Overview
3PL Central, now known as Extensiv 3PL Warehouse Manager, is a cloud-based warehouse management system built specifically for third-party logistics providers. It is widely used by 3PLs handling e-commerce fulfillment, retail distribution, cold storage, and general warehousing across a range of industries. The system manages all day-to-day warehouse operations and serves as the operational backbone for multi-client warehouse environments.
Core warehouse workflows include receiving, directed putaway, inventory tracking, picking, packing, and shipping. The SmartScan mobile barcode scanning module enables paperless warehouse operations across receiving, picking, and inventory audits. Inventory can be tracked by SKU, lot number, serial number, expiration date, and warehouse location, with real-time visibility at every stage of the fulfillment process. The platform supports multiple picking methods, generates shipping documentation, and handles omnichannel order processing from marketplaces and shopping carts through a single inventory pool.
Logistics teams commonly rely on 3PL Central for real-time inventory positions, order status, and pick/pack/ship confirmation data. The system includes a customer-facing portal for on-demand inventory visibility, automated event notifications, and supports EDI and API-based data exchange for order and shipment information.
