TECHSTEP TO DELIVER MOBILITY SOLUTIONS TO THE NORWEGIAN AGRICULTURAL COOPERATIVES

Techstep has together with Telenor won a three-year framework agreement with Agrikjøp AS, a joint purchasing organisation for Norwegian agricultural cooperatives and their subsidiaries. Techstep and Telenor will ensure cost-effective, simple and secure mobility solutions for Agrikjøp’s member organisations and their employees.

Under the framework agreement, the agricultural cooperatives will have access to mobility solutions tailored to the needs of the company and its employees. The solution comprises key components including mobile devices such as mobile phones and tablets, related equipment, security solutions, software for telecom expense management, setup, operating and support services, and financing (Mobile-as-a-Service). The cooperatives will also have access to Techstep’s Nordic support services, as several operate across borders in the Nordic region.

Techstep’s subsidiary, Nordialog Oslo AS, has held a supplier agreement with Agrikjøp since 2013. Techstep and Telenor’s ability to jointly deliver a comprehensive, easy and cost-effective solution led to the extension of the supplier agreement.

“Mobile technology offers enterprises great opportunities. We are very pleased to continue our good cooperation with Agrikjøp, which represents many large companies with highly mobile employees. We will meet mobility requirements of drivers, warehouse workers, sales and administration who all need high standards of quality, security and competence. We look forward to helping them to a simpler and more efficient working day, “says CEO Jens Haviken in Techstep.

For Techstep, the framework agreement has an estimated total value of up to NOK 75 million over three years, starting from 1 July 2018. The agreement includes two options one year extensions with annual renewal.
