About us - Bridging Operational Realities and Advanced IT
Econ is a specialized technology partner for Food & Trade enterprises, transforming fragmented operations into unified, future-ready systems. We deliver fast ROI and long-term scalability through operational mastery, transparent collaboration, and practical AI solutions — without forcing you to replace what already works.
Specialized in Food & Trade
Our team doesn’t just talk IT—we’ve managed warehouses, driven trucks, and overseen procurement. That deep operational insight drives our technology solutions, ensuring we address real pain points. As certified GS1 Synkka GDSN and Food Data Finland partners, we handle localization complexities and regulatory demands that many providers overlook.
Fast, Measurable Results
We execute swiftly, often completing in days what others delay for months or years. Our transparent vantage and direct collaboration let us deliver about 90% of your requirements right from the start — so you see immediate benefits while we refine the final details. It’s how we regularly achieve 99.8% supply reliability and drastically cut manual tasks.
Our culture - Operational Expertise & Technical Excellence Combined
We believe technology should serve real-world operations, not complicate them. Our culture is defined by radical transparency, collaborative problem-solving, and practical innovation — ensuring we build trust and deliver tangible value in every engagement.
- Operational Mastery. We deeply understand Food & Trade — manufacturing, wholesale, import/export, logistics, and compliance. This insight guides every technical decision.
- Purposeful Innovation. We apply AI and automation where it truly fits, focusing on sustainable ROI instead of flashy, overhyped tech.
- Swift Execution. We work in days or weeks, not years. Rapid, agile iterations lead to immediate operational gains you can measure.
- Direct & Collaborative. No black-box solutions. We engage openly with your team, respect existing providers, and propose changes only when truly beneficial.
