Aucnet provides Japan’s first Internet Flower Auctions service that links flower growers nationwide with flower shops via Internet, utilizing the concepts and system behind its TV auctions. Internet auctions let members participate from their store or home, without having to go to a market. While expanding the network available to participating members, Aucnet is focusing efforts on developing a distribution system for supplying fresh flowers quickly to the market, and provides a range of services to ensure price stability and reduce costs.
