More than 20+ years of passion and Finnish innovations to serve service business 


Our story started in late 1980's when certain project management related product innovations took place in Nokia. Since then, different technical advancements have made their impact on what we can today proudly call the unique approach by PlanMill. PlanMill became a fully independent operation in 2001. We cannot take the credit alone the winner approach, which also belongs to our clients who have supported and believed in us all along.
