In Floriday, it is easy to search and order based on current offers using Explorer. That includes Clock pre-sales offers. This gives you, as a buyer, an even wider range to purchase from. Here are some tips on how you can now do that even more easily and quickly.
With Clock pre-sales, you can place orders before the auction process starts (from 12 noon until 5.55 a.m. the next day). This gives you, as a buyer, the option of placing orders for as little as just one crate the day before. Delivery is through the standard auction logistics process. This way you can place orders as it suits you!
Clock Pre-sales in Floriday Explorer
From the Explorer search screen, you can click directly on the 'Royal FloraHolland Clock Pre-sales' icon. You can then instantly see all the Clock Pre-sales offers available. It is also easy to select Clock pre-sales in Explorer next to the Direct sales stock.
Tips for even better results
Did you know that filters in Explorer make work even easier and quicker? Once you have found a good set of filters, you can save it and select it straight away next time. Here are our tips:
● Use the VBN product group filter to choose the groups whose offers you want to see all at the same time.
● For each item, you will see the date when the item is due to be auctioned. This also lets you know which day the item will be delivered.
● Use your settings in Floriday to set preferences that make ordering easier. By default you will see the item name a grower provides for any item in Explorer. You can also choose to display the VBN Product Name. If future you will also be able to sort by VBN Product Name in Explorer.
● You can also set a default plate and/or seat number for your Clock pre-sale orders in preferences. This will then always be filled in automatically when placing orders.
Clock pre-sales experiments
Royal FloraHolland recently conducted three experiments to offer growers more sales opportunities with Clock pre-sales. These experiments looked at bringing the start time forward, being able to offer 100% of the offers through Clock pre-sales and being able to make price adjustments across the day (both up and down). The results will be shared soon.
