Finnish manufacturing companies are known for their technical excellence, high-quality production, and responsible operations. Many produce locally and export globally – often through supply chains spanning Europe, Asia and the Americas. Growth is a goal for industrial businesses, but the journey inevitably includes obstacles. Surprisingly often, the biggest barrier lies at the very heart of operations: an outdated ERP system.
When existing systems no longer support growing volumes or international ambitions, they quickly become a brake on progress. So how do you spot these pain points – and turn them into growth enablers?
Competition in manufacturing is fierce, and every gain in efficiency counts. Traditional ERP systems often store data in silos, leading to unnecessary manual work and errors. Employees spend hours transferring data between systems due to this “single-entry” burden.
Modern technologies like AI can automate routine tasks, but without a unified platform, the benefits remain limited. This is where a solution like NetSuite steps in. It enables centralised data management, giving teams real-time access to sales, production and inventory data.
Inventory turnover directly affects cash flow. Slow-moving stock ties up capital that could be used elsewhere – for investments or exploring new business opportunities. With NetSuite, you can optimise inventory based on real-time data.
By shortening production lead times and improving throughput, you unlock significant financial benefits. Novita, the largest Nordic manufacturer of hand-knitting yarns, improved supply chain transparency and operational efficiency with NetSuite.
Many legacy ERP systems require expensive, time-consuming updates and maintenance – often tailored to needs that have long since changed. This makes them rigid and costly to maintain.
A cloud-based solution like NetSuite is scalable and more cost-effective to implement and maintain. It grows with your business – whether you're expanding sales, entering new markets or adding production lines.
Tana is a great example of a company that improved production flow and inventory turnover with NetSuite, achieving significant savings in the process. Read more about how Tana modernised its operations here.
