"Now smaller facilities can handle sophisticated customer needs like multi-warehouse reporting and online inventory access without having to spend possibly hundreds of thousands in technology," said John Watkins, president and CEO of 3PL Central. "3PL Warehouse Manager provides the advanced functionality of traditionally deployed WMS solutions through a scalable delivery model that our customers can grow with and afford."

One of 3PL Warehouse Manager's true innovations is ease of setup and use. Due to its on-demand or Software as a Service (SaaS) architecture, the web- based application can be purchased, configured and fully operational within one day. The on-demand software model completely eliminates the need for purchasing expensive computer equipment, lengthy installations or on-going software maintenance fees. The only requirements to use 3PL Warehouse Manager are a computer with an Internet browser, a printer, and Internet access. 3PL Central handles all data security, backups and technology updates so clients are ensured of the highest system reliability.

Some of the key features that 3PL Warehouse Manager's on-demand solution provides are:
