Creating supply for Daytrade
Early in the day, you make your batches available for Daytrade in Floriday. These numbers are based on a commercial estimate and you can adjust it further during the day.
Go to Supply > Daytrade in the menu. In this screen you can directly create batches for the Daytrade.
By clicking on the gear on the right you can set the auction locations. This way you can indicate here which hubs you want to supply. When multiple locations are possible, you can set it so that the prices are entered for one location and the other locations follow that price.
At the moment it is only possible to supply Rijnsburg, Naaldwijk and Aalsmeer with Daytrade. The other auction locations will be added later.
By clicking on the truck you set your standard delivery time for the different hubs. Based on this it is determined whether earlier delivery times are possible for the buyer.
To create a Daytrade offer, go to Supply > Daytrade in the menu. You are directly in the screen to create the batches.
From this screen you can directly create supply for Floriday Daytrade. Make sure you have selected the correct stock location, if you have multiple of them. Then choose the button Create batches at the top right.
You will arrive at the screen where you can select items. You enter the number of barrels. For the recognition of the parties, it is useful to enter a reference (this reference is visible as a service code on the invoice). Then click on Confirm.
Offering batches
Numbers and prices can be flexibly adjusted by you. During the day, you receive order requests from buyers on these batches. You then bring your commercial stock to your chosen Royal FloraHolland hub. Royal FloraHolland logistics delivers these orders where we offer buyers a wide range of delivery times.
You have just chosen to offer via Daytrade from the stock. You will arrive at the Daytrade screen (Supply > Daytrade > From garden). At the top of the screen you will see From garden, Distribute and Auction location, below that you will see the batches on the stock location of your organization. Via the second field you can switch stock locations, if you have multiple.
Offering for Daytrade is done via From garden. When you later allocate the batches to the hubs, you can make later changes at Auction location, such as the clock pre-sale price.
Now that you have made these settings, you can start offering via Daytrade. The total number of batches in stock is listed under Offer. This number can be adjusted, for example if you do not want to offer everything at once. After adjusting, you can save the changes via the button at the bottom.
Then you fill in your further sales strategy. For example, you choose the pre-sale price, minimum clock price and minimum percentage that you want for the clock. Finally, you fill in the expected auction date.
Example: of the 108 packages I have in stock, I will offer all 108. I reserve 40% of them for the clock. This results in 43 packages being in the Pre-sale in the Explorer at the time of saving.
Once you click Save, the batches you have offered through Presale will become visible in the Explorer. Even if the products are still at your location! This gives buyers more time to purchase the products.
Distributing daily stock
At the last moment before your goods are being picked up, you divide the final numbers per Royal FloraHolland hub. You also have the option to still choose not to send anything to a hub.
Please note!
If a purchase has already taken place at a hub, you as a grower have a delivery obligation. You must then deliver to this Royal FloraHolland hub.
You can distribute the batches at Offer > Daytrade > Distribute. You have the option to manually enter the quantities yourself or set an automatic distribution. You can choose to make a distribution on different hubs or choose one hub.
If you want to distribute quantities automatically, choose Automatic distribute. You have the option to also have this remembered, so that it always fills in the quantities. The quantities are filled in, but you still have to create the deliveries later.
As soon as deliveries are known, they will appear at the top of the Daytrade deliveries to be processed.
The deliveries are collected under Unfulfilled Daytrade deliveries. By clicking on this you will immediately go to the screen where you can process the delivery and then print the stickers and the letter.
If you fill in the rest of the numbers, you can click on the button Add delivery order and fulfill this as well.
You then still have the option to change the delivery time and auction date.
You handle the deliveries as you always do. When handling the delivery, the stickers can be printed. This is important to report the batches correctly. When saving and submitting the delivery, the SSCC label for the cart can be printed.
The sticker size (SSCC label) that is generated in Floriday is 50 x 40 mm (horizontal). This fits well on a sticker with the size 60 x 40 mm (horizontal). A sticker printer is required to print these labels.
Please note the following points:
The regular supply regulations for the clock apply.
Indication of the products:
> For flowers: each package is given a product label (incl. administration number, company name, cultivar name, number per package, relevant sorting characteristics)
> For plants: product label is not necessary
A clear marking must be placed on each first package of a new batch to indicate where a new batch begins, e.g. with a (coloured) sticker
Each load carrier is given an SSCC label
Tips and tricks
The information for the clock (minimum price, minimum percentage and expected auction date) can be adjusted until 4:00 PM before the relevant auction day.
Please note!
At 16:00 PM the information for the clock will be definitively offered. From this moment on you as a grower can still adjust the auction order yourself, if you want to. This can be done via the settings button (button with the gear) at Supply > Auction. If you choose the bottom option (Sequence based on manually determined characteristics), you can change the auction order yourself by dragging the batches.
Want to edit a photo? Then you can easily do so in this screen using the three dots next to the photo (possible up until 16:00).
The clock pre-sale price can be adjusted up/down at any time (even after an order has been placed). You can do this in the screens under the Auction Location tab.
Via the tab From garden you can also easily correct the stock of your offered batches. This makes it extra easy to adjust the stock during the day. In addition, you can also set the batch to sold out, if it is going a little faster than expected.
Want to draw buyers' attention to supplies online? At Auction > Clock presale you will find the share button, which allows you to copy a URL which you can send. This sends them to your specific supply. You can share this link via Whatsapp or e-mail, for example.
