More About Members
GRESS is a strategic purchasing consortium for large enterprises within the hotel, canteen, restaurant, shipping, airline catering, and other related industries. Traditionally, our strongest area has been food and beverages, but we have evolved to offer supplier agreements across a wide range of products and services. Over the years, GRESS has developed into a professional procurement organization with a relatively comprehensive "purchase to pay" software solution through GRESS.NET

Gress.net is delivered in collaboration with Millum AS and Horecamarket AS.
GRESS.NET Analytics
Millions of transactions are processed throughGress.net.. This provides the procurement team with valuable insights that are used in tender processes, renegotiations, and price adjustments.
Our members are granted access to GRESS.NET ANALYTICS via our portal and/or through integration with their own systems.
Product Range and Category Development
GRESS simplifies the value chain for both members and suppliers. While member needs must be met, experience shows that they do not require 60 types of hamburgers, 5 varieties of vanilla sugar, or 200 types of pasta.
For example, we meet member needs through wholesalers with approximately one-third of the previous assortment. This creates efficiency gains throughout the entire value chain.
We also facilitate the delivery of specialty and chain-specific products from the same suppliers who provide high-volume items—ensuring consistency, simplicity, and smarter logistics.
Access to Shared Resources
GRESS works closely with our members and promotes the sharing of common resources. In addition to joint tender processes, shared distribution, and access to Gress.net, we collaborate on a project basis as well as across several key strategic areas.
Examples of our collaborative efforts include:
-
Monitoring inflation and price changes
-
Compliance with the Transparency Act
-
Climate initiatives and sustainability
-
Animal welfare standards
This joint approach strengthens our collective impact, ensures regulatory alignment, and supports responsible and efficient procurement across the value chain.
