ISIS 3pl is a warehouse management system that has been specifically designed to support the needs of third party logistics providers. ISIS 3pl enables operators to manage multiple warehouses using the one system.

As supply chain visibility becomes increasingly important for marketplace success, ISIS 3pl will enable you to view important details about your client's warehousing status across all locations. Check stock levels for particular items, view movements throughout the day and assess productivity levels for all locations from the one terminal.

Recognising the need for third party logistics providers to manage their operation with complete flexibility, ISIS 3pl allows you to have full control of different clients in the one site, or across many sites. This translates to better space utilisation and flexibility in warehouse layout, as well as allowing your clients to alter their warehousing requirements without impacting other areas of the operation.

ISIS 3pl has also been designed to handle discrete operating requirements for specific products or product classes. This not only allows clients to have different operating environments, but allows them to alter instructions based on seasonality factors, expiration dates, product launches etc.

Competition amongst third party logistics providers is becoming more and more intense. Whilst the need to attract new clients is always a priority, access to detailed information regarding current operating costs is equally important for both operator and client. ISIS 3pl allows you to get a precise breakdown of warehousing costs, by client, to better manager your existing client base.

This information can be accessed at any time, for any client, and covers all tasks controlled by ISIS 3pl such as receiving, picking and loading. Charges relating to this information can be calculated at any packaging level, but is typically broken down by pallet or by carton. Charges can also vary based on the time of day the service was carried out (i.e. charging a premium for out-of-hours picking)

Extending beyond individual client billing is information regarding the specific cost of all activities within the warehouse, including those outside the control of ISIS 3pl. By analyzing this data (such as container stuffing and destuffing, fixed storage costs, re-packs, promotional work etc) in conjunction with the data collected by ISIS 3pl, operators can identify distinct cost drivers and facilitate the following:

• Identification of actual P & L costs at the lowest level of activity
• Benchmark performance across multiple sites
• Accurate pricing for client operating requirements

	A common issue for third party logistics providers is that new clients will have different operating requirements to your existing clients. ISIS 3pl enables you to quickly and easily cater to these needs, without having to rewrite software, replace systems or introduce manual workarounds.
	With Activity Based Costing and Individual Client Billing, ISIS 3pl enables third party logistics providers to offer their clients a range of value adding services. These services can effectively differentiate your company's offering from competitors.
	Through the use of the ISIS 3pl Audit Trail, all warehouse activities for all clients can not only be captured and reported on, but a time/dollar cost can be attributed to each. This ensures all revenue streams in the warehouse are monitored and clients are billed accordingly.
