PipeChain’s digital business communication solution for the construction industry

As a leading supplier of system solutions in Supply Chain, PipeChain has taken a step forward in its development by adapting its platform to meet the increased requirements and standards in the construction industry. With a focus on offering efficient and digitalized processes, PipeChain has recently launched an updated system solution that complies with the new BEAst 4.0 standard and responds to the increased requirements of authorities such as the Swedish Transport Administration.

BEAst Supply 4.0: The future standard for digital business communication

BEAst, stands for “The Construction Industry’s Electronic Business Standard”, has long been a key player in the construction industry to facilitate digital business communication between different parties. With the latest version, BEAst Supply 4.0, the organization is now striving to create the conditions for an international level of digital business communication. One of the most significant aspects of this standard is the implementation of digital delivery notes for climate reporting. This means that environmental data for delivered services are collected and sent to customers and clients via digital delivery notes according to BEAst Supply 4.0, enabling a permanent solution for communication through the Peppol network.

History of PipeChain

PipeChain, founded in 1999, has a long history of developing system solutions to streamline the flow of processes within Supply Chain. In 2012, PipeChain expanded its vision and adapted the platform to meet the needs of companies in the construction sector. Since then, PipeChain’s system solution has been used in over 1500 construction projects and is currently used in over 400 projects.

PipeChain’s vision for the construction sector

The construction industry has high requirements for traceability, not least in terms of the environment and the management of hazardous waste. By digitizing information flows, you save time and gain full control at all stages of the project, with up-to-date regulations and data.

Since joining BEASt in 2012, PipeChain has actively worked to meet the standards in the construction industry. Through collaboration with partners, PipeChain has developed previous system solutions to meet the latest requirements from BEAst 4.0 and the Swedish Transport Administration. A significant update of the platform has been implemented to include the collection and reporting of environmental data, such as fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and other relevant parameters, which is compiled on digital delivery notes and sent to the client for increased transparency and reporting.

Benefits of the PipeChain system solution

PipeChain’s system solution offers contractors and clients in the building and construction industry the opportunity to easily manage delivery notes, present and compile environmental data, and approve information digitally. Another important feature is invoice matching, which in a time-efficient way reduces the administration. Through automated communication and clear transparency, efficiency and insight are created in the various phases of the project.

The benefits of using PipeChain’s system solution include:

• All suppliers available within the same system = less risk of something falling through the cracks.
• Warnings before problems occur = can avoid costly situations
• Cloud-based software = everything is always up to date
• Reduces manual handling = increases the precision of processes

With increasing demands for digitalization in the construction industry, PipeChain’s SaaS solution enables a smooth transition to digital processes. By offering support for integration and onboarding of suppliers and clients, PipeChain serves as a reliable partner to meet industry standards, legal requirements and sustainability initiatives.

Summary

In summary, PipeChain has taken a significant step forward by offering a system solution that not only meets the latest requirements, but also enables efficient and sustainable digital communication in the construction industry. With a focus on facilitating processes and increasing transparency, PipeChain becomes an important player for the future of the industry.
