WMS for third-party logistics
Purpose built for multi-client operations, our Warehouse Management System (WMS) for 3PLs empowers logistics service providers to manage their workforce, processes and technology within their facilities. Our solution simplifies the onboarding process and supports the entire lifecycle of 3PL operations, including returns handling.
Challenges
What are the challenges?
Third-party logistics (3PL) providers face unique and demanding challenges in managing logistics and compliance for each customer. Their operations are characterized by a diverse range of customer requirements, making their environment more complex than that of traditional distributors and wholesalers. Key challenges faced by 3PL providers include:
Ongoing cost reduction efforts to remain competitive in this challenging sector
Increasing consumer expectations for faster deliveries and product availability
Constantly changing customer base with multiple sites in different countries
Meeting complex, specific, and rapidly changing customer needs
Storing and transporting hazardous or perishable goods while complying with industry-specific regulations
To address these challenges, transparency and real-time business intelligence across the entire supply chain are key. These improve visibility for customers, facilitate tracking shipments and enable quick adaption to changing customer needs.

Capabilities
Our key capabilities
-
Highly configurable solution
Our 3PL Warehouse Management System is highly configurable. By defining the roles, rules and workflows, the system adapts to clients’ individual requirements, without the need to code for specific clients or projects. This allows you to manage your business across multiple sites, clients and countries, regardless of location, language or currency.
-
Multi-client warehouse management
The WMS offers client-specific workflow components, including: appointment scheduling, inbound processes (directed receipt and put-away), inventory management (cycle count, replenishment, etc.), 3PL value-added service (kitting, light assembly, special processing, etc.), outbound processes (waving, picking, packing, etc.), carrier management.
-
Revenue assurance
By automatically invoicing the client for every chargeable activity, our billing engine ensures that 3PLs are paid for all services they provide. Unlike other systems, where invoicing is an add-on to a distribution-based WMS, the billing engine is an integral part of the application, ensuring high compliance and accuracy. Once the rules are configured, the system enforces the work activities for each client, calculating and accruing the charges in real time.
-
Client-specific configuration
Our 3PL tools enable you to manage your customers’ business processes, based on client-specific parameters. Individual processes can be configured for each combination of location, customer, supplier, recipient and product, ensuring a tailored fit for every application. This automatically ensures your order fulfillment complies with your customers’ service level agreements (SLA).
