"What we saw at Buildit was flexibility and opportunity"
"The system is available anytime, anywhere. That extra thing there with the availability and flexibility was crucial. In addition, we were very well received by you in Buildit"
Overhalla Betongbygg is the only supplier north of Dovre that offers sanded and brushed concrete elements in all varieties. Their traditional company has developed and expanded over a number of years to become a highly adaptable and successful supplier.
Earlier this year, we interviewed Didrik Ytterdahl from Overhalla Betongbygg to gain a deeper understanding of how we as a system supplier have helped to make them a reliable and preferred supplier.
"What challenges does Build help you solve?"
"Wow! Where do we start? The system opens up more opportunities and solutions to the challenges we've had and struggled with. Previously, we used a system that didn't have updated prices, for example. This led to less accuracy and more manual work.
Build also eliminates errors that can easily occur in Excel, which we have used before. Formula errors that occurred in the calculations have now disappeared!"What's the best thing about the Buildit system?
"The best part? It's a bit two-fold. On the one hand, I would say that the system is very good for contractors who sell services, as it is a template system that provides control over templates and content that can be easily revised.
On the other hand, the system is very good for those "on the back end". Namely, those who have to ensure maintenance of the actual items in the calculation, on elements and raw materials. The system simplifies this process and makes it very simple, which is why we prefer their costing system."What, if any, challenges have you faced when using the Buildit system?
"It's something, but of course it will always happen when you change system suppliers, and we also come in with our own errors. But if there's one thing we want to address, it's the reports - there's room for improvement there.
In the Build system, you can retrieve the reports ready-made, but we have structured it a little differently. When we did it this way, it didn't work quite as we had imagined, but over time we have initiated a process that has ensured that we are satisfied here too!How do you experience Buildit as a supplier?
"Very service-minded! Just the fact that you meet our wishes and try to go out of your way to ensure that we as customers are satisfied. Whether it's small or large, we are met with the same attitude. We've developed a personal relationship with Buildit, and get answers almost to the minute."
