Norwegian Offshore Rental strengthening quality with RamBase QMS

Since its founding in 2005, Norwegian Offshore Rental (NOR) has been dedicated to supporting the offshore, subsea, and renewable industries. Initially focused on ship management and personnel supply for the shipbuilding industry, the company shifted its focus in 2011 to specialize in equipment rental. Today, NOR is a key provider of rental equipment in the North Sea region and other major oil and gas markets. In line with its mission to prioritize safety, quality, and sustainability, NOR has integrated the RamBase Quality Management System into its operations.

Norwegian Offshore Rental envisions a world where the offshore, sub-sea, and renewable sectors share a common pool of cutting-edge equipment to create a more efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable future. This vision aligns perfectly with NOR’s operational focus—investing in top-tier equipment, providing excellent customer service, and building long-lasting customer relationships.

By implementing RamBase Quality Management System (QMS), NOR is taking a proactive step to ensure they continue meeting their customers' stringent safety and quality requirements. Tore Gautesen, CEO at Norwegian Offshore Rental, shares his perspective on the implementation:

"As a company dedicated to providing top-tier rental solutions, we are committed to delivering the safest, most reliable, and highest-quality rental solutions to our customers. We are excited to implement RamBase QMS, a system that will enable us to elevate the quality of our processes, enhance our HSE performance, and facilitate for continuous improvement"

Why RamBase QMS?

NOR’s operations require meticulous oversight of equipment, personnel, and processes to ensure safety and compliance in a demanding industry. With a growing rental pool of specialized equipment—ranging from lifting gear and ROV tools to buoyancy aids and subsea video inspection tools—the company needed a quality management solution that would simplify documentation, standardize procedures, and ensure compliance with industry regulations.

Ingunn Nordbø, HSEQ Manager at Norwegian Offshore Rental, highlights the reasoning behind their choice:

"We required a system capable of supporting the development of an effective management framework, with HSEQ seamlessly integrated across all elements of our business. After assessing several systems based on predefined criteria, we determined that RamBase QMS was the most suitable option. We are confident that the system is user-friendly, adaptable, and scalable, and it encompasses all the essential functionalities needed to help us achieve our ambitious organizational goals."

Øivind Aasland Håkonsen, Sales Manager at RamBase, also emphasizes the perfect match between the two companies

"NOR is a perfect fit for RamBase QMS. They are a company with a substantial focus on safeguarding their employees and ensuring the quality of their operations. Their equipment and customer demands require a robust system to manage safety and quality, and we’re thrilled to support them in achieving these goals"

A Partnership for growth and quality

We are proud to welcome Norwegian Offshore Rental as a new RamBase customer. Their dedication to safety, quality, and sustainability is well supported by what RamBase delivers: tools for streamlining processes, enhance compliance, and building a culture for continuous improvements.

Have you forgotten why you have stock?

Inventory is often seen as a cost center, a necessary evil, or a buffer against uncertainty. But at its core, inventory serves one essential purpose: To ensure that the next machine, the next process, or the customer is not left waiting. That’s it. That’s the primary reason to carry stock. Everything else—financial reporting, warehouse optimization, stock rotation—comes second to this truth. The challenge is that many companies forget this purpose. Inventory is often managed reactively, driven by vague logic, habit, or the fear of running out. Rarely is it approached as a strategic enabler of customer service. When inventory fails its purpose Visit any factory or warehouse, and you’ll likely find the same symptoms: Full shelves, but missing critical components. Capital tied up in excess stock that no one seems to need. Expedited shipping costs piling up to cover for poor availability. Obsolete or misplaced parts that are out of sync with actual demand. These are signs of low-quality inventory—and it’s not just about how much stock you have. It’s about having the right stock, in the right place, for the right reason. What is inventory quality? Inventory quality is the often-overlooked measure of how well your stock supports your operations and your customers. High-quality inventory: Is driven by actual demand and replenishment signals. Falls within an ideal range—between safety stock and maximum stock. Is positioned correctly in your network to support manufacturing and delivery. Is visible, traceable, and aligned with upstream and downstream processes. Low-quality inventory, on the other hand: Is misaligned with demand or outdated. Ties up capital but provides little operational value. Results in stockouts for critical items and overstock for slow movers. Accumulates in the wrong location or goes unnoticed until it becomes a problem. The strategic role of inventory in different market conditions Inventory management is not static—it plays different roles depending on market conditions. In growth markets, inventory is a service enabler. It supports quick delivery and helps you win new business. In downturns, inventory becomes a cash lever. Reducing unnecessary stock can free up working capital for other investments or cushion against revenue fluctuations. In both scenarios, the quality of inventory becomes a competitive advantage. The key is not just reacting to excess or shortages, but managing stock intentionally and systematically. Moving from guesswork to smart inventory management Unfortunately, many inventory decisions are still based on gut feeling or outdated spreadsheets. What’s needed is a more structured approach—leveraging modern ERP tools to make inventory work for you, not against you. Here are a few questions we often ask customers in their first inventory assessment: What is the stock position of the items supporting manufacturing and delivery? Are reorder points calculated based on variability in demand and lead times? Is the replenishment logic aligned with your production plan and S&OP process? Which items are critical to bottleneck operations? Are items located where they’re actually needed? These questions help uncover the real story behind your stock—and often, it’s eye-opening. How RamBase helps With RamBase Cloud ERP, we help manufacturers get control over their inventory by combining: Real-time visibility into stock status, movements, and locations. Automated replenishment logic based on historical trends and lead times. Alerts and analytics to identify overstock, obsolete stock, and critical shortages. Integrated processes from sales and production planning to procurement and logistics. Whether you’re looking to improve delivery reliability or free up capital, we believe inventory should be a lever for performance—not a liability. If you suspect your shelves are full but your customers are still waiting, it’s time to focus on inventory quality. Let’s start the conversation.
