Case Study: Outokumpu achieves streamlined, automated payroll and reduced costs with OpusCapita's payroll services

From Payroll Outsourcing To Process Development Partnership

Outokumpu, a global leader in stainless steel with more than 12,000 employees, needed to modernize and scale payroll for its Finnish operations to improve reporting, reduce errors and clarify responsibilities. In 2010 the company chose to outsource payroll accounting to OpusCapita, handing over a process that would handle roughly 50,000 pay statements per year and require faster reporting to supervisors and bookkeeping.

OpusCapita implemented the outsourced payroll solution in a four‑month project, integrating Outokumpu’s SAP data and taking responsibility for personnel and system resources. OpusCapita’s automation and joint process development with Outokumpu delivered on‑time payments from the first payroll, significantly reduced payroll administration headcount, substantially lower and more predictable process costs, and faster, more consistent reporting across the group.
