Lager & Industrisystemer

What Lager & Industrisystemer does

Lager & Industrisystemer AS (LIS) is a privately held Norwegian warehouse solutions provider founded in 1994 and headquartered in Vinterbro, south of Oslo. The company operates as a total supplier of warehouse storage systems, material handling automation, and warehouse management software, sourcing hardware from European manufacturers including SSI Schäfer, stow, GEBHARDT, and Movu while developing its own proprietary Shark WMS for inventory control and equipment orchestration. Its product portfolio spans static and mobile pallet racking, narrow-aisle racking, mezzanines, cantilever and tire racking, gravity flow racks, conveyor systems, AGVs, shuttle systems (Atlas 2D for pallets, Cuby for small goods), automated crane storage, LogiMat vertical lift storage, Miniload AS/RS, and the e.scala and Pickr robotic systems.

LIS sells directly to Norwegian enterprises and SMBs through a sales-led, consultative motion that includes on-site surveys, 3D warehouse planning, and the eSKALER phased automation program that lets customers scale from WMS-only deployments into full hardware automation over time. Revenue is generated through hardware resale of sourced equipment, fixed-price Shark WMS software licenses plus quarterly cloud subscriptions, per-station/per-user WMS fees, professional services for implementation (kr 300,000-400,000 typical project; kr 16,800/day consulting), rack inspection services under the NS-EN 15635 European standard, and equipment leasing arranged through Brage Finans. Notable customers include Bring, Europris, Bilia, Heidenreich, Princess Gruppen, Glacio, Viking Life-Saving Equipment, Kongsberg Aerostructures/Discovery, Forsvaret (Norwegian Armed Forces), and Kolonial.no (now Oda).

The company is privately held, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified, Achilles pre-qualified, and RENAS-registered, with no external investors, parent company, or disclosed funding rounds. It acquired Logiware to broaden access to its Shark WMS and currently operates with 11-50 employees from its Vinterbro headquarters with a nationwide network of local installers.
