Marketplace network
Doing business via a quick, stable and reliable network connection
For remote buying, electronic clock transactions (ECT), internet and communications between your box and your place of purchase, a good and secure network connection is essential. Our Marketplace Network offers you the capacity and possibilities that you need.
Your benefits
- Faster, more stable and reliable than the public internet
- Less risk of viruses and other electronic threats
- Support tailored to your purchase and auction process
What does it cost?
One-off fee for your connection to the Marketplace Network:
- laying glass-fibre link (including network equipment): € 1,355 or
- network equipment alone (if a glass-fibre link is already present): € 596 or
- connection cost (if a glass-fibre link and network equipment are already present): € 161
A standard subscription to MPN-KOA (for Remote Buying, 5 MB) costs € 54.20 per month. Increasing the number of MBs costs € 10.84 extra per month for each MB.
A subscription to MPN-EKT (for electronic clock transactions) costs € 69 per month, and a subscription to MPN-Vlan (your own network link) costs € 54.20 per month for each box or buyer's workstation.
How does it work?
You choose among the three possibilities:
- Remote Buying (MPN-KOA) - With MPN-KOA you buy directly from all flower and plant clocks at our export locations. All purchases, the complete supply of flowers and plants and the auction times for each clock are visible.
- Electronic clock transactions (MPN-EKT) - With MPN-EKT you receive your electronic clock transactions directly on your mailserver. You will also receive other electronic mail messages through this link, such as the electronic invoice and electronic order processing of direct trade.
- Your own network inside the Marketplace Network (MPN-Vlan) - With MPN-Vlan you have a network link between your own locations. For example, between your box and one or more buyer's workstations or between two or more boxes. Network links between boxes and buyer's workstations at different auction locations are also possible.
The Marketplace Network is a high-availability glass-fibre network. Because it is a closed system, there is less risk of viruses and other electronic threats. To make use of the network, you need a box or office space at Royal FloraHolland. For internet via the Marketplace Network we work together with the providers Cbizz, Commplaza and Eurofiber. The prices of the internet connection and subscription can be requested from these providers.
