Porvoon Kirjakeskus
As a provider of logistics services to Finland’s leading book publishers, Porvoon Kirjakeskus needs an ERP system with detailed control down to the letter level. Earlier this year, Bonnier acquired Porvoon Kirjakeskus, which has now switched to Jeeves to improve logistics management and collaborate more efficiently with its customers.
Porvoon Kirjakeskus – a challenge
“Because of the inherent complexity and structures in our business when Porvoon Kirjakeskus’ logistics, order and purchasing processes are integrated with the publishers, we need an ERP system that is easy to integrate, allows further development and can be implemented quickly. The Bonnier publishers also have good experiences with both Jeeves and their partner Systemstöd, which is responsible for implementation,” says Anne Kariniemi, COO of Porvoon Kirjakeskus.
