Espoo, Finland - 25.03.2026 - When Ponsse, a global leader in forest machinery, set out to modernize its financial operations, the company faced a pivotal moment: a major ERP transition. For Ahti Väätäinen, Senior Manager of Group Financial Services, this was more than a technical upgrade, it was an opportunity to rethink how Ponsse manages cash and payments across its international footprint.
The starting point: A trusted partnership
Ponsse’s relationship with Nomentia was already well-established. For years, the company had relied on Nomentia’s payment solution for its Finnish operations. This local focus provided a solid foundation, but as Ponsse’s ambitions grew, so did the need for a more expansive approach.
“We have been Nomentia customers for years and have used the paid payments solution,” said Ahti Väätäinen, Senior Manager of Group Financial Services, Ponsse
The catalyst: ERP change and global ambitions
The decision to seek a new treasury system was driven by Ponsse’s ERP transition. This change opened the door to expanding payments management beyond Finland, aiming for a truly global daily cash operation. The goal: seamless, country-agnostic cash management and enhanced transparency into financial processes.
“We’re changing ERP and want to expand payments globally and add treasury.” - Ahti Väätäinen
The vision: Transparency and control
Ponsse’s target state was clear. The company wanted near real-time visibility into its cash positions, robust cash forecasting, and the ability to manage all portfolio countries from a single, integrated solution. This shift from local to global operations would enable standardized processes and improved governance.
“We wanted transparent, up-to-date visibility into where our cash is and how forecasting performs, globally, not just locally.” - Ahti Väätäinen
Why Nomentia?
Several factors led Ponsse to choose Nomentia for its expanded treasury needs:
- Breadth and capability: Nomentia’s solution offered comprehensive coverage, payments, treasury, and matching. Its ability to handle all Ponsse’s countries smoothly was a decisive advantage.
- Global readiness: The solution was authentically global, supporting Ponsse’s vision for centralized, country-agnostic operations.
- Familiarity and satisfaction: Having already used Nomentia’s payments tool, Ponsse was confident in the vendor’s reliability and support.
“The decisive factor was the product itself, its breadth and capabilities. It’s truly global and can handle all our portfolio countries smoothly.” - Ahti Väätäinen, Ponsse
