SRC strengthens standardization & error reduction in the construction sector thanks to DICO certification

We are proud to share that SRC has been re-certified for DICO! With our DICO certification, you can be assured that your data is of the highest quality, and the exchange of information is always reliable and error-free. At SRC, we have over 30 years of experience with data standards and believe that supporting these standards is of utmost importance.

What is DICO?

DICO is a set of agreements supported by ERP software packages in the construction and technology sectors, allowing you to exchange electronic messages with your customers and suppliers.

Over 4,000 manufacturers, wholesalers, construction, maintenance and installation companies, and housing corporations are already participants in Ketenstandaard and use the DICO standard to exchange orders, delivery notes, invoices, product information, item data, schedules, and maintenance orders via the ERP packages of one of the over 150 affiliated software suppliers.

What does a DICO certification do?

In the world of digital construction processes, a small mistake can lead to inefficiency and unnecessary costs. To improve the quality of digital information exchange between companies in the construction and technology sectors, Ketenstandaard developed a certificate for DICO messages.

Our Promise with DICO Certification:

  • Excellent Performance: We guarantee error-free data exchange.
  • Security and Reliability: Our software meets the highest standards in the sector, providing you and your customers peace of mind.

The certification aims to reduce the number of erroneous messages when using the DICO standard. The certificate confirms that the DICO standard is adhered to according to the requirements set by Ketenstandaard, ensuring your data is always validated and guaranteed correct—what we call “first time right.” Choosing DICO-certified software is a crucial step towards reliable data exchange and emphasizes your reputation as a trustworthy customer or supplier.
