Someone else's stock, your warehouse, your accountability.
A 3PL or warehousing operator carries a harder problem than a normal warehouse: every pallet belongs to a client, every movement has to be billed, and every client wants their own view of what's on your shelves. Yukti tracks ownership, movement, and billing together instead of bolting a spreadsheet onto a generic warehouse system.
The Real Workflows Behind Warehousing & 3PL Logistics ERP
Real-time stock across every warehouse location
Yukti gives a real-time view of stock across every warehouse location, with inter-warehouse transfers tracked end to end. Advanced routing configures receiving, put-away, and shipping sequences, and wave picking batches orders through the same floor without mixing up what belongs to which client.
Storage bins reserved per client
Storage locations and bins can be defined and reserved per client, so a pallet belonging to one client sits in a zone the system will never assign to a different client's pick list, even when both stock SKUs that look identical on the shelf.
Quality checks at inbound and outbound both
Quality checkpoints at receiving catch a shortage or damaged case against the purchase order or the client's advance shipping notice before put-away. The same checkpoint runs in reverse at outbound, checking a load against the pick list before it leaves the dock.
Dispatch built around multiple clients on one route
Field service scheduling assigns drivers and vehicles based on location, capacity, and real-time availability, with route optimization minimizing travel time across multi-stop runs that often carry deliveries for several different clients in the same day.
Recurring billing generated from movement data
Most 3PL pricing is a hybrid model: a recurring storage charge plus a per-movement handling charge for each receipt, pick, and shipment. Because that activity is the same data the warehouse already records for stock movement, invoicing a dozen clients on a dozen fee structures doesn't mean a dozen manual calculations.
How the Pieces Connect
The same movement updates stock and generates the invoice
When a pallet gets received, put away, picked, or shipped, that movement updates the client's stock record and becomes the invoice line item at the same time. Nobody reconstructs a client's activity from a separate log at month-end, because the operational record and the billing record are the same record.
Quality findings tied to a specific client and shipment
When an inbound inspection flags a shortage or damage, that finding is logged against the specific client's inventory and shipment, not absorbed into a generic warehouse-wide exception report. A client asking why their stock looks short gets a specific answer.
Dispatch reflects what's actually ready to ship
Dispatch scheduling reads from the same stock and quality data, so a delivery only lands on a route once the order has been picked, checked, and confirmed ready, not a plan that assumes everything on the pick list will be ready by the time the driver shows up.
AI that dispatches drivers the way a good ops manager would
Yukti's dispatch optimization agent matches the right driver and vehicle to each pickup or delivery based on location, capacity, and real-time availability.
Continuously re-optimizes the day's schedule as new orders come in
Adjusts when a delivery window slips
Avoids locking in a route at 6 a.m. and hoping nothing changes
Rebalances driver assignments across clients sharing the same dock and fleet
See What This Could Save Your Team
Inventory carrying cost reduction
You could save ~$667/month
McKinsey: AI-driven demand forecasting reduces forecast errors by 30-50%, driving inventory reductions industry-reported in the 10-30% range; APICS places carrying cost at 15-25% of inventory value annually, APQC Open Standards Benchmarking shows a 10% median. Base case modeled at 20% carrying cost reduction.
Receiving, quality check, and putaway
You could save ~9.0 hours/month
Based on documented ERP implementation efficiency benchmarks: receiving, quality checks, and labelling on inbound stock typically see a 20% efficiency gain when the workflow is digitized instead of paper-based.
Picking, packing, and delivery
You could save ~24.0 hours/month
Based on documented ERP implementation efficiency benchmarks: picking, packing, and delivery preparation typically see a 40% efficiency gain when pick lists, batch picking, and delivery routing are system-guided instead of manual.
Cycle counting and stock adjustments
You could save ~2.0 hours/month
Based on documented ERP implementation efficiency benchmarks: periodic stock audits and adjustments typically see a 10% efficiency gain when counts are recorded directly against live stock records instead of reconciled afterward.
Multi-location stock visibility
You could save ~1.5 hours/month
Real-time stock visibility across every warehouse replaces calling or emailing other locations to check what is actually on hand before a transfer.
Barcode scanning for receiving and shipping
You could save ~6.7 hours/month
Barcode and QR scanning at receiving, picking, and shipping replace manually looking up and typing in each item.
Smart replenishment and automatic reordering
You could save ~4.0 hours/month
AI-powered demand forecasting that triggers reorders automatically replaces manually reviewing stock levels SKU by SKU to decide what to reorder.
Total: ~47.2 hours/month, ~$1,818/month
Common Questions
How do you keep two different clients' inventory separate on the same warehouse floor?
Storage locations and bins can be defined and reserved per client, so a pick list for one client's order will only ever pull from zones assigned to that client, even if a competing client's SKU looks identical sitting on a nearby shelf. Stock counts, movement history, and valuation stay separated by client the same way they would if each client had their own warehouse.
Can we bill each client based on actual storage and handling activity instead of one flat monthly rate?
Yes. Recurring billing supports the hybrid model most 3PLs actually run on: a recurring storage charge, whether that's per pallet, per square foot, or per bin, plus a per-movement handling charge for each receipt, pick, and shipment. Because that activity is the same data the warehouse records for stock movement, the invoice reflects what actually happened on the floor instead of an estimate.
What happens when an inbound shipment doesn't match the purchase order, or arrives damaged?
Quality checkpoints at receiving check the shipment against the purchase order or the client's advance shipping notice before it gets put away, so a shortage or damaged case gets logged and flagged at that point, tied to the specific client and shipment, instead of surfacing later as an unexplained stock discrepancy.
How does dispatch work when we're running several clients' deliveries out of the same dock and fleet in one day?
Field service scheduling assigns drivers and vehicles based on location, capacity, and real-time availability, with route optimization building multi-stop routes that can mix deliveries for different clients on the same run. Orders only land on a route once they've been picked and confirmed ready, so a schedule built in the morning reflects what's actually going to be on the truck.
Can we run cycle counts without shutting the warehouse down for a full physical inventory?
Yes. Cycle counting checks a rotating subset of locations on a schedule, so stock accuracy stays high without stopping receiving, picking, or shipping to do a full count.
Where a Simpler Tool Might Be Right
A business storing its own stock in a single warehouse with no client billing to manage doesn't need per-client cost allocation or dispatch optimization. A standard inventory and shipping tool covers that simpler case well. This page is for 3PL operators and warehousing businesses managing multiple clients' stock, multiple warehouses, or an active delivery fleet.
