Lumene + Wiima
Collaboration with Lumene started in 2014. Wiima has since helped Lumene achieve cost savings in inbound and outbound logistics through rigorous and active freight tendering. Operations focused on established lanes to the US and intra-Europe transport.
“I can confidently say that our partnership with Wiima Logistics has been a success. We have achieved measurable resource savings and seen a significant reduction in our freight management workload. Wiima Logistics has been extremely reliable and professional, and I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking comprehensive logistics outsourcing solutions.”

Built on Intelligent and Scalable Technology
Wiima’s 4PL services rely on our proprietary digital ecosystem—tools designed for end-to-end logistics management. This platform delivers full visibility into orders, shipments, and costs, while enabling advanced analytics, reporting, and automation.
An open, API-ready architecture ensures seamless integration with customer ERP systems, carriers, and other supply chain partners. This creates a single digital environment where data flows efficiently, decision-making is accelerated, and the supply chain remains under control even as operations scale.
Actionable Insights to Support Decision-Making
Throughout the 4PL partnership, Wiima continuously gathers and analyzes your supply chain data—identifying areas for improvement and opportunities to enhance cost-efficiency, delivery reliability, and process fluidity.
This model of continuous optimization yields valuable intelligence for other business functions as well: product development, procurement strategy, and risk management. Furthermore, we provide management with in-depth analytics that elevate the role of the supply chain to the very core of strategic decision-making.
Sustainable Logistics and Emission Optimization through Data
Wiima’s 4PL service integrates sustainability into the core of supply chain management. We utilize real-time data and analytics to identify the most emission-efficient routes, transport modes, and partners—without compromising delivery reliability or cost-efficiency.
Continuous emission optimization is a built-in feature of our 4PL model: we monitor, benchmark, and improve the supply chain’s carbon footprint together with the client. In this way, we assist companies in transitioning towards genuinely greener, transparent, and responsible logistics—without losing sight of the results.
Different Operating Models, Different Levels of Control
Logistics can be organized in many ways—using in-house resources, a 3PL partner, or a 4PL model. The differences are not merely in cost structure, but above all in who manages the big picture and who possesses the data, visibility, and authority to develop the supply chain.
4PL differs from other models in that it acts as a fully independent coordinator: it integrates multiple carriers, warehouses, and systems into a single managed entity that is continuously optimized according to the client’s objectives.
See below how 4PL, 3PL, and in-house models differ: Comparison ChartBiohit + Wiima
Wiima executed a current state analysis of logistics and procurement, followed by the co-creation of a development roadmap. The goal was to transform Biohit’s new strategic objectives into tangible supply chain capabilities and actionable initiatives. As a result of this collaboration, Wiima now provides Biohit with outsourced services for both logistics and operational purchasing.
“Wiima has provided Biohit with exceptional flexibility and first-class, in-depth logistics expertise.”

What Issues Does 4PL Address?
Supply chains don’t typically break because of one delivery. The real issues are structural: scattered partners, fragmented data, unforeseen costs, and insufficient steering.
4PL brings these loose ends together under one control tower, one toolset, and clear responsibility.
Here are the core challenges most businesses face daily – challenges that 4PL solves systematically, instead of relying on ad-hoc band-aid solutions.
