The updated Auction use in Floriday went live in the autumn of 2021 . With this young function , you could easily and quickly create and send an auction bridge letter . Tulip agriculturalist , presently in mid - time of year , let us know what they think .
Tulip forcer Erwin de Wit of CoasTulip - Dolf de Wit uses Floriday on a daily ground . CoasTulip is a quislingism between 5 company in Heemskerk . With 5 growers , they supply exclusive tulip varieties under one brand name : CoasTulip . All year round , this involves in the region of 13 to 14 million tulip , with 95 % of these supplied through Auction . Erwin : “ We market our tulips under one brand name - always at the same time and consecutively on the Aalsmeer and Rijnsburg auction alfileria . ”
“ Up until last year , we provide to Auction through AntEAB . This programme was make well for us , but when AntEAB decided to stop we had to see for something else . Then Floriday came along , and to be honest , we were n’t glad with it at first . It was difficult to add photos , and I could n’t make any corrections if I ’d produce the ill-timed receipt . as luck would have it , much has improved . Recent changes to the creation of auction bridge letters have made living loose . For instance , we can chop-chop adjust feature , add new photograph if a tulip is more or less mature and delete alphabetic character . This is ideal ! ”
Trouble using Floriday“I do understand , however , that growers around me find it unmanageable to use Floriday . It is for sure fresh , but it is also an opportunity . In addition , innovating should be part of your job . I wish Floriday could visit all these raiser in person . With the mere , understandable speech Floriday uses , everyone should be able to see it . Even I ’ve master it ! ”
Litjens Tulpen in Creil ( Noordoostpolder ) breeds 3 million tulips in water , with the bulbs that it grows on land intended for the company ’s own forcing and for export . Kwekerij Litjens supply everything to Auction . Sander Litjens : “ We append one-half to Rijnsburg , and in recent years we have been supplying more and more to Veiling Rhein Maas ( VRM ) . We ’ve had to put in our name there . A number of trolleys also go to Eelde . We spread this out as much as potential to stagger our fairly unexampled assortment . Half of what we issue to Auction is also available for Auction Presales . sale have been go well and good lately . ”
“ We cater everything through Floriday . The programme has become simple and simpler over clip . We had to supply severally for our Auction Presales supply to VRM . However , now it ’s all the same programme . A clear monitor and the possible action of enter Auction Presales immediately . We were thrown in at the deep ending when AntEater settle to stop . So we started working with Floriday , and if we could n’t cipher something out we could always call their support department . Last twelvemonth , we yield up using the old function for Auction supplying , and started using the improved function in December . The only suggestion we still have is in sex act to the parliamentary procedure in which we have to now get in height , weight and matureness . This should be brought in course with how the auction bridge letter is printed . ”
“ As far as we ’re touch , Floriday is fine the way it is . It ’s gratuitous and why would you want to set up another scheme alongside the one you have ? I also understand the concerns of other growers ; but do n’t be afraid to just try out it . you may always call the support squad , and by investing some time in it I got the hang of how it works . ”
