Empowering Network Management

Efficiently manage all parties in your network with high visibility and billing, order management, and inventory management tools designed for multi-facility fulfillment. Growing your warehousing operation to multiple locations is a huge accomplishment, and one source of truth for order fulfillment and inventory between locations can streamline communications, de-risk the supply chain, and help 3PLs take advantage of timely market opportunities.

Decentralization of Inventory

Housing inventory in one main location or hub can make fast and efficient ecommerce delivery very difficult. Decentralization of inventory allows 3PLs to have greater control over the supply chain by reducing freight expense, mitigating delays, avoiding capacity issues. Visibility into network warehouses’ real-time inventory levels allows them to feel comfortable dispersing inventory to optimal locations without sacrificing tracking accuracy.

Order Management

3PLs spend a significant amount of time managing orders based on set criteria, such as shipping location, inventory level, classification requirements, and more. Manually routing orders between multiple facilities can involve manual data entry, spreadsheet management, phone and email communication, and other administrative tasks that can be time-consuming and prone to errors. By automating order management, 3PLs leverage their network to meet ecommerce SLAs at the lowest possible cost.

Reach Your Expansion Goals

Reduce the pain of expanding as much as possible by utilizing a 4PL network or your network of existing warehouses to route orders with advanced inventory visibility and automated order management to reduce friction. With one system housing order management, inventory management, billing, communication, and more, 3PLs can offer more robust, agile services to their clients and lower the overall cost of sales. Compete on a grander scale than 3PLs still utilizing manual processes and struggling to keep up with shipping costs and delivery times. Utilizing a bigger network means offering more value-added services to your clients with a lower overall cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Extensiv Network Manager?

Extensiv Network Manager is a combined program of software, services, and tools that link 3PL warehouses together to work in a 4PL network of warehouse capacity, visibility, and order orchestration across multiple 3PL Warehouse Manager accounts. Extensiv Network Manager is designed to help 3PLs better serve their customers by expanding into new markets, facilitating geographic distribution of inventory, partnering with new facilities, and extending new value-added services across the supply chain. 

What is a 4PL?

Fourth-party Logistics (4PLs) providers are so named because they are three steps away from the end consumer, creating an extra degree of distance between the logistics provider and consumer. A traditional 3PL owns the relationship with their client, say, a retail brand, and neither owns the products nor interacts with the purchasers of the brand’s products. However, let’s say this retail brand has eCommerce customers all over the country. If the 3PL only operates one or two warehouses, it can be difficult to provide the speed of shipping that the brand’s customers expect and remain cost-effective. 

In this case, the 3PL may be able to enlist other 3PL warehouses to assist with servicing areas in which it does not have warehouses. The organizer of this network of 3PLs is considered a 4PL. The original 3PL can contract out portions of the logistics process to others in different locations, allowing them to efficiently keep up with growing region and time expectations. It is a mutually beneficial process in which all 3PLs involved can take on more clients than they would be able to otherwise. 

What is the difference between 3PL Warehouse Manager and Extensiv Network Manager?

Extensiv Network Manager is built on the backbone of the entire Extensiv software suite, including 3PL Warehouse Manager. With Extensiv Network Manager, 3PL Warehouse Manager is used by each warehouse to drive consistency for normal operations such as receiving orders, picking, packing, and shipping. Extensiv Network Manager is a new technical overlay that provides inventory visibility, transaction visibility, and order management across multiple 3PL Warehouse Manager accounts.   

The warehouse operators can work exclusively in 3PL Warehouse Manager while administrators can monitor the complete network through the Extensiv Network Manager interface. 

What is included with Extensiv Network Manager?
  • The Extensiv Network Manager interface provides transaction and inventory visibility across multiple 3PL Warehouse Manager accounts, which can be viewed by warehouse providers and the brands they service 
  • Advanced order management to address exceptions before orders reach the warehouse 
  • Network-wide dashboards for instant visibility and accountability 
  • Connectivity to shopping carts, ERPs, and marketplaces  
  • Distributed inventory specialists who can help manage all aspects of your network operations
