THE CHALLENGE

Fragmented information made operations harder to predict at scale

Koskisen has cared for Finnish forests for more than a century. As the company grew, coordinating work became more demanding: more contractors in the field, more sites to oversee, and a stronger focus on sustainability and safety.

Their previous forest management tool no longer supported the clarity and efficiency needed to plan work, guide teams, and maintain safe, responsible operations.

To meet the needs of modern forestry, Koskisen needed a single system where people, tasks, and field data could come together.

“We had a strong need to reform our forest management system, as the previous solution no longer met our needs in terms of sustainability and
efficiency.”

THE SOLUTION

A partnership that brought one coordinated workflow for forest work

In 2022, Koskisen turned to Pinja not just for new software, but for a partner who understands the realities of forestry. Together, they introduced a modern way to plan, guide, and monitor forest work. Pinja helped shape the workflows, supported the tight rollout, and ensured the system fit the daily needs of foresters, contractors, and office teams.

Even with a tight rollout schedule, both teams worked closely together, and the deployment went smoothly.

“Pinja’s forest management solution is a modern way for us to do our work, and users find it a particularly easy-to-use tool”, says Henni Vahto, Development Manager at Koskisen.

Occupational safety is an important issue for Koskisen, and a lot of effort is put into it. Pinja’s solution helps the client and their contractors to create safe working conditions on site.

“Pinja’s solution is a good way to ensure that information about the work sites is up-to-date, and working conditions are good, and the system informs about dangerous issues in advance, where possible”, Vahto confirms.

“With our actions, we want to ensure that Finland continues to have prosperous forests and forest industries. The forest management solution is one tool in this work and in achieving our related objectives.”

THE IMPACT

Predictability, safety, and better use of resources

Today, the tool supports all of Koskisen’s forestry services. Daily work is more predictable because everyone works with the same information. Updates move quickly, guidance is clearer, and both contractors and internal teams have a better overview of ongoing work. Safety has also improved, as teams can react earlier to site-specific conditions.

The system brought meaningful impact:

Faster information flow across all teams and contractors

More accurate work planning and guidance, with everything in one place

Safer working conditions, thanks to earlier awareness of site-specific risks

Smoother cooperation, with a shared, always-updated view of ongoing work
