We Are Partnering with EG SmartKalk

We have some exciting news, especially for our Norwegian users! We have entered into a partnership with EG SmartKalk.

This collaboration introduces a new type of export function, enabling users to export project data and seamlessly import it into EG SmartKalk. The export feature is based on a structured JSON format. EG SmartKalk is a key player in the construction sector in Norway, so we are pleased to offer this update to all our Norwegian customers.

Tommy Brede, agent for Rukkor in Norway, comments on the partnership:

"This new export function is a great benefit for our shared customers. It simplifies the process of importing their quantities into SmartKalk to finalize construction estimates. This is an initial version, allowing us to collect feedback, and hopefully, we can continue to develop it to make export and import even better."
