Used by a firm to describe themselves: "Totalleverandør av komplekse varmepumpesystemer"
Is it a 'total supplier'? Sounds rather rubbish. I did wonder about whether they were a 'turnkey supplier' - but they may not have intended it to be quite so specific? Suggestions appreciated

full service supplier
I would say it was a "FSS," i.e. "full service supplier."
A Full Service Supplier is considered an expert for the product and is responsible for all aspects (supply, installation, service) except for that specifically excluded under the program or contract.

A "Full Service Vendor" FSV is another possibility, but this appears very rarely.

It also implies that such supplier takes full responsibility for the delivery.

full system supplier
Turnkey is not the correct term. Turnkey means it is ready to use right out of the box for the intended application.
In the context given, I assume they mean they can provide a full system, but it doesn't indicate if they install the system and set it up for use.
