What Weasel Software does

Weasel Software Oy is a Finnish custom software development firm founded in 2017 and headquartered in Turku, with regional offices in Helsinki, Jyväskylä, Tampere, and Lappeenranta plus additional workspaces in Hämeenlinna, Forssa, and Pori. The company delivers digital services, UX/UI and service design, and cloud services to medium and large enterprises and public administration organizations in Finland and Scandinavia, with a particular concentration in maritime and port operations (e.g., SmartFerryPort for Port of Helsinki, Ports of Stockholm, and Mariehamn Port) and Finnish government agencies including Eläketurvakeskus, Valtioneuvoston kanslia, Traficom, Väylävirasto, and Keva.

Its technology stack centers on Java with Spring and Quarkus, React and Angular front-ends, microservices architecture, Docker-based DevOps with CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code using CloudFormation, Terraform, and CDK, deployed on AWS and Azure. Microsoft Partner and AWS Partner certifications underpin the cloud delivery capability, and a partnership with Awake.ai extends the offering into maritime AI.

Revenue is generated through quote-based, multi-year professional services engagements sold by direct enterprise field sales (CEO Juha Laurila, Sales Director Jouni Pohjola, and dedicated Ports Sales Director Mike Karjagin) and supported by a partner network of over 1,000 IT professionals and companies. The company is employee-owned, holds Kauppalehti 2022 Menestyjät, Kasvajat, and Vahvimmat recognitions, and operates without disclosed institutional investors, M&A, or external funding.
