3PL Central Releases SaaS Technology for Remote Warehouse Monitoring

Oct. 22, 2009
3PL Central, a provider of warehouse management systems (WMS) for small- and mid-sized third-party logistics providers (3PLs), announces the release of 4PL Plus as part of the company’s flagship 3PL Warehouse Manager technology.

4PL Plus allows remote, partner and 4PL warehouses to manage multiple customers’ inventory in a real-time environment, the company says. The Web-based module supports general warehousing functions, including shipping, receiving, reporting and billing management. 3PL Central says customers can configure the Web-based technology in one day.

Specific functions for 4PL warehousing partners include real-time access to a 3PL’s system and the ability to ship, receive and run reports for select customers. The software-as-a-service (SaaS) technology also allows EDI integration, small parcel shipping and Web-based UCC-128 label printing.

The on-demand software allows 3PLs to manage inventory and billing for multiple customers, whether the 3PL owns its own warehouse or works with warehouse partners (4PLs), according to 3PL Central.
