Better Data Tools to Support Telinekataja's Business
Telinekataja is the leading Nordic specialist company focused on demanding scaffolding, weather protection and other temporary structure solutions. With its strong experience, it serves the broad needs of the construction industry, industry and infrastructure projects. In 2023, Telinekataja operated at over a thousand sites in Finland and Sweden, employed 227 professionals and had a revenue of EUR 66.6 million.
Vincit designed and implemented a modern, scalable data platform based on Microsoft Fabric, enabling Telinekataja to unify scattered systems, improve reporting accuracy, and move forward in its Microsoft ecosystem transition.
The challenge: a fragmented data environment built on multiple vendors’ systems
Telinekataja had a clear need to modernize its entire data environment to meet the demands of the 2020s. The previous data platform consisted of systems from different vendors, which formed a rather difficult-to-manage whole.
The goal was clear: build a solution that would enable more versatile use of data now and in the future. It needed to offer an easier way to manage and develop data services, serve a growing number of internal users efficiently, and empower in-house teams to handle small-scale development independently.
The transition from plan to production happened astonishingly fast: we were able to decommission the old system and cut costs within a few months. At the same time, we made our reporting more accurate and shared it more widely across the entire staff. Vincit’s quick response to changing needs and questions also deserves praise – they genuinely have time for the customer!

The solution: Building a Scalable Microsoft Fabric Data Platform
We responded to Telinekataja’s modernization challenge and strategic decision to move more firmly into the Microsoft ecosystem by designing a modern and scalable data platform based on Microsoft Fabric. The platform’s architecture design and implementation were carried out in close collaboration with Telinekataja’s own expert team. This close collaboration ensured that the end result fully meets the needs of their business, while also strengthening their own expertise.

"With the help of Vincit's top experts, I’ve been able to get to grips with new technology as part of the development team, with knowledge transfer happening alongside the development work. A lot of new things have come up in a short time, but I believe Telinekataja will have a considerably better capability than before to handle development work independently going forward. However, our goals are high, and that is why we see Vincit as an important partner in the future too, in a constantly evolving technology environment."

The benefits: a unified platform, trusted reports and BI in daily use across the organization
As a result of the project, Telinekataja gained a modern and unified Microsoft Fabric data platform that raised the company’s data capabilities to a new level. Data management solutions that were previously scattered or in need of updating were replaced with a centralized and consistent environment. The figures in reporting have been made more accurate and the user base has been expanded. A well-functioning platform has increased users’ trust in the reports, and BI tools are no longer used only by top management but are genuinely part of the organization’s daily operations. Telinekataja now has a robust platform that will not only serve them for years to come, but also enables a move toward advanced analytics and the opportunities offered by AI.
