To be able to effectively manage your third party warehouse, you need a solution tailored to the unique requirements of a 3PL.  Third Party Logistics (3PL) providers are rapidly becoming the solution of choice for companies for the warehousing and distribution of their products.  3PL operators not only face regular supply chain problems, but have to deal with configuration, setup, and operational flow for multiple owners.   The 3PL needs to be able to efficiently and accurately bill each owner as well. Supporting multiple owners within an operation adds logistical problems within the warehouse, especially if multiple owners store the same product.

CoreWarehouse WMS can easily handle the issues of each owner and give you control of your 3PL billing. CoreWarehouse enables you to configure and control the product flow for owners and item classes independently, determining whether to receive in one or two steps, how to process orders, and reporting requirements for each owner.  Warehouse configuration is flexible by owner, including zones/locations used by each owner and mixing owner's stock. This option becomes especially useful when value added processes like kit processing and work order management are used. In addition, order fulfillment time can be reduced by not having to segregate owner stock by zones, whether it is in a designated forward pick area or throughout the warehouse operation.
