Pros

The product has been a great solution for us as it's very inexpensive and uncomplicated to implement and run. Our core business is Foodserviec and we did not want to implement a full warehouse management package to run our 3PL business so we looked for SaaS solutions instead. 3PL Central was among the least expensive we found and it has all of the core functionality we need. Customer service/support are excellent. The product is being improved on constantly. Although not the most sophisticated package on the market it offers a strong value.

Cons

Ease of use is not what it could be because of a few shortcomings like not being able to alpha search product descriptions for order entry or reciever entry.

Overall

Great solution for small to mid-sized 3PL providers.

Pros

Ability to manage warehouses, products, orders and customers from anywhere you have internet connection dramatically saves time and money. 3PL is the best investment the a small to med size warehouse can have, it is very easy to use which cuts on training time and rich in practical features that makes it affordable to all small businesses.

Cons

The lack of an auto save feature is problematic omission we hope to see in future releases.

Overall

3PL is the most inexpensive warehouse management tool I have ever implemented, but it's also fast, complete, and straightforward.

Pros

Very versatile! Our clients are overwhelmed with the information provided.

Cons

None that our company has found.

Overall

As one of the first customers of 3PL Warehouse Manager we have seen the evolution in this product. Our company would recommend this product to other users.

Pros

3PL offers us the following benefits:

24/7 web visibility for our customers.
Multiple EDI formats to exchange data.
Shiping and receiving e-mail notifications.
Ease of navigation for customers.
Simple order and receiving windows navigation.
UPS label integration.
On-going system upgrades at no charge.
Excellent reporting capabilities.
Bar coding capability.
Great customer service.

Cons

System needs to provide the capability to print pallet labels for inbound shipments with lot and shipment details.

System needs to be upgraded to provide more flexible billing schemes.

System needs to produce a distinct shipping tally for the consignee to sign at time of pick-up.

Overall

Our distribution customers demand a warehouse management system that allows 24/7 visibility of their products, that allows them to send and receive orders electronically and is scalable to meet their future growth plans. The solution for us was 3PL. The 3PL system gives our customers outstanding features but still provides our company with a cost effective WMS solution. The ease of navigation for both customers and our users is a big plus. New features are always being added to upgrade the system. Customer support has been terrific. When we have a problem the courteous staff at 3PL has always responded quickly and professionally. I also like the small business attitude of "how can we get it done together so everyone wins". 3PL has been great for our company and I recommend it to any warehouse looking to upgrade their WMS system.

Pros

easy to use

Cons

none at this moment. all needs taken care of.

Overall

yes, would highly recommend.

Pros

Web-based system that is very user friendly.

System is scalable, thus giving us the opportunity for growth, whether we're processing one carton or 100,000 cartons it works.

Cons

We have not had any issues, the support team has worked to resolve any challenges we've encountered.

Overall

Great buy for the small to mid-sized company on a tight WMS budget.

We've certainly got more bang for our buck!

Pros

- Easy-of-use and implementation across our different locations.
- Low initial investment costs.
- We can give customers an answer in a couple of seconds or they can log in and check themselves.
- Our customers like having the ability to log on and see their inventory status.

Cons

- Turn-around time on adding new features

Overall

3PL's web-based system has kept our initial investment costs down. Our inventory accuracy went from 91% to 99%, allowing us to provide better customer service and avoid expensive errors. 3PL has also provided us with a solid checks and balances system, which was the driving force behind implementing a warehouse management system. We are automatically alerted on all receipts and shipments, so no inventory goes unaccounted for. No other solution out there is in the same league in terms of functionality, ease-of-use, and pricing. We love it!

Pros

Web-based 3PL software is exactly what we need at Falcon. Being web-based, we are able to access our data easily, and our customers are able to view their transactions and inventory 24/7. This fact alone helps reduce the number of customer service calls for routine information. Another savings comes from the absence of upfront infrastructure expense required with site-based systems. Rather than ordering equipment and software and waiting for it to be installed and secured, we were up and running almost immediately. We would not choose anything other than 3PL software for our needs.

Cons

The only thing I could consider a con at this point is possibly the restrictions we currently have with running our shipping labels through 3PL. Although, there are some labels setup, we are not adequate for our needs, so we have a separate program set up where we enter and print our labels. I do know, however, that this issue is before the developers, and we anticipate upgrades in this area soon.

Overall

I would definately recommend 3PL software to anyone in the 3PL business. We have been very pleased with the functionality, cost and customer support. Also, 3PL is always looking for ways to improve their product...most always without additional costs.

Pros

-Very easy to set up and get started.
-Intuitive interface.
-Responsive customer service with frequent updates based on our needs/requests.
-Affordable yet robust.
-Direct access for our clients.

Cons

-Shipping module isn't great.
-Inability to do ad-hoc reporting.
-No current Quickbooks billing integration (but on the plus side, this is something they are working on based on client input).

Overall

This has been a great system for us.
It's very easy to use
The integration was relatively quick and easy.
Almost immediately we began to reap the benefits/efficiencies 3PL Central provides.
The added functionality has improved our offerings & service to our current clients and has also been a great sales tool. The customer service has been very responsive to our needs.
They've been excellent at listening to our requests and promptly modifying the system.
3PL Central has worked great for us.
I'd fully recommend it as a WMS solution.

Pros

User friendly
Great Customer Support
Tracking / recording complete

Cons

Slow when processing large batches

Overall

Overall, I rate 3Pl Central as a very user friendly 3rd party logistics program. I tried another prior to selecting 3PL Central and I must say that, not only is the system mcu better, but the customer service far exceeds the prior company.

Pros

This web based warehouse management software is exactly what we needed. It keeps tract of our inventory very easily with sleek reports. They have a billing wizard that allows us to bill for in/out and project work. The system also has a built in bill of lading and allows for UPS/Fedex integration for shipping. So far this is the best technology investment we ever made. Keep up the good work 3PL central!

Cons

We will keep you posted.

Overall

I would highly recommend this to any warehouse that does not want to invest $50,000+. In fact we have found this online based software to be fully customizable with a little assistance from their development team so it does exactly what we need it too.

Pros

This is great software if you are looking for Third Party Logistic WMS Software. I looked everywhere for software like 3PL Central for our Forwarder WMS Solutions, but not even we found what we are looking for, but it was perfect for our WMS operations.

Cons

If you need to modify any of the system functions, you need to pay for customization programming fee. But I guess it is very normal for SaaS software like this one. Only reason I gave 4 Star is I am sure every software needs more improvement and better solutions.

Overall

Again, if you are looking into 3rd Party Logistic WMS software, You might want to give 3PL Central a spin to try them out. If you are in Forwarding, Warehousing, Trucking business, you should check it out this software.

Pros

Ease on setting up products, entering orders and receiving products

Cons

nothing at this time

Overall

Very good very good
