Helsinki Mills and Evitec Solutions – Data Management Pioneers in Collaboration
Evitec Solutions has implemented a modern data management solution for Helsinki Mills, with the latest expansion being a rolling sales forecast application. The system-independent solution enhances daily operations and creates a solid foundation for future development.
User-friendly Solution Supports Business Development
The collaboration between Helsinki Mills and Evitec Solutions began with the development of a comprehensive data management solution. This created a strong foundation for later development, such as the new sales forecast management application.
Jukka Kervinen, Deputy CEO and CFO of Helsinki Mills, says:
— We wanted to develop a system-independent data management solution that would serve us in the future as well. It was essential to ensure that our historical data remains comparable and that different functions – sales, production, and purchasing – get functional tools for daily use.
Efficiency and Accuracy in Sales Forecasts
Previously, managing sales forecasts required extensive manual Excel work. The new solution streamlines the process, reduces errors, and frees up experts’ time for business development.
— Our sales team uses the reports daily in their customer work. Sales team can now easily and quickly retrieve the data they need for customer meetings. Real-time updates enable immediate analysis of the impact of changes, says Kervinen.
Teemu Vainio, head of Evitec Solutions’ data and analytics emphasizes:
— We focused on building a cost-effective solution that precisely meets the customer’s needs. We implemented a browser-based application using modern technologies such as Microsoft Blazor and .NET. The use of these latest technologies demonstrates our innovativeness and ability to provide advanced solutions to our customers. The technology we use enables flexible development and maintenance based on customer needs.
Reliable Partnership and Productive Collaboration
Behind the project’s success has been close and professional cooperation. Regular project meetings have effectively advanced the project’s progress and revealed new development opportunities.
Kervinen particularly appreciates Evitec Solutions’ ability to understand the project as a whole and keep their promises:
— One of the most significant strengths has been Evitec’s ability to realistically envision the project’s scope from the early stages and keep their promises. The implementers have professionally moved the project forward. The project team can constructively challenge us and bring new perspectives to development. This has generated genuine sparring and discussion, which has driven the project forward.
Further system development is easy and flexible thanks to the built foundation solution. The successful implementation and professional project management have created a strong foundation for long-term partnership.
