Olav Thon Group Chose Vieri: – We Save Both Costs and Time

Control and user-friendliness were important when Olav Thon Gruppen was looking for a new procurement system. – The system must be intuitive for the user, says Jorunn Hellum, Category Manager Procurement at Olav Thon Gruppen.

– The overarching idea is that everything we buy is in Vieri, regardless of department. This is something we want to develop further, says Hellum.

Olav Thon Gruppen consists of many companies, with a large number of purchasers distributed across various industries such as hotels, property, shopping centres, restaurants and catering, etc.

– Vieri is personal, so if I order something, the order and invoice are automatically marked with the correct person, department and company. This reduces the number of incorrect invoices and credit notes. This means we save both costs and time, says Hellum.

Everything gathered in one place

Olav Thon Gruppen has central agreements with its suppliers. Therefore, it is important to have a system that ensures all purchasers get products and services at the agreed price.

– Vieri gives us control and statistics over our procurement. It ensures us goods and services at the right price and an overview of costs. In addition, invoices can be automatically matched to each individual order, something the accounting department is very happy about, says Hellum.

Why they chose Vieri

When Olav Thon Gruppen began searching for a new procurement system, they were in contact with several providers.

– The most important thing for us was to have a system that is intuitive and user-friendly because we have many people who will use the service. In addition, Vieri has location restrictions. This means that purchasers around the country automatically get the right selection of local goods and services, says Hellum.
