MSD Electrics: Easy use and implementation

MSD Electrics started using the Fifth Force service in autumn 2009.  The service was adopted via the Internet without the need for training sessions or investment in new terminals. The company was able to add attachments for invoicing right from the first month of use. Both workers in the field and managers have praised the usability of the service.

Shared software service for forest industry transportation companies

Fifth Element is to implement a shared software service for transport companies in the forest industry, which will enable planning and managing the raw wood material supply chain from the departure warehouse to the final destination.

“We want to be involved in taking the forest industry and transportation forward.  In our view, a shared software service is one condition for this,” says Jari Mutanen, purchasing director at Stora Enso.

The aim of the service is to support transport companies in achieving a high utility rate of equipment. This is achieved by having up-to-date information from the field and connections to customer organizations’ systems. Concentrating on delivery amount management and efficient stock cycle are benefits from the point of view of forest companies ordering transport services.

Metsäliitto Group and Stora Enso are commissioners of the service.

Pohjola: Faster customer service through a mobile solution

Pohjola Insurance Ltd has set the aim of making 80% of their claim settlement decisions within 48 hours. To this end Fifth Element produced a system called Tarmo, which enables speedier operation. As a result claims can now often be handled within 36 hours.   The system is used by both Pohjola’s own damage inspectors and partners working in the field.  Tarmo provides tools also for customer communication, which further improves customer satisfaction.

Maintenance of Helsingin Energia’s district heating network: We made savings and increased motivation

In 2010 the maintenance of energy company Helsingin Energia’s district heating network was revolutionised.  It used to be a case of network maintenance men setting off for their day’s work with a pile of papers under their arm, but thanks to Fifth Force they now have direct access from a mobile terminal device to a work task database.  Information about problems in the network and measures carried out to solve them are also registered directly from the field into the same system.  More efficient operation in the everyday work of district heating network maintenance at Helsingin Energia was quickly seen as a benefit of the new operating model.  Results are also evident in the increased work motivation of employees.
