PTV (Finnish Public Service Information)

PTV is Finland’s national public service information system, used to manage and distribute verified data about public service locations and contact details.

PinMeTo integrates directly with the PTV system via API, enabling verified data from Finnish public service authorities to flow automatically to platforms like Google, Apple Maps, and Facebook. This helps institutions stay compliant with national requirements while ensuring that citizens find accurate, up-to-date service information across the most widely used digital channels.


What is PTV?

PTV (Palvelutietovaranto) is Finland’s national information system for public services. It enables regional authorities to manage structured data about service locations, contact details, and operating hours. The system is designed to centralize and standardize public service data for use across digital platforms.

PinMeTo's Role in the Ecosystem

PinMeTo has developed an API integration with PTV that allows verified public service location data to be published directly to major digital platforms — including Google, Apple Maps, and Facebook. This ensures that accurate, compliant information reaches citizens wherever they search.

With this integration:

Public organizations can meet legal obligations to keep service data current.

Information flows automatically from PTV to platforms the public uses daily.

Manual exports and spreadsheet updates are replaced by secure, automated distribution.

Built for Scale and Trust

ISO-certified and GDPR-compliant: PinMeTo meets the highest standards for data handling and security.

Reliable at scale: Designed for multi-location environments like regional governments and public service authorities.

Minimizes errors: Structured data and automation reduce human mistakes and ensure citizens see approved, accurate information.

Why It Matters

This integration bridges the gap between compliance and discoverability. Public institutions can now ensure their official information is not only correct — but also visible and accessible across the digital ecosystem, helping them serve citizens more effectively and transparently.
