Third‑ and Fourth‑Party Logistics: Extending Control Beyond Transport

Heiki’s role goes far beyond arranging transport. For many clients, we operate as a fully integrated logistics partner — coordinating suppliers, managing documentation flows, and ensuring that every movement meets the regulatory standards required for sensitive, restricted, or defence‑related goods.

3PL: Warehousing and Fulfilment for (regulated) Supply Chains

Heiki’s 3PL services focus on specialized warehousing and fulfilment for organizations that handle sensitive, restricted, or defence‑related goods. Instead of generic storage, we provide controlled environments, compliant processes, and precise handling standards tailored to regulated cargo.

Our 3PL activities include:

  • Secure warehousing with controlled access and structured inventory management
  • Order fulfilment and pick‑and‑pack services for high‑value or regulated items
  • Inbound and outbound flow coordination aligned with licensing and documentation requirements
  • Stock management and reporting with full traceability
  • Preparation of compliant shipping documentation before release of goods

This gives clients a trusted partner who not only stores their goods, but ensures that every movement — from shelf to shipment — meets the regulatory and operational standards required for restricted cargo.



Control Tower: Centralized Visibility, Compliance, and Decision Support

Heiki’s Control Tower function provides clients with a single, secure hub for all logistics information — essential for organizations handling regulated, dual‑use, or defence‑related goods.

Our Control Tower capabilities include:

  • End‑to‑end visibility of all shipments, milestones, and exceptions
  • Proactive risk management based on routing, licensing, and regulatory constraints
  • Centralized communication between suppliers, carriers, authorities, and internal teams
  • Compliance oversight ensuring that documentation, permits, and approvals are in place before movement
  • Performance reporting and continuous improvement across the entire supply chain

This centralized approach reduces operational risk, increases predictability, and ensures that sensitive shipments move with full control and transparency.


4PL: End‑to‑End Orchestration of Sensitive Supply Chains

Heiki’s 4PL services provide full oversight and coordination of complex, regulated supply chains — especially those involving restricted, dual‑use, or defence‑related goods. Instead of operating a single warehouse or transport lane, we manage the entire logistics ecosystem on behalf of our clients.

Our 4PL role includes selecting, contracting, and steering the right partners for each step of the chain. This covers outsourced warehousing and fulfilment, specialized carriers, compliance experts, and other service providers required to move sensitive cargo safely and legally.

Key elements of our 4PL activities include:

  • Designing compliant supply chain structures that meet export control, DG, and defence‑related regulations across jurisdictions.
  • Selecting and managing external warehouses and fulfilment partners, ensuring they meet the standards required for controlled or high‑risk goods.
  • Coordinating multiple logistics providers under one unified strategy, with Heiki as the single point of accountability.
  • Aligning all movements with licensing requirements, destination controls, and documentation flows.
  • Optimizing lead times, routing, and risk profiles across multimodal networks.
  • Ensuring full visibility and governance through centralized monitoring and reporting.

As a 4PL, Heiki becomes the strategic layer above the operation — ensuring that every warehouse, carrier, and partner in the chain performs to the compliance and quality standards your cargo demands.
