In a growing company, time is better spent on work than searching for individual tools and supplies from different stores. The partnership between LummeCo and ProMart has made purchasing more planned and efficient, freeing up time for the actual work: delivering high-quality exterior painting. In the video, LummeCo CEO Arvi Lumme talks about the challenges of a growing company and the benefits of starting a partnership with ProMart.
Growth created a new kind of need
In the early stages of LummeCo’s operations, the company grew quickly. Screwdrivers, drills, paintbrushes, and other supplies needed at job sites were picked up as needed from several different hardware stores.
A single shopping trip might have seemed like a small thing, but they added up quickly in a growing company. As the number of job sites, employees, and responsibilities increased, unnecessary time was spent searching for and picking up products.
Fewer supply runs
When purchasing is centralized, the workday doesn’t get interrupted by searching for individual tools and supplies from different stores.
More structured purchasing
With a familiar partner, needs can be anticipated and purchasing products becomes more systematic.
A call from ProMart changed the way purchasing was handled
The situation changed when Olli from ProMart contacted Arvi. In place of scattered hardware store runs, they began building a more centralized way of handling the company’s tool and supply purchases.
When purchasing is managed with a partner who understands the customer’s operations and needs, there’s no need to start from scratch every time. At the same time, job site needs can be anticipated more effectively and purchasing can be handled in a more organized way.
In LummeCo’s case, the partnership has helped reduce the time spent on individual hardware store visits. The necessary tools and painting supplies can now be purchased centrally through ProMart.
From a seven-year-old company to a Nordic operator
LummeCo is a seven-year-old exterior painting company that currently operates in Finland and Norway. The company is already looking ahead to the future and possible expansion into other Nordic countries as well.

As growth continues, the importance of smooth partnerships becomes even more pronounced. When a reliable partner takes care of the availability of tools and supplies, LummeCo can focus on its core expertise and developing its operations.
For ProMart, successful cooperation means above all understanding the customer’s day-to-day reality and growing and succeeding together: the right products, reliable service, and less time wasted on unnecessary hassle.
