Kesko selects Tietoevry Industry to drive supply chain integration

A leading player in Finland’s grocery, building and technical, and car trade sectors, Kesko is undertaking the most significant IT services transformation in its history, as announced in August 2025. As part of this, the company has appointed new strategic IT partners to support its growth ambitions, accelerate business transformation, and enhance digital competitiveness. 

Tietoevry Industry, as one of Kesko’s smaller and more specialised partners, is selected to deliver BIX Supply Chain Messaging Services for business transactions with customers and suppliers.  

"Tietoevry’s BIX Services are purpose-built to support Kesko’s digital development goals, enabling secure, accessible, and sustainable information exchange with its stakeholders. As our valued customer for nearly two decades, we are proud to continue supporting Kesko on its digital journey," says Johan Enger Nygaard, Managing Director, Tietoevry Industry.  

Effective from 1 July 2025, the agreement spans all Kesko business divisions in Finland, as well as Onninen operations across the Nordics and Baltics, and will remain in force until the end of 2031. The industrial-grade BIX Services provide resilient, fully redundant provisioning and expert support – safeguarding Kesko’s business-critical operations with uncompromising reliability. 

“Ensuring continuity in supply chain management is critical to our operations. Building on our longstanding partnership with Tietoevry Industry’s Data Platforms and their proven track record, we’ve chosen BIX Services as the backbone of our supply chain infrastructure. This enables us to secure time-sensitive supplier orders and deliveries to stores, while providing data-driven support across all business divisions,” says Pekka Valkearanta, Vice President, Infrastructure & Operations, Kesko.
