Native 3PL Billing for Every Chargeable Activity

Most distribution WMSs treat invoicing as an afterthought, so revenue slips through the cracks. We implement Infios e3PL, the multi-client WMS with an integral 3PL billing engine, so every service you perform is captured, rated, and invoiced, and new clients reach revenue fast.

  • Activity billing
  • Multi-client
  • Rate cards
  • Client portal

Higher billing accuracy and stronger revenue capture across every chargeable activity

Faster onboarding for a logistics and warehousing operator bringing on new accounts

More defensible margins on shared labor, space, and equipment

How it works

How e3PL Turns Activity Into Revenue

Every task on the floor carries an owner and a rate, so the invoice builds itself as work happens.

  1. Client Onboarding

    Rate cards, ownership rules, and workflows are configured per client through the rules engine.

  2. Owned Receipt

    Inbound stock is received against its owner, and the receipt is rated as a chargeable event.

  3. Storage Accrual

    Storage, space, and handling accrue against each client's rate card as inventory sits and moves.

  4. Chargeable Execution

    Picks, packs, kitting, catch weights, and value-added work post to billing as they happen.

  5. Invoice Run

    The billing engine rates the period, produces client invoices, and exposes detail through the portal.

The challenge

Where 3PL Margins Quietly Leak Away

In a third-party operation, the gap between work performed and revenue captured is exactly where profit disappears:

Chargeable handling, storage, and value-added work that never makes it onto an invoice

Shared labor, dock, and rack space that erode margin because no client is billed for their true cost to serve

New client onboarding that drags on for weeks while rate cards and workflows are hand-built

Per-client SLAs and rate structures that spreadsheets and bolt-on tools cannot keep straight

Invoicing bolted onto a distribution WMS after the fact, forcing manual reconciliation at the end of every billing cycle

The result is revenue leakage, thin margins on shared resources, and slow time to revenue on every new account you win.

Capabilities

What We Implement

We configure and implement Infios e3PL as a true multi-tenant WMS, with 3PL billing built into the core rather than added on the side, so operations and revenue capture run from the same system.

Integral 3PL Billing Engine

We configure the billing engine that automatically invoices every chargeable activity, from receipts and storage to picks, packs, and value-added work, using per-client rate structures. Billing is native to the WMS, so nothing chargeable goes uncaptured.

Ownership-Based Inventory and Multi-Tenancy

We set up inventory tracked by owner so every unit, lot, and location is attributed to the right client. e3PL runs multi-client and multi-warehouse from a single database, giving you one source of truth across the whole operation.

Rules-Engine Configuration and Low-Code Onboarding

We use the rules engine to configure each client's workflows, rate cards, and SLAs without custom code. That same low-code model lets you stand up a new client quickly instead of rebuilding the system for every account.

EDI, Document Exchange, and Client ERP Integration

We connect e3PL to your clients' ERPs and trading partners through EDI and document exchange, so orders, ASNs, and inventory status flow both ways. Each client integrates on their own terms without fragmenting your operation.

Kitting, Value-Added Services, and Catch Weights

We configure kitting, assembly, and value-added services as chargeable, rated activities, including catch-weight handling for variable-weight goods. The work you do beyond storing and shipping becomes revenue you can invoice.

RF, Voice, Robotics, and the Client Web Portal

We integrate RF, voice, and robotics-directed workflows into the WMS on the floor and deploy the web client portal for self-service visibility. Automated SLA tracking measures performance against each client's commitments without manual policing.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

  • In most distribution WMSs, billing is a separate module or an external tool that has to be reconciled against what actually happened on the floor, which is where charges get missed. In e3PL the billing engine is integral to the WMS, so every chargeable activity is captured and rated as it occurs. That closes the gap between work performed and revenue invoiced, which is the single biggest source of leakage for 3PLs.

  • Yes. e3PL is built for per-client rate structures, so each client can have its own rates for receiving, storage, handling, picks, packs, and value-added services. It also supports catch weights for variable-weight products, so goods priced by actual weight are captured and billed correctly. Rate cards are configured through the rules engine, not custom code, so they are quick to set up and adjust.

  • e3PL runs multiple clients and multiple warehouses from a single database while tracking inventory by ownership, so each client's stock, orders, and activity are attributed to them alone. You get one source of truth and one system to operate, without standing up a separate instance per client. Client visibility is controlled through the web portal and permissions, so tenants see only their own inventory and reporting.

  • Because e3PL uses a rules-engine, low-code model, new clients are configured rather than custom-built, so adding a client onto a live system is a configuration exercise rather than a development project. Effort is driven by the rate cards, EDI connections, and value-added services involved. We scope the plan against your specific billing rules and warehouse footprint before committing to anything.

  • Yes. We connect e3PL to your clients' ERPs and trading partners through EDI and document exchange, so orders, ASNs, inventory, and status updates flow in both directions. Each client can integrate on its own terms without forcing a single standard across your whole book of business. Clean, well-tested integration is one of the biggest factors in a smooth go-live, so we design and validate it carefully.

  • e3PL comes out of a long WMS lineage that ran from HighJump to Korber Supply Chain Software and is now Infios. Everest is a certified Infios implementation partner with 50+ certified Infios associates and has been part of 300+ WMS go-lives since 1997, including deep work across this product family. That history matters on a 3PL platform, where billing behavior and multi-tenant configuration reward an experienced team.

  • Choose e3PL when you operate as a third-party logistics provider and need multi-client warehousing with billing built in; that is what it is purpose-built for. Warehouse Advantage fits enterprise distribution operations and Warehouse Edge suits mid-market warehouses, but neither centers on multi-client 3PL billing the way e3PL does. OMS handles order management across channels and complements a WMS rather than replacing it. As an Infios, Manhattan, and Made4Net partner, we help you confirm the right fit before you commit.

Turn Every Chargeable Activity Into Revenue

Whether you are replacing a distribution WMS with bolt-on invoicing or launching a new 3PL operation, we help you run multi-client warehousing and billing from one system, so nothing chargeable goes uncaptured and new clients go live fast.
