3PL Software Provider
3PL Central Announces New Features for Cold Storage and Public
Warehouses Handling Food Products
On-Demand
3PL WMS Now Supports Variable Unit of Measure SKUs for
Small- and Mid-sized Public Warehouses
Orem, UT - July 31, 2008 - 3PL
Central (www.3plcentral.com),
the first on-demand 3PL software provider to focus on small- to
mid-sized 3PLs, today announced support for SKUs via its flagship
3PL WMS offering, 3PL Warehouse Manager. Accurate inventorying
of Variable Units of Measures, often called "catch weight," is critical to cold storage
facilities and public warehouses handling products with inconsistent
product weight configurations. This dual inventory measurement
is typically found when managing food and food-related ingredients,
as well as components materials, such as textiles, metals, and
chemicals.
As with all 3PL Warehouse Manager features,
this new Variable Unit of Measure enhancement was initiated and
developed in response to the expressed needs of current 3PL Central
customers. The new capability supports a variety of configurations – and can
capture primary and variable units throughout the warehouse’s
workflow, including during receipt, order allocation and upon shipment – ensuring
total accuracy and visibility.
“3PL Central really understands my needs as a 3PL and has
developed the exact 3PL WMS functionality necessary to support
my food-related inventory management system needs,” said
Zachary Swartley, Vice President at EZ3PL. “And with the
Billing Wizard, they help make sure we don’t miss any billable
events.”
3PL Central’s on-demand warehouse management system (WMS),
3PL Warehouse Manager™, provides third party warehouse operators
a full-featured - yet affordable - “pay for what you use” 3PL
WMS solution. And as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) offering, the
variable unit of measure enhancement is available as a free and
instant upgrade to all 3PL Central subscribers who support more
than 200 customer inventories in over 2.5 million square feet of
warehouse space worldwide.
“We’re exited about the new variable unit of measure
capabilities for our existing and future customers,” said
John Watkins, President and CEO of 3PL Central. “The way
we’ve implemented the feature goes well beyond just catch
weight and supports our 3PL customers’ diverse vendor needs
so they can grow their businesses.”
In addition to the new variable unit of
measure feature, 3PL Warehouse Manager also supports multi-customer,
multi-warehouse and multi-user facilities – as well as;
billing management, advanced EDI support and real-time web-based
inventory visibility. Using 3PL Warehouse Manager allows small-
to mid-sized warehouse operators to add new business without
being restricted by the technological limitations or financial
barriers they encounter with packaged software products.
