During the summer weeks, the first growers were introduced to a new function within Floriday: the price groups. Many plant growers are currently spending a great deal of time filling in weekly lists for customers and keeping them up to date. This is a time-consuming weekly chore.
If, as a grower, you have to update about 80 weekly lists, then you know that you’ll be spending hours at the computer every week. With the ‘price groups’ function, you can sort your customers into different customer groups and maintain separate pricing strategies for them. One grower eventually ended up with four price groups. He set up one customer group and gave it a standard price, two groups were given a 5% and a 10% discount respectively, and one group received a surcharge. Now, he can easily present his products to these customer groups each week and save time.
"The price group function in Floriday saves me so much time. The only thing I have to do is enter a product and basic price and then link customer groups to this, instead of making weekly lists for each customer", the grower says.
In recent weeks, the first growers have been taught how to use the price groups in Floriday. Growers who currently use the weekly lists in FloraXchange will be actively approached about switching to price groups.
