Royal FloraHolland operates the world's largest international floriculture marketplace, running digital ordering and auction platforms and a logistics network linking growers and buyers across 83 countries.
Royal FloraHolland runs the world's largest international floriculture marketplace, structured as both a growers' cooperative and a commercial business. The volume is the security problem: annual turnover exceeding €5 billion, roughly 100,000 transactions per day across the cooperative and a stated 176,652 per day overall, moving through systems that connect around 3,944 affiliated growers with thousands of buyers, suppliers, and logistics partners across 83 countries. Every one of those transactions is a settlement event between parties who trust the platform to price, match, and record it correctly.
The attack surface splits along four concrete domains: digital marketplace platforms, digital ordering and auction processes, logistics and supply chain technology, and trade and transaction platforms. The product estate that carries them includes Floriday, the platform handling digital ordering and auction processes between growers and buyers; Global Sourcing Services, which extends international sourcing of flowers and plants beyond the domestic market; the Aalsmeer marketplace, the central physical auction site for global flower and plant trade and the operational heart of the network; and the logistics network that moves product from suppliers to customers on a perishable, time-critical clock. Where a marketplace sits between a grower's inventory and a buyer's payment, integrity of the transaction record and availability of the auction process are the assets worth defending.
Organizationally, the cooperative model means members are both users and stakeholders - growers hold standing in the association while the business runs commercially - so systems have to serve two constituencies at once. Sustainability is a stated strategic pillar, alongside reliable supply chains, transparent transactions, and the goal of strengthening international trade. Headquartered in Aalsmeer, Netherlands, with reach into 83 countries.
