Services

We go to work every day to create a healthier supplier marketplace and deliver maximum value to our members. We negotiate supplier agreements to make sure members have access to quality products and services on the best terms – with the lowest possible total cost.

Strategic procurement collaboration

Gress is a strategic procurement collaboration 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 comprehensive "purchase to pay" software solution through gress.net.

At Gress we support suppliers reduce costs, accelerate inventory turnover rate across the entire value chain, and lay the foundation for the most efficient value chain - from raw material to end customer.

Procurement collaboration

We provide our members with access to the most attractive supplier agreements in the market. In total, this includes more than 250 agreements across a wide range of categories.

GRESS.NET "Purchase To Pay"

All purchasers, managers, and key personnel are granted access to www.gress.net. The platform offers extensive functionality and supports the following processes:

Ordering of products
Structured receipt of orders from suppliers
Support for goods reception and approval
Pre-accounting and approval of payments directly into the financial system

Gress.net is delivered in collaboration with Millum AS and Horecamarket AS.

GRESS.NET Analytics

Millions of transactions are processed through Gress.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 BI systems.

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 wholesaler with approximately one-third of the previous assortment. This creates efficiency 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.

Shared resources across large companies

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.
