Upgrade your business with FlowerWatch Approved
As a player in the global flower industry - whether grower, buyer, (e-)trader, or logistics provider - you are very likely missing out on value due to under-performance in your supply chain. While the quality of 70 to 80% of today's fresh-cut flowers is acceptable, a staggering 20% falls short due to supply chain issues. You can substantially increase both quality and revenues. The FlowerWatch Approved certification program brings this value creation and continuous improvement within your reach.
