Kivisam­po chose Islet to deliv­er their new SAP Busi­ness ByDe­sign ERP-system

Kivisam­po Oy, inter­na­tion­al­ly oper­at­ing Finnish com­pa­ny man­u­fac­tures, imports and sup­plies equip­ment solu­tions and plants for the var­i­ous needs in aggre­gate, met­al and recy­cling sec­tors. The com­pa­ny has been on a strong growth path the recent years and has ambi­tious goals also for the future. How­ev­er, the busi­ness sys­tems pre­vi­ous­ly used by Kivisam­po lacked sup­port for the grow­ing busi­ness, which is why they set out to search a cen­tral­ized, mod­ern and scal­able ERP solu­tion. The SAP Busi­ness ByDe­sign solu­tion was select­ed as the core of their oper­a­tions and Islet Group as the part­ner for the project. 

Kivisam­po want­ed to find an ERP sys­tem that could be used to dig­i­tize their process­es exten­sive­ly and to pro­mote infor­ma­tion man­age­ment by improv­ing trans­paren­cy and the trans­fer of infor­ma­tion through the dif­fer­ent busi­ness process­es and units. It was espe­cial­ly impor­tant for Kivisam­po that the end-to-end process­es relat­ed to finance and logis­tics were in the same inte­grat­ed sys­tem. Simul­ta­ne­ous­ly, the mod­ern solu­tion includ­ed the pos­si­bil­i­ty to increase automa­tion and reduce man­u­al work, espe­cial­ly on the logis­tics side. In addi­tion, there was a desire to devel­op sales mon­i­tor­ing to be more trans­par­ent and thus more effi­cient and eas­i­er to manage.

“It enables a sim­pler sys­tem archi­tec­ture, one inte­grat­ed source of truth and smoother way of shar­ing data all in all. Islet was just the right size part­ner for us — they have sol­id expe­ri­ence in our indus­try and the col­lab­o­ra­tion has been open, up-to-date, and easy. Our entire team has a strong belief for what we are accom­plish­ing togeth­er.”, con­tin­ues Andrey Malk­ki, CEO of Kivisam­po Oy.

Kivisam­po deliv­ers equip­ments and solu­tions to e.g. aggre­gate, met­al and recy­cling industries.

As an inter­na­tion­al­ly oper­at­ing and grow­ing com­pa­ny, it is also espe­cial­ly impor­tant for Kivisam­po that their future ERP sys­tem is a sus­tain­able and a long-term solu­tion that scales smooth­ly with var­i­ous changes. As a cloud-based ERP sys­tem, SAP Busi­ness ByDe­sign is always up-to-date with­out any accu­mu­lat­ed tech­nol­o­gy debt thanks to quar­ter­ly updates and improve­ments. This means that it’s cus­tomers are con­stant­ly get­ting new inno­va­tions they can uti­lize and adopt in their cur­rent sys­tem. Thanks to this, Kivisam­po’s man­age­ment and staff can focus on grow­ing the com­pa­ny’s core business.

With the ERP project, Kivisam­po’s oper­a­tions will com­pre­hen­sive­ly mod­ern­ize and dig­i­tize the process­es of sales and cus­tomer rela­tion­ship man­age­ment, finan­cial man­age­ment, pro­cure­ment, pro­duc­tion and inven­to­ry management.
