With an ambition to increase its European footprint, the family-owned Swedish company sought a partner who could launch the service quickly and efficiently, working together with Alektum's IT department.

Camilla Hennemann, CIO at Alektum says: 'We chose Tieto's ProFinance solution because it collects all of our financing services in one place, meaning we can serve 16 markets from one platform. The fact that it offers on-premises hosting with an open and available database is also important, since we have a centralised IT department to integrate enterprise resource planning applications (ERP) with internally developed applications.'

Factoring allows companies to sell invoices and receive an advanced payment, turning outstanding receivables into available funds. Tieto's platform manages the factoring process completely, helping businesses improve cash flow and increase their financial flexibility. The European factoring market is estimated at 1.5 trillion euros and continues to grow six percent annually*. It is one of the fastest growing services within the corporate finance market.

Pedram Tadayon, VP, Financial Services at Tieto says: 'Our end-to-end factoring platform will help Alektum automate its value chain across 16 countries, supporting its business and market expansion plans. This new and exciting partnership will complement the work we have done with Alektum over many years, through our Collection Suite Nova.'
