The 3PL Central Advantage                           

Current WMS software offerings are still bought and deployed the same way they were 20 years ago. You select a vendor, buy the software, pay 2-3 times the software purchase price for implementation and customization and in about 3 months you're up and running.

At 3PL Central, we think there is a better way to buy and deploy WMS functionality. All of our products are accessible via the Internet, where they are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Providing you and your customers with the ability to see everything that's happening wherever you have Internet access. Any place. Any time.

It is sometimes called Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), or on-demand software, or web-based software - but whatever its name, the result is the same - a user-friendly, platform-neutral, always-on software tool.

How did we do it? We built 3PL Central from the ground up - focused on supporting 3PLs, public warehouses and other logistics providers who serve multiple customers. We specifically built our software to be flexible - so that it can grow with you. And since we focused on multi-facility, multi-vendor operations, it is perfect for any firm who needs to manage such operations - or expects to in the future.

So, what are the benefits of a web-based solution?

• Your staff, your customers and their consumers all see the same data in real-time. This means your salesperson doesn't need to talk to customer service to check the status of an order - and a customer can track their own shipments/transactions.
• Provides you with the ability to pay as you go, rather than having to make investments in management time, hardware, and software.
• Reduces your risk of acquiring new software.
• Allows you to influence product and service quality via an ongoing relationship with us.
• Gives you the flexibility to change usage commitments as business circumstances change.
• Eliminates the expense of paying for software upgrades and maintenance issues - these are included in your monthly fee.
• Allows you to predict more accurately your ongoing expenses as your IT budget is tightened and scrutinized.
• Provides the ability to scale the entire system to grow with the business.
• Allows you to add or remove warehouses as needed
• Provides full user management to ensure the people who should see the data can - and those who shouldn't don't!
• Gives you the assurance of security through advanced data encryption
• Provides regular, automatic data backups (done daily so all of your valuable business data is safe and secure).
• Enables total platform independence - PC or Mac - it doesn't matter!
