As a 3PL fulfillment partner, your clients are at the centre of your operations and working seamlessly together is the key to a successful working relationship.
A 3PL warehouse management system will streamline your operations by digitalising processes, adding automation and using technology to improve accuracy; while also simplifying your client management tasks such as communications, invoicing and reporting.
Benefits of a 3PL WMS
Transparency for you and your clients
Keep clear records of client data such as their chargeable rates, contact details and invoices within the WMS.
Additionally, to foster a good working relationship, you can give your clients full visibility of their own data, including:
- Account information
- API connections
- Order progress
- Inventory levels
- Invoices
- Reports
Reduced queries
By giving your clients access to their account data, it reduces the burden on your administrative staff to be sending emails, making calls and answering large volumes of queries.
By having their information via their own login, your clients can self-serve any queries they have, raise ASNs and view reports and invoices, and they’ll only need to get in touch if the information is not available via the WMS, or if something is amiss.
Simplify client billing
Keep clear records of the chargeable rates for each individual client. Rates include:
- Storage costs
- Handling costs
- Fulfillment costs
- Shipping costs
Remove all of the guesswork from building your client invoices by generating invoices based on the rates stored in their account and on the activities you’ve performed on their behalf and tracked within the WMS.

What our customers think of Access WMS
It was really the scale of our warehousing expansion that led us to take on the Access WMS. We knew our existing solution didn’t meet our requirements in terms of management, picking lists, picking locations, etc. – the system could not handle the number of locations and products. So we decided to get a warehouse solution in, and Access WMS suited our needs.
Access WMS has really improved the way we conduct ourselves as a business – it has helped us increase our revenue and gained us new customers. 3PL is a competitive industry and our customers rely on our 100% pick accuracy and rapid response times. So while our customers win with great service we win with productivity and efficiency gains; a true win-win.
As you can imagine working on Excel previously and then moving over to an effective WMS has made a huge difference. Access WMS is such an approachable system, it’s easy to use, easy to pick up and the way we’ve been able to service customers, especially online, has had a massive positive impact on the business.
