Kuortti Companies

The transformation of the logistics industry continues at a strong pace, driven by factors such as changes in transportation power sources. Competition has always been a part of the logistics sector, and global competition has also intensified in recent years. The challenges brought by market changes are the same for both passenger and freight transport.Kuortti Group has been part of this evolution for years, growing continuously alongside the industry, says Jussi Kuortti, Chairman of the Board of Kuortti Companies.

Kuortti Companies is a family-owned business now in its third generation, consisting of Liuttu Logistiikka Oy, JK Taksi, and real estate rental operations. The company currently specializes in parcel delivery services within its transportation business.

As an expert in its field, Kuortti Companies values a strong partnership with a financial management provider that ensures smooth financial operations and supports their development with its expertise. This partnership allows the company to focus on growing its core business.

"The biggest advantage of this partnership is receiving services from a sufficiently large provider. It is also crucial that we are served by experts familiar with our business, as a successful partnership requires close collaboration," says Jussi Kuortti.

The collaboration with Gallant has been ongoing for over 10 years. When Kuortti Companies needed to unify their financial management software, they found support from a trusted partner.

"We have in-house financial expertise, but Gallant provides the specialized knowledge we need. Their expertise was invaluable during the software transition, from selection and procurement to implementation. Gallant gave us strong support throughout the process," Kuortti summarizes.

Kuortti Companies' accountant, who had previously used different software, has been satisfied with both the new system and the collaboration, which has worked significantly better than with the previous partner.

"During the partner selection process, our trust in Gallant grew - not only because of their expertise but also due to their genuine interest in and openness toward us," Kuortti acknowledges.

When a shared goal and direction are established, collaboration can thrive even during times of change: "We have received tremendous support for our financial management. The core of our partnership is recognizing both the successes and challenges on both sides. In these situations, we strive to do our best, and in that regard, Gallant has set an exemplary standard."

Previously, Kuortti had used various income statement formats for years, but with Gallant’s help, these have been streamlined: "For our financial operations, it is crucial that all company figures are accessible in one place. This makes our processes more efficient and faster."

The partnership between Kuortti Companies and Gallant will continue in the future: "Our key contacts play a crucial role in our collaboration, as direct relationships ensure smoother operations compared to relying solely on processes. This highlights the importance of communication with Gallant’s experts."

"Looking at the bigger picture, financial management has become more efficient, giving us the ability to grow. Controlled growth in logistics has kept us competitive, and financial data plays a key role in this by enabling better decision-making," Kuortti concludes.
