Laatupankki is not just software – it is a service built to support SMEs, where an expert walks alongside and digital tools make everyday life easier. We are entrepreneurs and experts who believe that good quality, responsibility, and security belong to everyone – clearly, concretely, and supporting business.
We combine experience, technology, and practical understanding to ensure that ISO systems do not burden, but strengthen the company's operations.
Laatupankki
Where did it all begin?
At Laatupankki, we noticed the same problem repeatedly: SMEs wanted to improve their operations and meet their customers' quality and responsibility requirements, but implementing ISO standards seemed complicated, burdensome, and even impossible. Something clearer and more practical was needed.
Ilkka Sillanpää and Henrik Salmela decided to do something about it. Ilkka had a long experience in building management systems for various industries. Henrik, on the other hand, brought expertise in software development and a fresh perspective on how the digitalization of processes could actually make everyday life easier. They wanted to combine expert work and software into a single clear solution suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.
Toni Järveläinen joined, who had long been helping companies with sales and customer relationship development. Toni knew the important role ISO certifications play in a company's competitiveness – and how properly structured they can support sales and customer relationships.
Together we created Laatupankki: a service where an expert walks alongside, software supports, and systems are built according to the customer's daily needs. The first versions of Laatupankki were developed in close cooperation with pilot customers from various industries – including construction, service, and industrial companies. This early collaboration ensured that the solution meets real needs and is widely applicable to different SMEs. Laatupankki is not an IT project but a partner that helps develop a company's quality, responsibility, and security.
Make quality visible in everyday life
What does Laatupankki do?
“Responsibility is not a separate report or project – it should be reflected in every decision and process. A good system supports actions, it doesn’t burden them.”
Ilkka Sillanpää

Laatupankki helps SMEs build and maintain certifiable management systems in accordance with ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environment), and ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety). We combine digitalization, human-centeredness, and expertise into one seamless service.
Custom software, designed specifically for the needs of SMEs – easy to use, clear, and adaptable.
Experienced specialist, which stays with you and ensures that the system meets the requirements of standards and the everyday needs of the company.

Laatupankki doesn't get stuck in folders or forgotten Excel files – it evolves alongside the company. Laatupankki is a practical tool for every employee's daily life. With it, quality, environmental responsibility, and occupational safety become an integral part of everyday activities throughout the entire organization, not just management objectives.
