PRODUCTS → 3PL MANAGER

Procurement to last-mile, tracked as one chain.

The 3PL Manager Module is for companies that distribute through third-party warehouses, freight forwarders, and customs brokers. It manages consolidation, routes the document chain, mirrors warehouse activity, and monitors delivery SLAs — across partners that each run their own systems.

WHO IT'S FOR

Your product moves through five companies. Your visibility stops at every handoff.

Supplier, consolidator, freight forwarder, customs broker, 3PL warehouse, last-mile carrier — each on its own system, each sending updates by email. You own the outcome to your customer, but none of the data. Customs paperwork gets chased after arrival. Inventory is whatever the last spreadsheet said.

The 3PL Manager doesn't replace any of those partners or their systems. Routina isn't your inventory system of record — it mirrors your 3PL's WMS so agents can act on it, and it works with partners as they are, including when the only integration is a scheduled email. Built on a live import corridor into the Caribbean, packaged as a template for any company using 3PL partners — B2B distribution first, across medical devices, pharma, and general merchandise.

CAPABILITIES

Six things the module handles for you.

Procurement and consolidation

From client PO to supplier PO to consolidation — which shipments travel together, and when — with complete shipment data sent to the freight forwarder.

Document chain routing

Commercial invoices, packing lists, and bills of lading routed between supplier, forwarder, broker, and client — tracked, not forwarded and forgotten.

Customs packet assembly

Validates the customs liquidation report and assembles a single customs packet for the broker before the shipment arrives.

Warehouse mirroring

Inventory mirrored from your 3PL's scheduled WMS updates, several times a day. Your 3PL stays the system of record.

Shrink monitoring

Inventory variance tracked against your contract's shrink threshold, flagged before it becomes a year-end dispute.

Last-mile SLA tracking

Deliveries tracked against zone-based transit SLAs, with at-risk orders flagged before they breach.

IN PRACTICE

One import cycle, start to finish.
