Case Novita
Novita transformed its business systems with NetSuite
Novita, a beloved Finnish family-owned company founded in 1928, is a household name among knitting enthusiasts. As the largest manufacturer of handcraft yarns in the Nordics, Novita produces around 10 million balls of yarn annually at its Koria factory.
A few years ago, Novita recognised that its legacy business system had reached the end of its lifecycle. To meet evolving needs and enable future growth, the company chose NetSuite as its new ERP system – delivered by Digia.
“The technology behind our old system was outdated and no longer able to respond to our rapidly changing needs. The leap from a client-based solution to a cloud-based system was a major shift for our operations,” says Petri Ala-Juoni, CFO of Novita and project owner.
The large-scale transformation project involved a complete overhaul of Novita’s business system, with the new solution going live in May 2022. The goal was to improve operational efficiency and increase transparency across departments. Today, NetSuite supports Novita’s finance, order-to-delivery chain, production control, and CRM – the latter used to manage key customer assortments and campaigns.
“The system now tells us in real time whether a particular product is available – and if it’s not, we get information on when it will be back in stock. Significant steps forward have also been taken in logistics thanks to NetSuite,” says Ala-Juoni, and continues: “Digia is a major player with the backbone and strength to lead a project of this scale.”
