Sympa Oy chooses PlanMill ERP SaaS to boost its HR software business


Nov. 8, 2010 - PRLog -- Sympa Oy chooses PlanMill ERP SaaS (Enterprise Resource Planning) to boost its rapidly growing HR software business  serving topnotch customers. This web-based solution is a comprehensive answer to portfolio and project management, work schedules, tasks & assignments, actions, service requests, expense, as well as time and absence tracking that includes vacation planning.

As part of the solution package, real-time indicators, finance and billing information, as well as sales invoice and accounting using PlanMill Finance Connector for Econet can be used.

According to Sympa CEO Taina Sipilä, selecting PlanMill’s ERP solutions was an easy choice – they need a reliable and trusted business solution to meet demanding requirements in customer relationships, project and time management systems in no time. "This multilingual system is very good for our expanding reach not just in Finland but also globally."

As one of Deloitte Technology’s Fast Rising Star in 2009 and a Microsoft Certified Gold Partner, Sympa is steadily growing its operations since 2005 with more than 100 % revenue growth yearly. In the highly competitive service business, PlanMill ERP is up and running quickly to support Sympa's day-to-day activities.

"Prior to PlanMill we used to plan and report our business in Excel and non-integrated applications, which was time consuming and laborious. After only a few months of using the system, we can see at the touch of a button exactly how our business is performing. PlanMill allows us to concentrate on our clients which is better for them and us," says Sipilä.

Supporting customers' continuous growth

"We look forward to support Sympa’s business goals as one of the 'best of the best' in the service industry,”  says PlanMill CEO Thomas Hood. “Sympa answers the needs of big name clients from diverse sectors and partners with high tech software solution provider – we aim to support their success every step of the way!"


Sympa personnel uses PlanMill ERP to manage accounts, contacts, absences, expenses, time, requests, contacts, opportunities, actions, and change requests. With different groups using the system, having customer and project information up-to-date and available in real-time means less administrative work, enhances project management efficiency, and brings financial and environmental savings.

PlanMill ERP is a powerful, standardized software system that can be easily adapted to support the company’s dynamic business processes, Hood summarizes -- “a smart choice for growth!"
