UKTussa Kraft is the parent enterprise for a group of companies specialising in renewable energy, telecommunications, IT, and the sale of energy and communication products.
“The functionality we looked at in Xledger far exceeded what we saw in the other competitors…Now we automate processes such as invoice handling, timetables and travel plans.”
Tussa Kraft has grown into a market-leading utility with five entities, hundreds of employees, 19 hydroelectric power plants, and a wide range of energy, telecommunications, and IT products. Headquartered in Norway, Tussa Kraft was founded in 1949 and has been producing and supplying electricity ever since.
Tussa had an old-school on-premise ERP system that was ripe for replacement. It was expensive to maintain and didn’t operate in new technologies. ‘It was on the cards that we needed to switch to a newer version of the same system,” says Chief Accountant Knut Øyvind Myklebust. However, Tussa “realised that we really did not need major customisation and tailoring. The challenge with traditional systems is that they can be developed in different directions, and it will quickly become very comprehensive. We do essentially the same as everyone else in accounting and economics, and therefore chose to check out more solutions.”
According to Myklebust, Tussa evaluated five ERP systems. Xledger caught his eye. “The functionality we looked at in Xledger far exceeded what we saw in the other competitors.” Tussa agreed with Myklebust and signed with Xledger in December of 2017. “Xledger has all the functionality we need already in place,” Myklebust reports. “Now we automate processes such as invoice handling, timetables and travel plans. And not least, I look forward to better reporting opportunities with real-time data.
“Xledger is growing, and we see new things coming forward that we can benefit from in our development of the group.”

If you’re a CFO for a mid-market business, you might want to put off carbon accounting for as long as you dare. It’s not that you don’t care about reducing emissions and staying accountable. It might simply be that your financial reporting team already has enough work on their plate.
Complex company structures are a headache for finance departments. From an operational perspective, we want to gain efficiency by creating synergy, removing silos, and eliminating duplication of effort. But, from a finance system perspective, maintaining separate, discreet databases for each statutory entity does little to facilitate this effort.
