Meet Us at the NOBB Conference to Discover the New STEP-to-NOBB Connector!

We’re thrilled to announce that we’ll be exhibiting at the NOBB Conference on 13th November in Oslo. Here we’re launching an exciting new capability: the STEP-to-NOBB connector.

Built to seamlessly publish data from the STEP MDM platform to NOBB, this connector is already live with our first customer. Join us to explore how this solution can enhance your data management strategy and streamline access to the Norwegian market for building materials.

What is NOBB?

NOBB (Norsk Byggevarebase) is Norway's leading building materials database, provided by Byggtjeneste. As the central resource for product data in Norway’s building and construction industry, NOBB enables manufacturers, distributors, and retailers to exchange and access standardised, reliable product information along the digital channel supply chain.

The STEP-to-NOBB Connector: Simplifying Data Flow and Market Access

Our new STEP-to-NOBB connector allows businesses to publish accurate, compliant product information directly from the STEP MDM platform into the NOBB database. For companies already using STEP for Product Information Management (PIM) or Master Data Management (MDM), this connector automates a crucial data transfer step—improving speed, accuracy, and market responsiveness.

This connector simplifies data publication, ensuring that product information is not only accurate and up-to-date but also automatically aligned with NOBB’s standards. This is an invaluable tool for any organisation striving for consistency and efficiency in product data management while expanding into or operating within Norway.

Key Benefits of the STEP-to-NOBB Connector

  1. Streamlined Publishing: Product data flows seamlessly from STEP to NOBB, eliminating the need for manual uploads and minimising errors.
  2. Operational Efficiency: Automating data transfer between STEP and NOBB saves significant time and resources.
  3. Enhanced Data Accuracy: With a consistent data flow, businesses reduce the risk of costly errors in product information.
  4. Accelerated Time to Market: Companies can introduce new products faster with automated, reliable data transfer to NOBB.
  5. Improved Market Access: The connector makes it easy to align product data with NOBB’s standards, enabling smoother market entry and operations within Norway.

Hear Our Customer’s Story at the NOBB Conference

At the NOBB Conference, you’ll not only be able to see the STEP-to-NOBB connector in action, but you’ll also hear from our first customer on this solution, who will share the story of their digital journey. Also, we will be there with our partner Stibo Systems - a global leader in Master Data Management (MDM) solutions and the company behind the STEP platform.

Our team will be on-site and available to discuss how the STEP platform can be tailored to support your business objectives and data management needs.

Interested in learning more? Connect with us at the conference or reach out directly to discover the difference the STEP platform can make for your business.

Why PDFs Still Matter in B2B Product Communication

When people talk about digital transformation in B2B, they usually talk about portals, APIs, self-service, and AI. What they rarely talk about is PDF. And yet PDFs are still everywhere in enterprise product communication. They are used for product datasheets, technical sheets, price lists, compliance documents, customer-specific product packs, and other fixed-layout documents built from […]

PDF Turns 33 This Year and Why It's Still Relevant in 2026

PDF turns 33 this year. And if you work in product data management, it has probably been part of your output chain for most of that time, whether you think about it or not. That might sound like a strange claim to lead with. We live in a world of interactive web experiences, real-time collaboration […]

Why Asset Governance Inside STEP Has Been the Missing Piece

In a previous discussion, we explored why governance must extend beyond product data. If structured attributes and hierarchies require discipline, validation, and lifecycle control, then the complete product representation should follow the same principle. (If you have not read the first article, you can find it here: Why Governance Must Extend Beyond Product Data.) This […]

The Hidden Complexity of Using an External DAM with Your STEP Environment

Many organisations managing their product data in the STEP platform from Stibo Systems choose to manage their digital assets in a third-party Digital Asset Management (DAM) system. At first glance, this division appears logical. STEP governs master data. DAM governs digital assets. Integration connects the two. Each system performs its specialised function. However, architectural clarity […]

Why Data Governance Must Extend Beyond Product Data

Data Governance has always been central to successful Master Data Management (MDM) initiatives. Organisations invest in platforms such as STEP from Stibo Systems precisely because they need structured control over product data, supplier information, hierarchies, workflows, and validation logic. In mature STEP environments, data governance is not an afterthought. It is embedded into the data […]

From Print to AI: Why Structured Product Data Still Wins

The 90s: When Product Data Meant Print In the 1990s, product data had one main purpose: To look good on paper. Catalogues were the lifeblood of retail and wholesale, and every system - including the early predecessors of STEP - was built to output print pages. Data was often packed with media-specific tags, manual line […]
