BLC Turva is a Finnish leader in security solutions, serving customers across 18 locations nationwide. Operating as a distributed organisation requires clear visibility into inventory, procurement and sales. That’s why BLC Turva has worked in close collaboration with Wisestein for over ten years.
The partnership has enabled efficient operations management that supports BLC Turva’s growth and ability to deliver on its customer promise.
A partnership sparked by a practical need
The collaboration began around ten years ago when BLC Turva sought a more advanced way to manage inventory alongside its existing ERP system. Wisestein SCM® software provided the solution, and since then it has become a core part of BLC Turva’s daily operations.
“Our product range is extensive. Wisestein SCM® lets us access essential information quickly, without having to search everything separately through the ERP,” says Satu Kontro, Procurement Director.
Over the years, the system has evolved from a standalone inventory tool into a central component of the entire procurement chain. Data flows automatically from the ERP to Wisestein SCM® overnight, enabling real-time reporting without manual work. This frees up resources, improves data quality and supports fast, data-driven decision-making.
“Today, the software plays a central role in purchase planning, inventory management and product profitability analysis,” Kontro notes.
Smarter purchasing decisions
One of the most tangible benefits of Wisestein’s solution is seen in daily purchasing work. For example, if a product normally costs €100 but a supplier offers it at €90 with a larger order quantity, the system automatically evaluates whether it makes financial sense to accept the offer.
Instead of simply comparing unit price, the software also factors in storage costs and other hidden expenses. Decisions are therefore based on overall profitability, not just price.
“This is especially valuable in an organisation with several buyers, each with varying product knowledge and experience. The system brings consistency to purchasing decisions, ensuring every choice benefits the business,” Kontro explains.
People behind the software make the difference
While the software is a powerful tool, Kontro highlights that collaboration with Wisestein’s experts has been equally important. Solutions aren’t limited to ready-made templates—instead, needs are addressed flexibly and quickly.
One example is a case where BLC Turva needed an entirely new type of report, which Wisestein delivered in just two days.
“We haven’t encountered a problem we couldn’t solve together. Even when there isn’t a ready solution, they build one quickly. Support is always available whenever it’s needed.”
“Having both this tool and the skilled people behind it is a clear competitive advantage for us.”
The partnership is now a natural part of BLC Turva’s everyday operations and continues to evolve alongside new needs. Jointly developed solutions support daily work as well as long-term business development.
