Warehouse management for growing 3PLs
Different clients. One warehouse operation.
Run shared warehouse processes with client-specific packing checks, structured fields, inventory access and billing. Keep each client’s requirements close to the work.

How the work connects
Set the baseline
Choose the warehouse’s default packing checks.
Define a client exception
Override the relevant check for one merchant while retaining other defaults.
Work with the effective rule
Packing uses that merchant’s resolved policy; the client’s requirement follows the work.
A common process with room for each client
Set warehouse defaults, then apply merchant overrides in supported workflows. Packing verification resolves each check separately, so changing one client requirement preserves the other warehouse defaults.
Client-specific fields can add the information an account needs while locked warehouse fields remain required. The result is a shared operating framework with explicit client differences.
Give clients a useful view of their stock
The merchant inventory view separates available, allocated, receiving, damaged, held and expired quantities. Clients can understand their inventory state without access to other merchants’ records.
Merchant hold requests support disabled, approval-required and self-service modes. Choose who can act directly and which requests need a warehouse decision.
Turn recorded activity into invoices
SIP prices recorded usage and storage through rate cards and generates draft invoices. Review, finalize and issue an invoice, then record its payment status.
Agree the activities, rate-card rules and storage basis during implementation. Payment-status recording is separate from collecting payment.
Extend the relationship beyond fulfillment
Current merchant visibility connects the client to stock and orders. Scheduling, operational ticketing and external coordination are the next part of the integrated WMS experience.
Those integrations are coming soon. A walkthrough can cover current client workflows and the separate coordination tools, with availability made clear.
Frequently asked questions
Can different clients have different checks?
Selected policies support merchant overrides of warehouse defaults, including packing verification and receiving holds. Confirm each required policy rather than assuming every setting is per client.
Can clients place holds themselves?
The merchant hold workflow supports off, approval-required and self-service modes. An approval request does not hold stock until approved.
Does billing collect payment?
The verified workflow generates and issues invoices and records payment status. Automatic payment collection is not implied.
