Software for 3PL logistics: inventory control, mobile PDA terminals, and service billing
Managing third-party 3PL logistics demands absolute depositor inventory segregation, physical travel-time reduction in warehouse aisles, and an automated metered billing engine that records every billable event for dispute-free invoicing.
Stock isolation and unique LPN license plate tracking
Every handling unit (euro-pallet, half-pallet, or master carton) is tracked with a unique License Plate Number (LPN) tied strictly to the depositor account. Warehouse operators cannot put away, transfer, or pick stock without prior barcode or 2D code scan verification.
Wave picking and cluster carts to eliminate transit steps and idle time
The order allocation engine groups orders with matching profiles and guides pickers along the shortest warehouse path using compartmentalized cluster carts. This maximizes picks per hour without increasing headcount during peak seasons.
Metered billing per pallet/day, handling activities, and shipments
Eliminate manual delivery note audits and spreadsheet storage math. MiLogistica computes pallet storage days, pick lines executed, container devanning, and carrier fuel surcharges in real time, automatically outputting a fully reconciled billing draft at month-end.
Self-service web portal for merchant depositors
Provide clients with an branded web portal to monitor stock levels, check SKU turnover, submit Advanced Shipping Notices (ASN), and download delivery receipts and PODs without contacting your office staff.
