Stricter Requirements for Traceability and Sustainability
EU regulations and customer expectations have put growing pressure on building suppliers to document everything from vehicle emissions to climate data in invoices. We must deliver on traceability, plan deliveries in detail, and report our carbon footprint, explains Frode Ødegård, Logistics Manager at Mestergruppen.
Previously, logistics processes relied on manual methods like Excel and email, which were inefficient and unable to meet today’s standards. Customers also demanded flexibility, preferring frequent, smaller deliveries to reduce waste and ensure smooth workflows on construction sites.

We are better prepared than ever, and Log:Nett gives us a competitive edge in an increasingly demanding market, Ødegård concludes.
