Logistics that moves with you

With today's challenges, we understand better than anyone 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 sell, logistics moves with you.

Complete logistics solutions: from A to Z

We set up logistic processes for all hubs and every sales channel in the same way. Together with logistics partners, we then 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.
  • Supplying will be even easier: multiple auction groups can already be put on one trolley and soon it will be possible to do the same with products yet to be auctioned, directly traded, and unsold products.
  • Up for auction, sold or unsold: anything can go in a truck. You can also combine collection with the issue and return of packaging units and trolleys.
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 because we can combine processes. As a grower, you have a choice: leave the logistics from A to Z to us oropt for help with certain elements:
  • Supplying large lots without worrying about trolley construction and selling from one of our hubs: you can switch between sales channels until the last minute, we take care of the logistics processing and reliable delivery. That way, your customers receive their purchases at lightning speed.
  • New logistics activities focused on e-commerce and international business: we take care of product processing for you and provide support for import and export.

The customer decides: set up logistics to suit you

We set up our processes so growers and buyers themselves can ensure that the services they purchase align seamlessly with their own processes. In doing so, we focus mainly on meeting your needs: we offer time slots, a buyer selects the delivery time and soon the desired trolley assembly. 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 organise both sales and logistics.
  • With a new chain standard for lot identification , you no longer need to distinguish between sales channels.
  • Stock at our hubs? Manage it on Floriday. Once you have sold lots, we immediately adjust the stock and arrange delivery at the desired time.
  • Track products from departure to delivery with Track & Trace, thereby improving delivery predictability.
  • Arrange all matters related to packaging units, such as collection and return, as well as other logistics supplies on Floriday.

An efficient logistics network

The currently still fragmented chain is gradually making way to 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 works 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 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.
