Byggmesterkjeden chooses Digitrade

Rosenholm, December 30, 2009 – The new Norwegian company, Byggmesterkjeden AS, has enlisted Infonor Systems to be their eCommerce partner and are now implementing Digitrade as their Purchasing Portal.

Byggmesterkjeden was established this autumn and will offer small and medium sized entrepreneurs and master builders beneficial terms and conditions negotiated with suppliers and manufacturers in the building and construction industry. Products with these terms and conditions are made available to the members for ordering in a Purchasing Portal delivered by Infonor Systems AS in Q1 2010. The first member will be operational in April 2010.

The Purchasing Portal, based on Infonor Systems’ Digitrade product, will in phase one comprise process- and functional- support for import of product information from NOBB, administration of supplier agreements, catalogs, structures and members, plus publishing of product information, product ordering and order management.

“Simplicity and efficiency are our main focus – the members will easily find their needed product, be presented up to date and clearly set out information that makes it easy for them to buy”, says Tom Kolberg, Managing director for Byggmesterkjeden AS, and adds, “we will at the chain administration center simply and efficiently administer information and transactions through automation and integration to keep cost of administration at a minimum”, and continues ”it was natural for me to contact Infonor Systems when we established Byggmesterkjeden and needed a partner to discuss our eCommerce solution. From earlier cooperation, at the time when I was responsible for implementing an eCommerce solution at Gresvig, I knew that Infonor Systems had a flexible product and the knowledge, experience and flexibility I needed in our establishing phase. They also give us predictability when it comes to investments and costs”.

“We appreciate this exiting opportunity and are greatful for the confidence Byggmesterkjeden has given us. We are looking forward to implement and operate their Purchasing Portal and further develop our partnership. This proves that our product Digitrade, and our service oriented business model (SaaS), comprise necessary flexibility and cost efficiency to develop new business concepts for an ever changing marketplace”, says Roar Rådahl, Managing director at Infonor Systems.
