The people behind quality

Laatupankki is not just software - it is a service built to support SMEs, where an expert works alongside you and digital tools make everyday work easier. We are entrepreneurs and experts who believe that good quality, sustainability and safety belong to everyone - clearly, practically and in support of business.

We combine experience, technology and practical understanding so that ISO systems do not create a burden, but instead strengthen your operations and competitiveness.

Laatupankki

Where did it all begin?

At Laatupankki, we noticed the same problem time and again: SMEs wanted to develop their operations and meet their customers' quality and sustainability requirements, but implementing ISO standards felt complex, burdensome and even impossible. Something clearer and more practical was needed.

Ilkka Sillanpää and Henrik Salmela decided to do something about it. Ilkka brought extensive experience in building management systems for different industries. Henrik, in turn, brought software development expertise to the team, along with a fresh perspective on how digitalising processes could genuinely make everyday work easier. They wanted to combine expert support and software into one clear solution tailored to SMEs.

Toni Järveläinen joined the team, having long helped companies develop their sales and customer relationships. Toni understood the important role ISO certifications play in a company's competitiveness - and how, when properly built, they can support sales and customer relationships.

Together, we created Laatupankki: a service where an expert works alongside you, software provides support, and systems are built around the realities of the customer's everyday operations. The first versions of Laatupankki were developed in close cooperation with pilot customers from several industries, including construction, service and manufacturing companies. This early collaboration ensured that the solution meets real needs and is suitable for a wide range of SMEs. Laatupankki is not an IT project, but a partner that helps develop your company's quality, sustainability and safety.

Making quality visible in everyday work

What does Laatupankki do?

“Sustainability is not a separate report or project - it should be visible in every decision and process. A good system supports work; it does not burden it.”

Ilkka Sillanpää

Chief executive officer, partner

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 digital tools, a people-centred approach and expertise into one seamless service.
