Crasman Oy is a Finnish digital commerce and growth consultancy company founded on January 10, 1996.[1] Headquartered in Helsinki, the company specializes in B2B and B2C e-commerce solutions, product information management (PIM), and digital strategy.
History and key milestones
Crasman was registered on January 10, 1996,[1] during the early development of the commercial internet sector in Finland. The company's early operations focused on technical implementation, including the development of web services and electronic catalogs.
In 1998, the company released its first proprietary content management system, Crasmanager CMS. In 2004, the platform was utilized in international projects, including web service delivery for Electroline in Hong Kong.[2] The system evolved through multiple iterations, focusing on multi-language enterprise content distribution management.[3]
In 2003, during the rapid adoption of early camera phones and mobile networks in Finland, Crasman launched Muistikuva.net, a mobile-integrated digital diary service that allowed users to upload photos via MMS or email from smartphones. The service was featured as an interactive installation during the Night of the Arts (Taiteiden yö) festival in Helsinki in 2005 and 2006, where user-contributed photos were projected onto a screen at Lasipalatsi.[4]
In 2009, Crasman became the first content management system provider in Finland to receive a formal security certification for its platform. The certification for the Crasmanager 5.2 system was granted by the cybersecurity consultancy firm Nixu Oy following an extensive technical and operational process audit.[5]
The company expanded its operations through regional acquisitions and openings in the 2010s:
- In 2010, Crasman acquired Aisti Medialab and integrated its Bildy web-publishing tool into its service portfolio.[6]
- In 2017, the company expanded to Tampere and Oulu by acquiring the business operations of Suunnittelutoimisto Topic Oy.[7]
- In 2018, an office was established at the Joensuu Science Park (Joensuun Tiedepuisto) to serve Eastern Finland.[8]
Pasi Kervinen served as the company's CEO from 2000 to 2012 and again from 2015 to 2021. Hans Valldén held the position from 2013 to 2015. In 2022, Samuli Hokkanen was appointed CEO.[9] By 2024, the company reported a turnover of €8.6 million with a staff of approximately 85 employees.
