From a pioneering Finnish digital community to a connected business platform. Discover the story behind WiseNetwork and the ideas that shaped WisePlatform.
Hannu Myöhänen and Pentti Teponoja establish Suorakanava Oy, the company behind Rakentaja.fi, laying the foundations for a Finnish digital success story.
Rakentaja.fi grows into a market-leading construction and renovation community with 400,000 users. Its internally developed CRM-based system brings communications, sales and digital services together.
Rakentaja.fi receives the prestigious INNOSUOMI Award, recognising the success and innovation behind the service.
Following the acquisition of Rakentaja.fi by a major media company, the team takes its experience further. WiseNetwork is established around the vision of WisePlatform: one integrated system for CRM, sales, communications and finance.
WiseNetwork achieves average annual growth of over 35% in Finland. The platform serves gyms, fitness centres, golf clubs, sports clubs and event organisers.
Intera Partners invests in WiseNetwork through Intera Fund IV. The partnership supports international expansion and continued innovation across the sports, fitness and club sectors.
With over 70 employees, WiseNetwork continues to develop WisePlatform in close collaboration with its customers. Our ambition remains the same: to make everyday operations simpler, more efficient and more connected, while continuously improving the technology our customers rely on.
There is a story behind the name WiseNetwork. From the beginning, the idea was to build more than a software company. We wanted customers to play an active role in developing WisePlatform.
By bringing customers, industry experts and our team together, we create a community where knowledge and experience are shared. Improvements developed for one industry can also benefit customers in others.
That is what WiseNetwork stands for: a network of people working together to build better technology. And every business has the opportunity to be part of the story.
