The current Axerrio team will continue to lead Axerrio's growth strategy.

Axerrio, headquartered in Bergen op Zoom, Netherlands, has become one of the largest software providers for floral companies in the Netherlands and Europe. Axerrio's solutions and team bring in-depth expertise driving e-commerce and procurement management in Dutch auction and private channels.
