A CONTINUOUS FOCUS ON IMPROVING QUALITY AND OPERATIONS DELIVERS STRONGER RESULTS AND GREATER COMPETITIVENESS

THE CLIENT:

Mester Grønn is Norway’s leading flower retail chain, and over several decades it has built a strong market position through a mix of deep expertise, efficient operations, and a clearly defined brand. With a nationwide store network, a high level of centralised purchasing, and a strong focus on quality, sustainability, and customer relevance, the chain has succeeded in balancing local presence with economies of scale in a highly competitive retail market.

THE ASSIGNMENT:

From ERA Group’s perspective, the engagement with Mester Grønn has had a clear objective: to deliver measurable cost savings without compromising quality, delivery reliability, or day-to-day operations. In spring 2025, ERA Group was brought in across a handful of selected cost categories, where the analyses quickly uncovered significant room for improvement. The work has been characterised by close collaboration, data-driven analysis, and strong market insight, and the project is still ongoing, with the goal of creating similar value across additional categories as well.

GUNNAR LINDBERG, ACCOUNT MANAGER, ERA GROUP

"When ERA Group reached out, the timing was ideal for reviewing a few selected categories. Their value proposition - where we only pay a share of the savings actually achieved - made the decision easier. We can already see that ERA Group has delivered strong results. We also haven’t chosen the very largest savings that we represented across all the projects. The collaboration has been professional and straightforward, and it feels like we’ve had a broad team behind us." [TERJE JENSEN, CFO, MESTER GRØNN]
