Buyers increasingly want to be able to see future supply and, if necessary, be able to place orders on it. They are therefore increasingly likely to ask you as a grower to enter your prices in advance. This can easily be done in Floriday using the Forward prices function. In addition, you can always copy weekly prices from previous weeks with the copy week button.

You can easily manage future supply using the availability slider. You can easily enter the quantities and prices for the entire year. You can then use the availability slider to indicate whether there is actually supply in certain weeks.

In Floriday, you can determine from when a buyer may order on future supply by setting the order period. The order period is a minimum of 1 week and a maximum of 52 weeks. Depending on the number of weeks that you set here, the buyer can order on supply x number of weeks before the delivery period. Read more about the order period

Future supply using forward prices

Through forward prices, you can plan your supply in the list prices a year in advance. Buyers can, depending on your order period, also pre-order this supply in Floriday or make a request.

How does it work?


In Floriday, go to Supply > Direct sales > Catalog prices. Select the trade items for which you want to enter forward prices. Select Forward prices in the green bar that appears at the bottom of the screen.

You then select the weeks for which you want to set the quantities and prices. You can then enter the quantities and prices for each item. You also have the option of entering the quantities/prices for multiple items at once. You can do this by selecting the multi-selection box for the lines.

Once you have entered the quantities and prices, you can click Save in the top right corner. The quantities and prices have been entered and the availability slider for these weeks is now automatically enabled. If you still want to adjust the availability for certain weeks, you can easily do so. Read about the options here.


What do the colours mean in forward prices?

With forward prices, you often see the weeks with the colours yellow and green. The weeks shown in green mean that those weeks have the same price as the week you are looking at the forward price from.

Yellow means that these weeks have a different price compared to the week you go to the forward prices from.


Availability per week

When entering catalog prices, you work with a weekly availability slider. This allows you, as a grower, to maintain excellent control over your current and future supply. Want to know how you can do this easily? Read on to find out!


Copy availability by week

You can easily copy availability (and/or numbers and prices) from another week. Click on the arrow next to Copy week ...

By default, availability is off and the other options are on. Select a week of your choice and what you want to transfer for the week you are working.

Then click on Copy week .. . The data will be copied as you indicated. Please note here that availability is transferred immediately. You don't need to save this again at the bottom under Catalog prices. However, the numbers and/or prices still need to be saved.
