Where it fits

From client rates to client invoices, for 3PL warehouses.

  1. Set each client's rates once

    Each client's charge codes and rate schedule are set once, with a new effective date when prices change.

  2. Orders and trucks arrive already planned

    Orders that arrive by EDI or as web orders are reviewed and converted into warehouse receipts and shipments with one action.

  3. Every receipt and shipment on one record

    Every receipt, shipment and adjustment is handled on one record, from planning through completion.

  4. Show each client the lots you hold for them

    Any item drills down to its lots and sublots with on hand and available quantities, and a whole lot can be put on hold.

  5. Report on stock and activity, filed by role

    Standard reports show what you hold, where it sits and what moved.

  6. This step

    Invoice every client from the charges captured

    Invoices for every client on a billing cycle are generated from the charges captured and previewed before you commit them.
