3PL + ERP Integration

Your 3PL and ERP Should Talk In Real Time

When your 3PL warehouse and ERP system are disconnected, you get phantom inventory, late shipments, and customer service nightmares. We build integrations that keep both systems perfectly in sync β€” so what your ERP shows is what your warehouse actually has.

What We Offer

Complete 3PL-ERP Integration β€” From Receiving Dock to Customer Doorstep

Not just a data sync. We build intelligent logistics pipelines that keep your ERP, warehouse, and customers aligned in real time.

01
πŸ“Š

Real-Time Inventory Synchronization

Bi-directional inventory sync between your ERP and 3PL WMS β€” including lot tracking, serial numbers, expiration dates, and multi-location quantities updated every 5 minutes or on-demand.

02
🚚

Automated Order Routing

Orders from your ERP are automatically routed to the optimal 3PL warehouse based on inventory availability, shipping zone, carrier rates, and delivery SLAs β€” no manual allocation needed.

03
πŸ“

Shipment Tracking & Delivery Updates

Carrier tracking numbers, shipment status, and proof of delivery flow back into your ERP automatically β€” updating sales orders, triggering invoicing, and feeding customer notification systems.

04
πŸ”„

Returns & RMA Processing

When a 3PL receives a return, your ERP knows immediately β€” creating credit memos, updating inventory, triggering quality inspection workflows, and closing the loop with the customer.

05
πŸ“‹

Receiving & Putaway Integration

Inbound purchase orders sync to your 3PL for receiving. When goods are checked in, quantities, lot numbers, and storage locations flow back to your ERP for accurate inventory and AP matching.

06
πŸ’°

Billing & Cost Reconciliation

3PL storage fees, pick-and-pack charges, and shipping costs are automatically matched against your ERP's expected costs β€” flagging discrepancies before you pay the invoice.

πŸ“¦ Logistics Intelligence

A 3PL integration isn't just plumbing β€” it's the nervous system of your supply chain.

We've connected brands to 3PL providers across the US, Europe, and Asia. Whether you're running one warehouse or seven, the integration has to be fast, accurate, and smart enough to handle exceptions without human intervention.

About This Service

3PL Integration That Scales With You

At OpenMalo, 3PL integrations are built on three principles: real-time accuracy, intelligent exception handling, and operational visibility.

βœ“
Multi-Warehouse Ready
Our integrations handle multi-3PL setups with intelligent routing, consolidated inventory views, and warehouse-specific workflows from day one.
βœ“
Exception-First Design
We design for what goes wrong β€” short ships, damaged goods, carrier delays β€” with automated workflows that resolve issues instead of hiding them.
βœ“
Brand & D2C Expertise
We've built 3PL integrations for brands doing $5M to $200M in revenue, with specific experience in subscription boxes, flash sales, and seasonal spikes.
Why OpenMalo

Why Brands Choose OpenMalo for 3PL-ERP Integration

We've connected complex multi-warehouse operations to every major ERP β€” and we know the logistics edge cases that break generic integrations.

🏭
Multi-3PL Experience
We've integrated with ShipBob, ShipMonk, Rakuten Super Logistics, Red Stag, and dozens of regional 3PLs β€” we know their APIs, limitations, and quirks.
⚑
Real-Time, Not Batch
Most 3PL integrations sync once a day. Ours sync continuously β€” so your inventory counts, order status, and shipping data are always current.
πŸ”’
Built for Peak Season
We load-test integrations for Black Friday volumes before they happen. No surprises when order volume 5x's overnight.
πŸ“
ERP-Native Architecture
We build at the ERP API level with proper error handling, retry logic, and idempotent transactions β€” not fragile file-based imports.
🀝
We Manage the 3PL Relationship
API documentation gaps, test environment issues, production bugs β€” we handle the technical coordination with your 3PL so you don't have to.
πŸ“ˆ
Visible ROI
We track inventory accuracy, order processing time, and fulfillment cost per order from go-live β€” so you can measure the integration's impact directly.

Client Stories

What Our Clients Say

β€œWe were spending 20 hours a week manually syncing inventory between our ERP and two 3PL warehouses. OpenMalo built a real-time integration in 5 weeks. Now our inventory is accurate within 15 minutes and we've eliminated overselling completely.

JP
Jason Park
COO, Velocity Commerce

β€œOur 3PL integration used to break every Black Friday. OpenMalo rebuilt it with proper queuing and retry logic, and last year we processed 40K orders in 48 hours without a single sync failure. That's never happened before.

AT
Amanda Torres
Director of Operations, PeakForm Athletics

β€œThe best part isn't the automation β€” it's the visibility. I can see exactly where every order is, what's in every warehouse, and what's about to run out, all from our ERP dashboard. We used to guess at half of that.

3PL-ERP Integration at Velocity Commerce

How we connected a fast-growing D2C brand's ERP to three 3PL warehouses β€” eliminating overselling, cutting fulfillment costs by 38%, and enabling same-day shipping for 85% of orders.

The Challenge

Disconnected warehouses causing overselling and delayed shipments

Velocity Commerce was growing 3x year-over-year but their ERP had no real-time connection to their three 3PL warehouses. Inventory was synced via daily spreadsheets, orders were routed manually, and overselling during promotions was costing them $25K a month in refunds.

Daily CSV-based inventory sync β€” always 12–24 hours stale
Manual order routing across 3 warehouses via email
$25K monthly in overselling refunds during promotions
No shipment tracking in ERP β€” customer service flying blind

Our Approach: 2-week logistics audit, phased integration over 5 weeks covering inventory sync, intelligent order routing, shipment tracking, and returns β€” with peak-season load testing and real-time monitoring dashboards.
