Overview

Extensiv 3PL Warehouse Manager is a cloud-based warehouse management system purpose-built for third-party logistics providers. The product comes from Extensiv, the company formerly known as 3PL Central, which rebranded in May 2022 and is headquartered in El Segundo, California; it was founded in 2013.

The system is designed around the specific needs of multi-client 3PL warehousing, transforming operations to be paperless. It supports receiving created manually, via the SmartScan mobile scanning app, by file import, or electronically through EDI or API connections, and captures item-based handling, value-added services and storage charges as work is performed. Its standout capability is automated billing, which configures global and custom rates to capture every transactional event and integrates with QuickBooks for accounting.

Extensiv provides hundreds of integrations to e-commerce channels and marketplaces such as Amazon, Shopify, eBay, Walmart and Wayfair, plus reporting that gives brands visibility into the transactions that generate their charges. It is positioned for 3PLs and fulfillment operators managing inventory and orders on behalf of multiple customers.
