Concept of the EOS (1)Seller/Grower side

• Growers store offer information in database
  connected to the Internet
• on-line or
• via EDI(fact) messages
• Offers can be addressed (with different prices)
  to all buyers/traders or to distribution lists
  with one or more names
• Offers can be connected to generic or actual (own
  made) images
• Orders are received as e-mail or EDI(fact) order
• After sending a confirmation the deal is closed
• Grower and trader must agree about transportation
  (prices are ex works)

15
What is the European Offer Service (EOS)?
Concept of the EOS (2)Buyers/Trader side

• Traders look/browse in All offers (visible for
  all traders) or in Direct offers (only visible
  for specific traders)
• There are different search mechanism to find the
  right products
• They shop and put products in one or more baskets
  (one basket per grower)
• When they leave the market, the basket(s) must
  be confirmed ( order(s) sent to grower(s))
• When an confirmation is received the deal is
  closed
• Trader and growers must agree about
  transportation (prices are ex works)

Why the DD systematic and EOS?
17
Why the DD systematic?

• The DD systematic is the only European standard
  there is
• Holland is dominant/leading in European
  horticulture sector
• Have a standard is much more beneficial than keep
  on searching for the best standard
  (Apple-Windows, Video VCC2000-VHS etc.)
• The Danish DANPOT accepted the systematic
• Avoid to become an island, connect to the
  possible future European standard back-bone

18
Why EOS?

• EOS is owned and set-up by an independent party
  (DDCC)
• EOS is an opportunity to sell/market your
  products via other channels
• EOS uses the Internet as fast growing sales
  channel
• EOS is based on the DD standard systematic
• EOS is not developed to make money but to improve
  efficiency in the supply chain
