As a buyer, you want to do your job well and efficiently. Yet time is often wasted calling growers, waiting for confirmations and searching through different systems. There's a smarter way: real-time supply, instant confirmations and all your purchase orders in one place.

With Floriday, you have access to current supply with availability and prices in a single environment. You browse in a grower's shop, use the Explorer or order exactly what you need via a link. That way, you maintain overview as well as speed. With these five tips, you will instantly get more out of your daily trading through Floriday.

1. Everything starts in one place with all the supplies

In Floriday, supply from all national and international growers comes together, so you no longer have to search through different systems, spreadsheets or shops.

Why is this smarter? Because all information is centralised, you can instantly see what is available, what variants there are and what suits your needs. Comparisons are faster and, via API or VMP links, these supplies are available in your system in real time.

Buy smarter tip! Start in Floriday Explorer. You instantly see availability, prices and quantities; phone calls are unnecessary.

2. Choose the method that suits you

In Floriday, you can use Auction Presale, Direct sales and Explorer for your day trading, or set longer-term agreements in contracts.

Why is this smarter? Each method aligns with a different procurement need: speed through direct buying, certainty through contracts or inspiration through Explorer. This keeps you flexible without extra steps.

Buy smarter tip! See the full assortment of growers in their Floriday shop and save your favourite shops for notifications of new supplies.

3. Find real-time prices and availability

Nothing is more annoying than buying with outdated information. In Floriday, you can instantly see how much is available.

Why is this smarter? You view live stocks and prices (incl./excl. transport) and prevent incorrect picks. Order requests via VMP and API links are processed automatically, so your system is always correct.

Buy smarter tip! Do you use a buying system? Then order directly from your own environment on Floriday supply, everything neatly in one place.

4. Find new supplies

Finding specific or new supplies can take time, especially since novelties sell out quickly. Your network and filters help you search faster.

Why is this smarter? By following growers and using favourites, you will receive new supplies first and respond to trends faster.

Buy smarter tip! Filter by base item, colour, price, length or availability and add growers or products to favourites for quick overview.

5. Let customers order for themselves via MyShop

Do you want to save time and serve customers well? Let them order via MyShop.

Why is this smarter? Customers order for themselves from your selection. That saves lists, apps and manual entries. And you keep an overview of margins, order requests and availability.

Buy smarter tip! Decide for yourself which supply is visible and which price premiums apply. This is how you easily let customers purchase under your direction.
