Zefort partners with commodity trader Norlys Energy Trading to develop its contract management solution

Zefort and Danish Norlys Energy Trading A/S have entered into a partnership in which the companies jointly develop Zefort’s smart contract management solution.

As part of the partnership, Norlys gets early access to advanced Zefort features in order to provide feedback and development ideas for Zefort’s product development. For Zefort, this means important insights to support its development roadmap. Norlys, in turn, gets to engage in open dialogue with Zefort and ultimately to optimize its processes with a state-of-the-art contract management solution.

“We aim to be one of the top European players in energy trading and forerunners of the green energy transition. A key enabler for this is building a smart, efficient organization, consisting of enthusiastic top talent and next-generation digital tools like Zefort. Finding a partner like Zefort is a dream scenario, as the teams on both sides share the same winner-mentality: We always chase the edge, which allows us to outperform our competition and to be better tomorrow than we are today,” says Johannes Leipold, Head of Legal at Norlys Energy Trading.

Norlys’ contract management strategy relies on automation and a decentralized approach, where ownership of contracts is split up and handled by the specialist teams and business functions best suited to address the specific contractual issues and activities at hand. This approach boosts contract performance and helps to keep the legal function lean and efficient in a rapidly growing organization.

“We’re thrilled to have a growth company like Norlys Energy Trading choose Zefort over other contract management solutions for exactly the reasons that make us unique – automation, ease of use, and flexibility. I’m looking forward to our cooperation,” says Jussi Karttila, CEO at Zefort.

Before selecting Zefort, Norlys evaluated a large number of contract management solutions. The company chose Zefort thanks to the team’s outstanding responsiveness, the software’s flexibility, ease of use, clarity of data structures, and the ability to interact with contract data through API solutions.
