Warehouse management system

3PL logistics warehouse management

Terra Logistics, a transport management system, is for companies looking for a solution that covers not just one function but a broad system that helps manage all the company's processes and employee activities, track its vehicles and warehouses, follow incoming and outgoing cargo flows and distribute them properly, and, most importantly, track and share information in real time, so that office staff and warehouse staff exchange information and the necessary documents on time. Distributing cargo across different routes and making the right decisions improves the company's operations and helps avoid mistakes.

3PL: what is it?

3PL (third-party logistics) means using the services of other companies, combining warehousing, inbound and outbound goods and transport services. 3PL logistics services are combined to manage warehouses and their cargo. The Terra Logistics transport management system lets you combine all of these actions, place orders with transport service providers straight from the system, order services and plan arrivals at and departures from the right warehouses. The system makes third-party logistics management easier, helps describe the necessary processes and lets you track and follow the orders placed.

What Terra Logistics can offer

Terra Logistics is a system for companies that not only use carriers' services but also have their own vehicles and warehouses. That is why it can be integrated with third-party systems for warehouse management, vehicle tracking and status changes. A lot of time is saved on data exchange and no paper documents need to be passed around, because the systems exchange data with each other in real time. The data are visible at once in one place. The system lets you follow the status of your cargo in the warehouse in one place, along with its changes, arrival, transshipment or departure. A wide choice of features lets you manage cargo and its information and follow its route. Additional integrations make sure all the necessary information is visible in real time in one system.

3PL logistics, or third-party logistics, covers receiving goods in warehouses, storing, distributing, handing over and delivering them, and managing not only your own warehouses but also those of other warehouse service providers. This module also covers document management: issuing invoices, moving goods between warehouses and managing their information. The module of the transport management system for cargo transport and its management helps process the information sent to and received from third-party warehouses, cargo distribution and the necessary points. The 3PL module is for companies of all sizes, small and large, whatever their line of business.

Benefits of a warehouse management system

The Terra Logistics warehouse management system helps you handle information in real time and also helps manage staff and follow their work, which makes it easier to control movement and replenishment. This helps balance inventory and create more space in the warehouse. The benefits of a warehouse management system include:

• better real-time stock levels;
• cargo tracking and orders fulfilled on time;
• better organized vehicle use;
• monitoring of warehouse space and workload;
• lower costs.

The warehouse management features are built for large warehouses with large amounts of cargo, vehicles and staff. The system helps the warehouse team pick orders in large volumes and make sure everything is picked quickly and accurately.

Every warehouse stores some kind of goods that need to be described and visible in the system. That is why all shipments can be assigned to categories, which makes them easier to find. When an order is placed, warehouse staff know exactly where to look. Everything can also be coded and given a barcode. With a barcode scanning system for stock, there is less chance of missing a shipment. With a barcode scanner, staff do not need to enter data by hand: once scanned, the information is visible in Terra Logistics.

How can the system help?

The Terra Logistics warehouse management system lets a company improve its competitive advantage by reducing labor costs, improving customer service and inventory accuracy, and increasing flexibility and responsiveness. The warehouse management software lets a company manage inventory in real time, with data such as the latest order, shipment or invoice. A warehouse management system that helps track inventory can help reduce unnecessary movement of both stock and staff and reduce or even eliminate some manual processes. This can improve workflow, help track orders and keep work as efficient as possible.

With devices that read RFID tags in the warehouse, the system can track everything in the warehouse in real time. This increases efficiency, and the system can also follow historical information that helps optimize customer service. Customers can follow their order information through their own customer portal.
