Transform Your Logistics Business with Our 3PL Logistics Software
In today’s competitive transport, warehousing, and logistics landscape, leveraging technology tailored to your specific operational needs isn’t just beneficial – it’s crucial.
3PL Warehouse Management Software developed by Infocomm is engineered to not only keep you up to speed, but give you the competitive edge, ensuring your operations are efficient, your systems are integrated, and your business, is primed for adaptation and continued growth.
What is 3PL Management Software?
Third-Party Logistics Software , otherwise referred to as ‘3PL’ Management Software, is a specialised system designed to streamline and optimise the running of specific logistics and supply chain management companies. These companies handle storage, transportation, and distribution of goods for other businesses, with this type of software serving as the tech backbone, offering advanced tools for tasks including, but not limited to, inventory management, order fulfilment, warehouse operations and shipping coordination.
By facilitating real-time data exchange, enhancing visibility across the entire supply chain, and automating complex processes, 3PL Management Software empowers 3PL providers to deliver more efficient, accurate and reliable services, amongst other transformational benefits. If you’re a 3PL Logistics provider looking to exceed customer expectations and maintain your competitive position in the industry, 3PL Management Software is a must have.
The Problem With ‘Off The Shelf’ 3PL Logistics Software
The market is flooded with generic 3PL solutions promising all the functionality your business will ever need. The reality is, anything that is one-size-fits-all often misses the mark, particularly if your business has a unique logistics model, diverse inventory types, or varying operational scales.
Some of the major drawbacks of generic solutions include:
Limited flexibility:
When software struggles to adapt to specific logistic requirements, it can lead to operational inefficiencies, which can result in wasted resources across the board. Generic software is known to be relatively quick to implement, but limited in what it can do, because it’s trying to serve everyone.
Poor integration:
Generic options often don’t seamlessly connect with existing systems in your business or with those of your clients and other stakeholders. This can create inefficiencies including wasted resources, communication gaps, and data silos, adding unnecessary stress and delays.
Inadequate scalability:
If your software isn’t designed to grow with your business or accommodate changes in market demands, your business development can be delayed and more spend required to upgrade to a sustainable option.
These issues highlight the need for a solution which goes beyond the basics and delivers to the specific requirements of your industry and business.
The Benefits of Customised 3PL Software
By investing in bespoke 3PL Warehouse Management Software, you’re actively choosing the path of innovation, efficiency, and long term growth support for your business. Here are some of the key benefits:
Tailored solutions:
Infocomm’s software options are backed by more than 30 years of logistics software experience, allowing us to meet the specific needs of every customer we work with, ensuring optimal operation of your business, no matter the scale.
Seamless integration:
Our systems integrate seamlessly with your existing ERP, TMS, and other internal tech systems, to provide you with a coordinated and cohesive framework. That being said, we also offer customised Transport Management Software, Wholesale Distribution System, and Manufacturing Management Software.
Advanced automation:
From automated inventory management to streamlined shipping processes, our software reduces manual tasks and errors and gives your teams more time to focus on other aspects of the business.
Real-time visibility:
Customised 3PL Software will empower you with insights into every function of your business operation, on the spot. This information can drastically improve decision making across the business and with external stakeholders and boost your customer’s satisfaction with your services.
Operational scalability:
We guarantee that our software systems will evolve with your business so you can easily accommodate general growth, expansion into new markets, diversification of your inventory, and meet increasing client and customer demands.
What Could Happen If You Don’t Use Customised 3PL Software?
If you’re in any way involved in the running of a third party logistics company, you will know that the industry waits for no one. You would have likely noticed improvements to processes if you integrated a generic 3PL software option and might feel that this decision and action was enough. The reality is, if you delay on upgrading your systems to truly match your business needs, as is possible with a customised solution, you’re going to miss out on many gains in your business.
As we’ve highlighted, these include productivity, efficiencies, and accuracy, and your business will inevitably struggle to meet the high expectations of consumers. This is particularly problematic for your business bottom line if your competition is using customised 3PL software and is able to meet their demands more successfully.
By investing in customised 3PL Warehouse Management software, you’re not just upgrading your tech – you’re revolutionising your entire operation.

Frequently Asked Questions About 3PL Management Software
1. How quickly can customised 3PL Management Software systems be integrated?
The size of your existing operation and the number of programs and systems you are already running that need to be integrated are all considerations when it comes to how quickly your customised solutions can be up and running. In some instances, we have our software installed and up and running with a few weeks. The best starting point is to discuss your requirements with a member of our team.
2. We just installed off the shelf 3PL software. Did we waste our time and money?
Chances are, if you’ve gone from old systems that were slowing you down, you’ll be noticing improvements with your off-the-shelf software – this doesn’t mean it’s the best solution for your business. If you want to advance your business growth and processes to stay ahead of the competition, upgrading to a customised solution is absolutely the way to go. Instead of seeing the generic software as a waste, you could view it as a stepping stone in your business journey. Infocomm’s solutions will grow with you, so you don’t need to upgrade again down the track.
3. How does 3PL Management Software improve logistics operations?
It enhances your operations by automating processes, improving inventory accuracy, offering real-time visibility into the supply chain, and facilitating better communication between all parties involved at every stage. This leads to increased efficiency, reduced errors, cost savings, and happier staff and customers.
4. Can Infocomm’s software integrate with other systems?
Absolutely. Our solutions are designed to seamlessly integrate with your existing ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), TMS (Transport Management Systems), and customer order management systems, ensuring optimal operational flow without reinventing your entire set up and rendering systems redundant.
5. Are we best to have one fully integrated system from one vendor?
While having multiple systems interconnecting from different software vendors can work it does introduce lots of issues when things go wrong and none of your software vendors are able to easily work out where the problem is coming from. This leaves you the customer in the middle trying to negotiate between your vendors as to where the problem lies. Having one fully integrated solution from one software vendor will always simplify things as there will only be one vendor to deal with and they can own the problem outright.
6. Is Infocomm’s 3PL Management Software suitable for businesses of all sizes?
It certainly is. Our software solutions will be tailored to cater to your business needs and are entirely scalable for when your business grows, to whichever size.
7. Will we have to train our entire workforce on how to use this system? That feels like a big job to consider, which could slow down our daily business.
We have a team of trainers that work with your team to ensure your experts know the system back to front while also providing hands-on training to the rest of your workforce directly. With the software being very intuitive and simple to use your team members will pick up the software very quickly and easily.
8. I’ve bought a generic logistics software system. How do I know if it’s not meeting our needs?
If you have to do lots of manual processes to overcome shortcomings of the system or if it takes a lot of time for staff to process certain functions for your business then this is a good sign that you need a purpose built Logistics Software solution.
