One of the Nordic region's largest building materials suppliers establishes a common, governed product master data foundation to support documentation, sustainability requirements, operational efficiency, and future use of AI
AARHUS, Denmark, Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Stibo Systems, the largest independent provider of master data management (MDM) and the company behind the trusted intelligence platform, today announced that Bygma, one of the largest suppliers of building materials in the Nordic region, has selected Stibo Systems to establish trusted product and master data as the foundation of its business.
Headquartered in Denmark, Bygma sells and distributes construction products to professional contractors and private customers through an extensive network of branches across Denmark, Sweden, Iceland, the Faroe Islands, Greenland and Poland. Operating at that scale means managing large volumes of product documentation, certifications, and sustainability data across multiple countries, regulatory regimes, and sales channels — and being able to stand behind every figure.
As Bygma has grown across markets and product categories, the requirements for consistent product data, documentation and governance have increased significantly. By establishing a common, governed source of truth, Bygma aims to standardize and scale product data processes across the Group and ensure that people and systems can act on reliable information with confidence.
Bygma's investment in Stibo Systems product information management (PIM) and MDM addresses three priorities:
- Data that stands up to scrutiny: Meeting requirements for sustainability reporting, product documentation, certifications, and traceability with information that is complete, current, and auditable.
- Reduced operational risk and greater efficiency: Standardizing product data processes and reducing manual workflows and dependencies across the organization.
- A trusted source of truth: Eliminating fragmented product data and manual workflows by consolidating product master data onto one governed platform.
With this foundation in place, Bygma expects to automate PIM processes and integrations with external systems, support ESG compliance requirements, increase the efficiency of product data work, and scale the platform as the business grows. Governed and verified data will also provide the foundation for future use of AI where it can create value for the business.
"Governed master data is not merely a record of what exists. It is the context that allows people and AI to act with confidence, at scale, and within the rules a business is held to," said Adrian Carr, CEO of Stibo Systems. "That is the difference between holding a lot of data and having trustworthy intelligence. It is not complicated, but it does take discipline. What we recognized in Bygma is a business that already understood that. They are not treating master data as a back-office tidy-up. They are treating it as a strategic foundation for their continued growth and digital development, and we are excited to be helping them build it."
"Reliable product data is becoming increasingly important to our customers and to our own operations. As documentation and sustainability requirements increase, we need a strong, common foundation across the Group," said Preben Nielsen, Group CPO at Bygma. "We chose Stibo Systems because they demonstrated a deep understanding of our situation, our business, and the environment we operate in. We have full confidence in their ability to deliver on this commitment, and we look forward to beginning the implementation process."
Bygma's business priorities reflect a pattern Stibo Systems sees across the distribution and building materials sector: tightening documentation and sustainability requirements are turning product data quality from an efficiency question into a question of trust — with regulators, with customers, and across the digital systems businesses increasingly rely on.
