Offshore Qualific welcomes IKM Group as a new member of Magnet JQS Plus, alongside Aker Solutions, Beerenberg, Aibel, NorSea and Subsea7. This further strengthens a growing community of key industry players committed to actively contributing to the development of more efficient, industry‑driven solutions for supplier management and collaboration.

Through industry‑led ownership of how supplier data is structured and shared, the initiative enables more efficient processes and reduces duplication related to audits and information gathering. The objective is a more transparent, efficient and coordinated value chain—creating value for both buyer and supplier markets.

Several leading companies in the energy industry have already chosen to take an active role in this development. When the industry comes together around its own solutions, both collaboration capability and overall value creation across the value chain are strengthened.
