Company
An EU-based product company, founded in Finland and built for trust.
Koivu Solutions combines decades of enterprise software experience with the speed and closeness of a focused product team. From our base in Finland, we build services that people can adopt quickly and organizations across Europe can trust for years.
Our story
From complex enterprise processes to essential workforce services.
Koivu Solutions was founded in Finland in 2017 by enterprise software builders with more than 25 years of experience developing and implementing systems for international companies. Today, Koivu operates as an EU SaaS company with its product and operational roots in Finland.
The company first built Koivu Cloud to turn spreadsheet-driven and data-intensive processes into governed enterprise applications. Koivu later created Sotender to modernise the way organizations connect flexible workers with open shifts.
Today Sotender is Koivu’s flagship growth product. Koivu Cloud powers Sotender and many enterprise applications. Both reflect the same belief: software should be easy to adopt, grounded in real work and operated responsibly for the long term.
Our operating principles
Pragmatic technology. Visible responsibility.
Customer outcome first
We begin with the operating result that needs to improve, not with a predetermined technology or feature list.
Adoption is part of quality
A technically complete system has not succeeded if workers and managers cannot use it naturally in daily work.
Security belongs in product work
Information security, privacy, continuity and maintainability are product responsibilities, not late-stage paperwork.
Long relationships create better products
Close customer collaboration and recurring operational feedback create better decisions than one-off delivery projects.
Part of PubliX Group
Independent product ownership with stronger Nordic resources.
PubliX Group acquired Koivu Solutions in December 2025. Koivu continues to operate as an independent company, and customers continue to be served by the same team. Current Koivu owners remain in operational roles and reinvested in PubliX, creating long-term alignment.
The group brings together specialist SaaS companies serving public administration, welfare and healthcare. Shared capabilities in finance, compliance, cybersecurity, AI and international growth give Koivu more capacity while preserving its entrepreneurial autonomy.
- Koivu brand and operating team remain.
- Product and customer responsibility remain close to Koivu.
- PubliX adds group-level expertise and market reach.
Our mission
Make complex, essential work simpler without weakening control.
That principle connects our healthcare workforce product, our enterprise platform and the way we run the company.
