Kennelpakaste Streamlined Receivables Management with Ropo

Kennelpakaste Oy, based in Ikaalinen, Finland, specializes in raw pet food and dried treats – and stands as one of Finland’s longest-established pet food manufacturers. Over the decades, the company has grown steadily, and with that growth came an increasing need for financial management solutions that are both effective and light to operate. In a lean organization, time is a finite resource and it’s best spent on core business, not manual accounts receivable work.

“Receivables management used to mean manual data entry – tedious, repetitive work that still had to be done every week,” says Hannu Perälä, CEO of Kennelpakaste Oy.

The right solution, close at hand

When the search for a better approach began, the key criteria were clear: easy implementation and compatibility with existing systems. Ropo’s automated reminder and collection service turned out to be an easy choice – it could be activated directly within Finago Procountor, without any complex integrations or separate new systems.

“The fact that Ropo works seamlessly with Finago Procountor, without complicated integrations or additional systems to manage, was a major advantage for us. We didn’t need to look any further,” Perälä notes.

Since implementation, Ropo has handled receivables management automatically in the background – no longer requiring any active time or attention.

“Reminders and collections just take care of themselves. When everything works, you simply don’t have to think about it. Before, this process took up a considerable amount of my time,” Perälä says.

And when the occasional question does arise, support has been quick to respond: “When I reach out, I get an answer. I don’t have to wait days for a resolution.”

A complete financial management setup under one roof

Finago Procountor, which Kennelpakaste has relied on for some time, also receives high praise.

“Finago Procountor is, in my view, the best financial management software I’ve used. It’s lightweight, functional, and exactly the right fit for a company our size. It’s also great that you can get comprehensive solutions all within the same system,” Perälä says.

The combination of Ropo and Finago Procountor has brought a welcome clarity to financial management – without any heavy system overhaul. Based on his own experience, Perälä is happy to recommend Ropo for receivables management.

“For sole traders and smaller businesses without a large finance team, this is an excellent solution.”
