By adopting WSO2 solutions, Posti has consolidated overlapping technologies and streamlined its technological landscape, aligning perfectly with its strategic vision to transform.

Posti is a versatile, modern, and international logistics expert owned by the government of Finland, delivering seamless logistics in the Baltic Sea region. For nearly 400 years, its overriding mission has been to foster connections between people and companies.

As e-commerce continues to boom, Posti is strategically shifting from a postal-centric company to a customer-focused delivery and fulfilment powerhouse. Recognising the decline in traditional mail volumes, Posti is embracing digital transformation with a robust strategy that includes an overhaul of its API management solution.

The implementation of WSO2 API Manager across Posti’s operations not only provided standardised API management services but has also empowered API product teams to accelerate development and manage APIs from a single platform. WSO2 seamlessly aligns with Posti’s API concept, empowering API product teams to focus on innovation, design and development rather than building technical capabilities.

With WSO2, Posti Group have seen improvements across the board, from development to deployment. Originally struggling with fragmented API management which hindered integration and slowed innovation using WSO2’s streamlined platform services, Posti can now bring products to market more quickly, ensuring a smooth user experience for its customers
