The Problem
3PL and warehouse systems operate independently from your ERP and sales channels. Orders must be sent to the warehouse, inventory levels received back, and shipment confirmations routed to the right systems. Without automation, this creates fulfillment delays and inventory blindspots.
How The Workflow Works
1
New orders are routed to the 3PL or warehouse system
2
Warehouse receives and queues orders for picking
3
Inventory receipts and adjustments flow to the ERP
4
Shipment confirmations with tracking are sent back
5
Tracking data is distributed to sales channels and customers
6
Inventory levels are updated across all connected systems
7
Receiving and inbound shipments are tracked end-to-end
