The Challenge

In 2017, Unimicro launched its cutting edge cloud-based finance system, Uni Economy, which was intended to be as simple and user friendly for customers as possible. Despite its slick design and smart features, banking operations remained manual and laborious for its users.

The company needed a third party who were capable of integrating Uni Economy with banks across Norway. Aritma has been a vital cog in the machine as part of this work, according to Kjartan Solvi, CEO of Uni Micro.

– We wanted a partner that could serve as the connection between our accounting system and the banks. We quickly got talking with Aritma who were pioneers in the field and had other customers with similar needs."

Unimicro places the customer at the core of their operations, prioritizing the usability of their systems. They aim for intuitiveness and desire in their software, holding high standards for user-friendliness. This expectation extends to their partners, ensuring a smooth experience for users with every solution provided.

The Solution

When Unimicro partnered up with Aritma they were finally able to focus on doing what they do best – developing great accounting solutions. Solvi explains why:

– We strongly believe in the importance of producing top-quality accounts and automating processes as much as possible. This goal emphasizes the need for us to have partners on board who are good at what they do. When it comes to managing communications with the banks, Aritma is the best of the best, and ensures that we are able to work together to deliver great solutions to our end users.

Uni Economy became an overnight success and underwent rapid growth following its launch. It was the fourth financial system that Unimicro had developed, and it was now cloud-based. When Uni Economy launched, there were already other cloud-based financial systems coming to market, according to Solvi.

– We realised that if we were going to compete, we needed not only an online system, but an online system that was built to cope with the challenges of the future,  Solvi says.

With Aritma's solution all receipts, payments and account details could flow seamlessly between the banks and Uni Economy via the Open Finance Platform which is based on Aritma’s Banking APIs.

The platform allows Unimicro to support all banks through one single integration point, while creating a good, streamlined user experience for their customers.

"We realised that if we were going to compete, we needed not only an online system, but an online system that was built to cope with the challenges of the future"

The Impact

Unimicro and Aritma have been long term partners. Since 2007 we have built a strong partnership, were Aritma has provided Unimicro with essential bank reconciliation solutions, like Aritma Control.

– Being able to have a partner that you trust and have worked with for a long time, and that you know is an expert in their field, is really important in achieving success, says Solvi.

He highlights the mutual satisfaction and the seamless teamwork that has developed over more than 15 years, emphasizing Aritma's innovation and its crucial role in Unimicro's progress:

– Aritma has been a great partner to Unimicro. We’ve always worked closely together with various customers, complementing each other well. Aritma is also an innovative company that’s moving us forward thanks to their specialist expertise in an area that is vital to us.

Unimicro's choice of Aritma as a provider over others stemmed from a deep-seated trust and positive experiences dating back a decade.

– Picking Aritma back in 2016 was the natural choice given our positive experiences with them for the preceding decade. We knew they had a corporate culture we appreciated and a team that we liked working with, and that they had the necessary professional skills to deliver the services we needed.
