Schibsted is a family of digital brands with a mission to empower people in their daily lives by providing leading online marketplaces and building world-class media houses.

On their journey to further develop, Schibsted was looking for one invoice distribution partner for all Nordic countries and decided to partner with Orbyt.

It was important for Schibsted to find a forward-leaning partner with good routines for data storage, data security, and error handling.

“We had the advantage of having used other vendors earlier, therefore we could make a decision based on experience. Orbyt was quick in their response, and we could see how much work they had put into it. We got the impression that they really wanted to work with us”

says Rune Gulliksen, Lead Solutions Architect, at Schibsted Media.

One platform across countries  

Orbyt is an expert in the invoicing and payments universe and delivers one common invoice distribution platform across all markets that Schibsted is present in. Implementing Orbyt will automate and standardize the invoice process, hence reducing the total cost for Schibsted, while providing a cost-efficient, professional, and reliable service.

“We have a global mindset, even if there are differences between countries, we want a global template and be as harmonized as possible. This is much easier with one vendor rather than several vendors. With Orbyt we can roll out across all locations at once”

says Leiv-Håkon Åsheim, Lead Solutions Architect at Schibsted Marketplace.

“With Orbyt we have one delivery point and one platform to deal with”

Rune Gulliksen adds.

Good process  

At Orbyt we focus on delivering a service to our customers that leverages our deep knowledge of the industry we serve, their needs, and issues, and combining that with our product expertise within distribution, invoicing, and payments.

Schibsted was looking for a partner who could offer their expertise and recommendations.

“Orbyt has a competent team who are solution-oriented, much more than what we are used to with other vendors. During the implementation project the team has been proactive, coming up with suggestions and making recommendations rather than simply demanding what is needed to get us into production”

says Anton Green Fudali, project manager at Schibsted.

“The dialogue has been good from the start, Orbyt has been quick on their feet. I have nothing but positive things to say about the process of delivery and responses. Orbyt has shown that their expertise is solid. It has been a positive mentality throughout the whole project, it has been great to work with Orbyt so far”

Rune Gulliksen says.

Expectations

Going forward Schibsted is expecting precision and to get feedback on their requirements, not only execution.

“Orbyt has the experts, and we expect their guidance, especially when it comes to the market, new channels, etc. We expect the same good flow and collaboration with the same level of response, quality, and security in deliveries that we received so far. Precision is key”

says Leiv-Håkon Åsheim.
