Laatupankki

How Did It All Begin?

At Laatupankki, we noticed the same issue time and again: SMEs wanted to improve their operations and meet their customers’ quality and responsibility requirements, but implementing ISO standards felt complicated, heavy, and sometimes impossible. Something clearer and more practical was needed.

Ilkka Sillanpää and Henrik Salmela decided to take action. Ilkka had extensive experience building management systems across various sectors. Henrik brought software development expertise and a fresh perspective on how process digitization could genuinely ease daily work. They aimed to merge expert work and software into a single clear solution tailored for SMEs.

Toni Järveläinen joined the team, bringing years of experience helping companies develop sales and customer relations. Toni understood the crucial role ISO certifications play in a company’s competitiveness – and how, when well-structured, they can support sales and customer relationships.

Together, we created Laatupankki: a service where an expert supports you, the software assists, and systems are built around the customer’s everyday reality. Early versions of Laatupankki were developed in close collaboration with pilot customers across various industries – including construction, service, and manufacturing companies. This early partnership ensured the solution met real needs and suited a wide range of SMEs. Laatupankki is not an IT project, but a partner helping develop your company’s quality, responsibility, and safety.

Making Quality Visible in Everyday Life

What Does Laatupankki Do?

Responsibility is not a separate report or project – it must be visible in every decision and process. A good system supports doing, not burdens it.

  • Custom Software Designed specifically for SME needs – easy to use, clear, and adaptable.
  • Experienced Expert Who supports you throughout and ensures the system meets standards and your business reality.
