A versatile partner in material logistics

Marketing agency Johdin’s versatility has resulted in some logistical challenges. The agency's large material quantities and need for reliable deliveries have called for not only flexibility, but also efficiency, in terms of which Grano has proven to be an invaluable partner.

Marketing agency Johdin Oy is a Finnish company that has been carrying out sales, promotion, advertising and demonstrations for companies for two decades. Johdin has sales representatives and employees throughout Finland.

Johdin’s versatility and needs have resulted in some specific challenges and requirements when it comes to logistics and warehousing. Simply put, Johdin has so many materials that the company is simply unable to store them all by itself. To tackle these challenges, Johdin has decided to rely on the comprehensive services of Grano.

Warehousing and logistics

“The materials that we need are stored here at Grano's warehouse. We order the materials via the My Grano system and Grano collects, packs and ships them to our employees all over Finland,” says Field Manager Mervi Mielonen from Johdin.

Delivery reliability is of paramount importance to Johdin, as sometimes the agency organises events on very short notice. 

“We need a partner who is capable of providing quick service. Grano has done a great job in this regard, carrying out material collection quickly. If we are really in a hurry, our employees can also pick up materials from the warehouse themselves,” Mervi says.

In addition to managing the warehousing and logistics of existing print materials, Grano is also able to handle the production of new materials.

A one-stop shop

“Grano is our one-stop shop. They are cost-efficient, fast, and everything just works. When you have a single reliable partner, you know you’ve made the right choice,” Mervi praises.

Responsibility, efficiency and reliability are all key elements for Johdin. These elements are also closely aligned with Grano’s values. Mervi commends Grano for the recyclability of its materials and the use of recyclable products, such as disposable containers.

“The partnership with Grano has worked very well. Whenever we have questions, they are answered immediately, and if they don’t know the answers, they direct us to the right place. We have a very reliable and pleasant contact person,” Mervi smiles.

“Everything has worked so well that I would definitely recommend Grano as a partner,” Mervi concludes.
