Our Mission
At Uniter we believe that all activities in a company should start and end with the customer. Uniter helps companies and organisations to create a problem-solving culture that systematically solves problems with the customer need as the base. Problem solving is done in collaboration with stakeholders as well as customers. What is important is that every problem is solved systematically and by understanding the value it brings to the customer.
With more than 25 years of helping and collaborating with large companies in different industries, Uniter has developed a customer centric and systematic way of transforming, sorting, organising and mapping the market demands and in handling variation through industrial processes. The methodology is a strong basis for modular, agile, and flow-oriented product, service and supply chain designs.
At Uniter we help our customer focus both on how to make more revenue by creating value in the offer and reduce cost by creating the value in an efficient way. At Uniter we call this Just-Enough.
“Many people believe that when implementing a new system, only know-how is required. However, if you want to succeed, you must understand know-why as well.”
– Shigeo Shingo, 1981
Uniter was founded in 2014 by Jonas Ahlstrand and Pär-Olof Hjorth, with the mission of solidifying the link between customer demands and industrial processes, such as product and service development. Both founders come from a Toyota-inspired problem-solving culture that champions organisational-wide efforts in identifying, solving, and preventing issues.
Our consultancy expertise is rooted in our long-standing collaboration with Scania, the Swedish truck manufacturer. Known for pioneering the concept of Modularisation, Scania has co-developed the methodology we employ at Uniter. Since our inception, we’ve extended our services across multiple industries, assembling a robust team of experts in Modularisation, Product and Service Strategy as well as Supply Chain.
Background
The Future
In today’s volatile market conditions, the looming question is: How does one formulate a Product Strategy amidst uncertainty or disruption? This very challenge encapsulates the core issue our approach aims to address.
What We Do
We’re committed to set in motion genuine organisational change by integrating ourselves within the client’s operations, engaging both top-down and bottom-up to establish effective processes, tools, and workflows.
True Modularisation
For us, Modularisation is not merely about component reusability. It’s about achieving a level of organisation-wide systemisation that accommodates diverse market demands while enabling each customer to receive a seemingly customised solution, assembled smartly from a pre-configured set of options.
Mindset
The Uniter Methodology is less a set of strict guidelines and more a philosophy. It prioritises the “why” over the “how,” championing an outside-in perspective in product strategy, planning, and market understanding.

About
Uniter AB is a management consultancy firm that helps companies and organisations create a problem-solving culture. A culture that makes the company able to adjust to an ever-changing market demand in an efficient way. The basic idea is that customers are individuals with individual needs, that will vary from customer to customer, region to region and country to country. It is important that the industrial methods used to create efficiency in the industrial system do not ruin the ability to supply a varied and adaptable offer to the customers. In fact, there are ways to create modular products and processes that are flowing efficiently towards an effective way of satisfying the very varied customer demand. By involving the whole organisation in a system where problem solving; finding problems – fixing problems – keeping problems from coming back, it is possible to create a balanced system that is both efficient in the operations and effective towards the customers. The optimal balance or the optimal compromise of a complex organisational system is our goal.
Uniter leaves the companies we support with the ability to do systematic problem solving by themselves. We support in the process of creating such a management system.
