About Hohde Group
Founded in 2014, Hohde Group is a Finnish provider of private dental and dental laboratory services. The group employs over 200 professionals and operates eleven dental offices and ten dental laboratories throughout Finland. Its focus is on delivering high-quality general and specialized dental care.
Challenges in Managing Business Data
Before Naviloq, managing consistent, reliable data across multiple units was complex. Different systems and manual processes slowed down reporting and made it difficult to monitor KPIs effectively at unit and group levels.
Henri Tuhkanen, CFO of Hohde Group, explains:
“Naviloq allows us to better include unit-level managers in business planning and to provide them with an understanding of matters regarding the entire group. Daily management of units is important, but finances are equally important and Naviloq provides support with it.”
Improved Planning and Reporting with Naviloq
Naviloq, previously known as Huubia, offers visualization and monitoring tools that help the organization gather and share data efficiently. The platform helps unit managers engage more fully with business planning and reporting.
Initially, around twenty users on the dental services side are using Naviloq, with plans to onboard laboratory units, bringing total users to about thirty.
Unified Platform Drives Efficiency and Competitive Advantage
Naviloq simplifies reporting and monitoring by consolidating all data into a single system. This reduces the need to search through different sources or manually create Excel reports, ensuring consistent KPIs and reliable business management.
“Naviloq allows us to report and monitor business based on the group's KPIs. When all data is in a single system, you do not have to look for information from different sources or create a separate Excel yourself. Everyone uses the same procedures, which increases the reliability of business management and also saves time,” Tuhkanen states.
Clear Benefits
The key benefits realised so far by Hohde Group in their Naviloq journey are:
Improved collaboration between clinics and group finance. All teams now speak the same reporting language.
KPIs available directly to clinic managers. Unit-level teams are empowered to engage with their own performance data.
Faster investor reporting. Quarterly KPIs are prepared directly from Naviloq without additional work.
Reduced Excel dependency. Teams no longer need to manually compile figures from various sources.
Efficient onboarding of new practices. Recently acquired clinics can be integrated without IT projects.
Unified planning and forecasting. Financial processes follow shared procedures group-wide.
Greater accuracy and time savings. Reports are reliable and ready without post-processing or rechecking.

Supporting Growth and Investor Reporting
As Hohde Group continues to grow, they regularly report KPIs to equity investors. Naviloq automates these reports, improving timeliness and accuracy.
“We report certain KPIs to them, which can be automated in the system thanks to Naviloq. In the future, by the end of every quarter these reports can also be created and forwarded faster,” Tuhkanen adds.
