Annual Awards Program Recognizes Innovation in the Global Supply Chain Technology and Logistics Industry
LOS ANGELES – SupplyTech Breakthrough, a leading independent market intelligence organization that evaluates and recognizes standout technology companies, products and services in the supply chain technology and logistics industry around the globe, today announced that Extensiv (formerly 3PL Central), delivering omnichannel software solutions for warehouse, inventory, and order management, has been selected as winner of the “3PL Platform of the Year” award in the annual SupplyTech Breakthrough Awards program.
Extensiv’s cloud-based platform was designed to help third-party logistics (3PL) warehouses drive efficiency in their warehouses, run their business better, and connect to a broader technology and partner ecosystem. Its core software, 3PL Warehouse Manager includes inventory and order management capabilities, warehouse pick, pack, and ship functionality, advanced analytics, billing for 3PLs, and a robust set of shopping cart, marketplace, and carrier integrations.
Extensiv also enables 3PLs to win new business and build smarter fulfillment networks through its Fulfillment Marketplace and Network Manager. Extensiv Fulfillment Marketplace provides a list of pre-vetted fulfillment partners best suited to merchants looking to find a new 3PL or 3PLs looking to build a 4PL network. Extensiv Network Manager helps 3PLs partner with geographically complementary 3PLs to offer distributed fulfillment services, while having full visibility and control of all orders flowing through the network.
“With so many changes happening across the supply chain, running a 3PL can involve a lot of complexity, uncertainty, and stress. At Extensiv, our mission is to alleviate that stress by giving 3PLs a platform to streamline their warehouse, optimize business performance, and build smarter fulfillment networks,” said Sheridan Richey, Chief Product and Technology Officer of Extensiv. “We’re proud to be named the 3PL Platform of the year by SupplyTech Breakthrough. As the industry evolves, we will continue to evolve and adapt our solution to address changing market conditions using innovative expertise and intelligent analytics to provide visibility and guidance to growing 3PLs.”
The mission of the annual SupplyTech Breakthrough Awards program is to conduct the industry’s most comprehensive analysis and evaluation of the top technology companies, solutions and products in the supply chain and logistics industry today. This year’s program attracted thousands of nominations from over 15 different countries throughout the world.
“Extensiv’s 3PL Warehouse Manager quickly transforms error-prone warehouse operations into streamlined and automated processes so that 3PLs can focus on customer satisfaction, operate efficiently, and grow faster. Consumers have developed high expectations around seamless and optimized order fulfillment, making distributed multi-warehouse fulfillment a must,” said Bryan Vaughn, Managing Director of SupplyTech Breakthrough Awards. “For 3PL warehouse owners, executives, and operations leaders looking to improve day-to-day workflows, Extensiv has you covered. We’re happy to recognize them with the ‘3PL Platform of the Year’ award, as they help 3PLs to better meet today’s demand and support tomorrow’s growth.”
Beyond basic warehouse management functions, Extensiv’s 3PL Warehouse Manager offers significant functionality to help growing 3PLs manage their operations better. SmartScan, a web-based mobile scanning application, works with both enterprise and consumer-grade devices to facilitate the real-time sharing and validation of receiving, pick, pack, and shipping data from the warehouse floor to the WMS. Extensiv Labor Analytics, a business intelligence tool, gives 3PLs real-time data and visibility into historical trends, providing actionable insights on individual and team performance and critical cost evaluations. The company’s Small Parcel Suite increases the speed and accuracy of ecommerce fulfillment with functions like automated rate-shopping and high-volume processing.
