Third-party logistics platform
Receiving through shipping on the floor. Multi-broker LTL rate shopping and load tendering on the freight desk. A client portal your customers log into themselves. Built hand in hand with an operating 3PL and run in production every day.
No credit card, no trial clock — a walkthrough against your own workflow.
3 portals
Operators, clients and carriers — one login, routed by permission.
3 LTL brokers
Rated in parallel on every quote, then booked from the winning rate.
6 sales channels
Shopify, WooCommerce, TikTok Shop, Temu, eBay, plus any REST system.
2 languages
English and Chinese in the web app; English and Spanish on the handheld.
The platform
Most 3PLs run a WMS for the floor, a spreadsheet for the freight desk, and email for the client. WMS NextG is one database behind three purpose-built front doors, and a single sign-in that routes each person to the right one.
The office shell. Inventory, inbound, orders, freight, billing, payables, workforce, reports and settings, gated by a permission model with roles you define yourself.
A full self-service portal, not a read-only inventory view. Clients place orders, book their own LTL, watch cross-dock loads, pull reports and settle invoices without emailing your team.
Brokers and carriers get their own shell to see posted loads, reserve them and track what they have won — with rate and customer detail redacted server-side, not just hidden in the interface.
On the floor
Work is directed, not remembered. Putaway tasks are generated on receipt, counts are sequenced along the warehouse's own pick path, and every movement writes an inventory transaction you can trace back.
Receiving against ASNs, with photo capture
Directed putaway from a work queue
Order, batch and multi-order run picking
Packing and shipping with label purchase
Cycle counts in walk order
Returns and RMA intake through disposition
Cross-dock: container in, loads out, no putaway
Pallet and carton license plates
Lot numbers and expiry dates
Moves by location, SKU or pallet
The handheld
A native app for Android handhelds and PDAs — not a phone-shaped copy of the website. It reads hardware laser triggers as well as the camera, and prints where the work happens.
Freight & parcel
Quote LTL across every broker account on the platform — ours, yours, or both — book from the winning rate, and post what you cannot cover to a board your carriers already watch.
One quote request fans out in parallel to every broker account on the platform and comes back as one comparable list. Book from the winning rate, get the BOL, track the shipment, pull the documents.
Post a load to your carrier network by hand, in bulk, or on a schedule. Reserve, revoke and notify are all first-class, and the broker's view is redacted on the server.
Post a load and it is offered to your tendering partner automatically, with the tender withdrawn the moment another carrier wins it. One live tender per posting, enforced in the database.
Rate and buy parcel labels through a single gateway covering FedEx, UPS, USPS, DHL, GOFO and UniUni — and see whether a rate came from your client's negotiated account or yours.
LTL invoices are matched back against what was quoted and booked, so a reweigh or an accessorial surfaces as a variance instead of quietly eroding the margin on that lane.
Container appointment lookup, plus a tokenized scheduling link the drayage company opens straight from the delivery-order email — no account, no password to reset.
Integrations
Connect a client's storefront once and orders flow in, fulfilments flow back, and inventory stays in step. For anything without a prebuilt connector there is a config-driven REST connector and a documented public API.
Billing & reporting
3PL billing is not an add-on here. Charges are minted automatically from the work that actually happened, and the reporting layer is a query builder rather than a fixed list of reports.
Dock & gate
Drivers check themselves in from a QR code at the gate. The system matches them against expected loads, flags the mismatches, estimates the wait, and tells the floor which door to open — all in real time.
Dock doors with status and direction
Visual dock map with real positions
Candidate-load matching on check-in
Statistical wait-time estimates
Driver ID capture and review
Out-of-service reasons that stick
Workforce
The same handheld the floor already carries is the time clock. Punches are geofenced and can be verified by face, so a shift belongs to the person who worked it.
Isolation & security
Tenant separation is enforced at the data layer, not by remembering to add a filter to a query. Every table carrying a tenant key is classified, and a test fails the build if a new one is added without being classified — so a table cannot quietly escape scoping.
Two-level tenancy: operator, then client
Warehouse scoping on top of both
Two-step verification, by app or email
Trusted devices for 30 days
Broker credentials encrypted at rest
API keys stored hashed, never recoverable
Why it exists
Built hand in hand with an operating 3PL, because nothing on the market fit the way the floor actually ran.
Every part of it is in daily use — receiving, picking, freight, billing and the client portal. Features land because an operation needed them, and they ship after being used on a real dock, not after a roadmap review.
