes. As a buyer, you have the choice: set up the logistics from A to Z, leave it all to us or get our help with certain elements.
  • This could include services that are e-commerce and internationally focused. We’d take care of product processing for you and provide support with export.

An efficient logistics network

The currently fragmented chain is gradually making way for a data-driven and efficient logistics network linked to Floriday. A network between growers, RFH hubs, other logistics providers and buyers, as well as gateways to other countries. A logistics network that benefits everyone:
  • Everyone in the network uses the same standard for lot identification, allowing products to move smoothly and traceably through the chain.
  • From shared data and aligned processes, we combine volumes in the best possible way and plan smart transport routes. In the long run, this saves time and money. Thanks to the reduction in CO2 emissions, it is also more environmentally friendly.
  • A network focused on meeting demand: we deliver in the time slots that buyers select. The distribution that occurs allows us to better engage employees with contracts for more hours as well as optimise the use of our buildings and resources.
  • The connection of processes and parties within this network expands the possibilities for comprehensive logistics services.
This is customised logistics for tomorrow.
