Our history
1982
Data Pro AS was founded by Per Egil Røshol and H.I. Giørtz in 1982 with 4 active customers in distribution - and only 1 employee.
2012
Data Pro's 30th anniversary. The company changed it's brand name to Driw AS and launched the new product DriwKraft. It was the step between the "green screen" and Trace - our current ERP platform. DriwKraft had a new front-end that used the same data as before, and handled basic data, order, transport and stock.
2016
Currence Robotics was established in 2016 by founder and current CEO Torbjørn Krogen and Olivier Roulet-Dubonnet, CTO. Together they developed the warehouse robots Sort and Grab.
2017
We started to change the company's business model from an hour-based consulting business, to a software house where we deliver the standard solution in a Software as a Service model (SaaS).
The first installation of Trace, with solutions that cover the entire value chain, was in place - and all current clients onboarded to the Trace WMS solution in the following years.
2020
Currence Robotics co-located with Driw in Gangstøvika, Ålesund.
2022
When Driw and Currence Robotics got co-located in 2020, we quickly found out that both companies were doing exciting things on each ends. But the goal was the same. Solving logistics challenges for the trade industry. The choice was simple. We combined our forces, to become stronger together - with our new brand name, Solwr.
