WMS for 3PL and logistics service providers

3PL and logistics service providers run warehouses for many clients, each with their own processes, individual billing rules and often several sites. COGLAS WEB WMS bundles this business into a multi-tenant system: storage fees, service billing and VAS (value added services), multi-site and location management, plus client-specific processes from a single interface.
