Uponor

Challenge

Uponor has dozens of subsidiaries. Therefore it is essential for them to stay on top of what is going on, their financial situation and any changes taking place. To do so, Uponor relies heavily on systems helping to monitor and control operations.

Solution

Transparency is vital for Uponor. With Nomentia Cash Visibility, both headquarters and subsidiaries can see what guarantees have been issued. With the help of Nomentia Risk Management, currency risks can be managed without interfering the workflow of the subsidiaries' employees. As a result, the subsidiaries now have more time to devote to their business.

The best system for Uponor

Wistrand praises how easy it is to deploy the modules. They are easy to adapt even for new employees that have previously been using different systems.

"We have the principle that we strive to implement systems we feel are best for us. Then we integrate them, which in this case went very well. The systems handle the biggest chunk of work that has previously been done by individuals. Now there is no more need for anyone to enter data  manually."
