Ketenstandaard: more efficient collaboration
At Bluace, we believe in the power of digitalization to improve business processes in the construction and engineering sectors. That is why we collaborate with Ketenstandaard, which focuses on developing and managing open data and communication standards. This collaboration allows companies to exchange digital data more easily, efficiently, and error-free.
About Ketenstandaard
Ketenstandaard Bouw en Techniek supports the construction, installation, and technical wholesale sector through efficient, error-free digital collaboration. By developing and managing open data and communication standards, such as DICO, STABU, NL-SfB, and ETIM, Ketenstandaard helps companies exchange information unambiguously. This contributes to a more efficient chain, lower failure costs, and better cooperation between all parties in the construction process.
DICO is the standard for digital communication in the construction and engineering sector. It ensures that companies can exchange data uniformly and structured, such as orders, invoices, status updates, and messages about deliveries. By using DICO, parties can work together more efficiently, and manual and error-prone processes are kept to a minimum.

The collaboration between Bluace and Ketenstandaard
At Bluace, we help organizations in the construction and engineering sector optimize their business processes with innovative ERP and field service solutions. An essential part of this digitalization is supporting the DICO standard in our software.
Thanks to our collaboration with Ketenstandaard, we offer solutions that align with the DICO standard. Companies can exchange information securely and standardizedly with suppliers, wholesalers, installers, and other chain partners. The result? Smooth cooperation and strong support for companies in their digitization process.
In addition, we have developed the DICO Integration app, which is available via Microsoft AppSource. This app integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, making it easy to work with the DICO standard within existing business processes.
“The collaboration with Bluace increases the adoption of the use of the DICO standard, and together, we ensure that the construction and engineering sector takes steps in the field of automation and digitization.”
Rob Noordberger, Relationship Manager at Ketenstandaard
