Finnish-origin Wannado offers a wide range of operational work services to businesses, including marketing, remote and present assistants, booking, and 24/7 customer service. Companies can outsource their entire marketing to Wannado. Over the past ten years, Wannado has grown from a small assistant service with a few employees to an international company employing dozens, operating in both assistant and expert roles across various fields.

Aamu’s Team Created a Clearer Business Model

The collaboration between Wannado and Aamu began in 2022 when Aamu had already been using Wannado’s assistant and booking services for some time. Wannado needed support in reviewing its numbers, for which Aamu’s team had a solution. The primary goal of the collaboration was to support decision-making with facts – Wannado already had plans for international expansion and needed to develop its products and services. Clearer numbers would indicate the best direction to take.
At the start of the collaboration, areas for development became apparent. First, tracking Wannado’s cost structure had become difficult due to the growth and diversity of its various business units. Secondly, loss-making operations were identified within two business units.

On Aamu’s suggestion, Wannado’s business model was simplified: each business area started calculating its own margin. Additionally, pricing for loss-making services was corrected, and the company adopted minimum pricing. Aamu built models for these in the Clarity system, where Wannado can also track the development of its sales.

More Predictability for the Future

“Aamu Partners’ consultants are pure gold. The monthly meeting with the data gathered in and skilled consultants is now one of the most important management tools for us. It helps focus operational work in the right direction and keeps us constantly informed. It’s great to get external perspectives on our development, especially when they are based on factual information,” summarizes Wannado’s growth director Irina Viitala on the benefits of the Aamu collaboration. Wannado plans to continue leveraging Aamu’s coaching to further enhance the predictability of its operations.
