Small Parcel Shipping for Today’s 3PLs
Best practice receiving, picking, packing, and shipping workflows from within your WMS
We’ve built our cloud-based WMS based on 3PL best practices so that warehouses can keep up with the rise of ecommerce, omnichannel, and high order volume.
Our unified small parcel shipping suite, comprised of SmartScan, SmartPack™, and SmartParcel™, creates seamless workflows developed to optimize warehouse efficiency by reducing manual and paper processes.
Using extensive research from our 3PL Intelligence Initiative, these products offer 3PL ecommerce warehouse best practice workflows that reduce manual labor while increasing accuracy for warehouse staff.

The cost of a single mispick to a warehouse without verified packing
Packing accuracy with SmartPack to ensure each order is correctly packed
3PL Warehouse Manager, combined with the unified small parcel shipping suite, provides an end-to-end solution for ecommerce and high-volume fulfillment in three simple steps. These best practices deliver repeatable and scalable workflows to enhance 3PL ecommerce performance and accuracy.
Remove employee guesswork with onscreen picking instructions directly on your mobile scanning device.
Accurately scan and verify each order once – no need to keep rechecking orders.
Print labels, connect with carriers, and select the best shipping rate from within your WMS powered by ShipEngine.
SmartScan integrates directly with 3PL Warehouse Manager WMS so data flows both ways for up-to-the-minute updates from the warehouse floor to the back office. The process starts with accurately receiving inventory into the warehouse, ensuring accuracy until the item is shipped. SmartScan improves accuracy and visibility across all warehouse functions so you can:
SmartScan offers modern barcode scanning on virtually any device.
SmartPack ensures each order is accurately packed before completion.
Packing processes should be effortless and efficient. SmartPack simplifies and automates packing.
Following this hand-free process eliminates manual errors and increases efficiency for warehouse staff. Scan once, pack once, and verify each order in real-time – every time.
Shipping is labor-intensive. By automating shipping processes, SmartParcel empowers warehouse workers to process every order efficiently, accurately with minimal training required, and with the best rate at the best time with rate shopping. SmartParcel is now powered by ShipEngine, the leading multi-carrier provider that powers Stamps.com and ShipStation. This direct integration allows customers the ability to easily support high volume shipping, integrate with more carriers, and reduce shipping account set-up time to mere minutes.
With SmartParcel, you can say goodbye to:
SmartParcel lets you manage multiple carrier accounts per customer within the WMS.
Implementing SmartPack and SmartParcel allowed us to expand our services to ecommerce fulfillment while cutting costs nearly in half.
