TPW 3PL Automation

Seamlessly integrates Acumatica ERP with Warehouse Management Software (WMS) used by third-party logistics/fulfillment companies that warehouse inventory, ship outbound sales orders and receipt inbound purchase orders.

ASC’s 3PL Warehouse Management Software Integration module (TPW) comprehensively interfaces Acumatica ERP to warehouse management software packages. Many distribution companies use third party fulfillment companies, and this module allows Acumatica to interact with the 3PL as if it were an internal warehouse. On the sell-side TPW confirm ship method/carrier, updates tracking information, maintains inventory count and accounting. Sophisticated web services direct orders to the correct warehouse where multiple 3PL’s and corresponding WMS’s are involved. On the buy-side inventory is receipted and item quantities confirmed. TPW eliminates the need for generic integration middleware (e.g. Celigo & Jitterbit), is half the cost and easier to maintain because it is 100% written within the Acumatica framework (provides all its workflow, monitoring, tracking, and dashboard advantages).

Protocol Independent – Supports RESTful, SOAP, WSDL, EDI, XMLRPC, or any new communication technologies.

Receiving – Supports inbound purchase orders (order to cash/order to ship/procure to receipt)
