Veiling Holambra: market leader in the Brazilian ornamental horticulture sector 

With more than 450 growers and over 1000 active buyers (ranging from distributors to retailers), Veiling Holambra plays a crucial role in Brazil’s ornamental horticulture industry. To strengthen its position as market leader, the company continues to invest in new logistics hubs and a recently opened ‘cash & carry’ wholesale centre. The move to KOSMOS seamlessly aligns with this strategy of further professionalisation and scalable growth. 

KOSMOS: the future-proof auction system 

KOSMOS is a cloud-based platform that makes auctions real-time, transparent, and efficient — both online and in the local auction room. With 5 auction clocks and more than 500 active users at Veiling Holambra, KOSMOS offers: 

  • Fully web-based: no local installation required 
  • Real-time auctions: instant insight into bids and outcomes 
  • User-friendly interface: intuitive for both growers and buyers 
  • Flexible & scalable: easily expandable as the cooperative grows 

Customisation through thorough GAP/FIT analysis 

A comprehensive GAP/FIT analysis mapped out the specific needs and processes of Veiling Holambra. This results in a tailor-made implementation of KOSMOS that perfectly fits the cooperative’s operational workflow and unique business models, with benefits that go beyond the ornamental horticulture sector. 

Fabio Rodrigues, CTO:
“With KOSMOS, our 450 growers and more than 1,000 customers can trade even faster and more efficiently, both in the auction room and online.”

Planning and collaboration 

The implementation is being carried out in close cooperation with Veiling Holambra. This phased approach ensures smooth technical integration and an optimal user experience for all stakeholders. The go-live of KOSMOS is scheduled for 2026. We thank Veiling Holambra for their years of trust in Aucxis and look forward to a new, successful partnership around KOSMOS.
