The master data managed by Floricode is distributed to its subscribers in the form of data files. We do this through API services. Floricode offers a wide range of API services for growers, buyers, and transporters alike. Choosing the right one is not always easy. That’s why this page provides an overview to help you make a selection based on your company’s activities and specific needs.
Each API service supports particular business activities for growers and/or buyers and offers specific benefits depending on how extensively your company uses its computer system. Nearly all software suppliers in the sector have already integrated our API services into their software packages and can support you—whether it involves product codes, company codes, or up-to-date certification data for all growers.
