Learn how JASCI's unified platform helps 3PLs eliminate revenue leakage, accelerate client onboarding, and scale profitably in the omni-channel era.
Is Your WMS holding your business back?
Logistics are advancing faster than ever. As an e-commerce business, you're expected to handle both business-to-consumer (B2C) online orders and business-to-business (B2B) wholesale distribution; often from the same warehouse, under tighter deadlines, with perfect accuracy. Yet the biggest obstacle to meeting these demands isn't your team or your strategies... It's your technology.
If you're still running on a legacy warehouse management system, you already know how laborious it can be. There are disconnected workflows, manual workarounds, and missed billing, while handling clients who are expecting Amazon-level service from day one. The good news is that JASCI has a more profitable way for warehouses to operate.
Problem: 3PL Warehouse Management Legacy Systems Can't Keep Up
Most 3PL warehouse management systems were built 10, 20, or even 30 years ago, which was long before omni-channel commerce, autonomous robots, or real-time visibility became the usual. These platforms simply weren't designed for today's operational reality.
What Legacy WMS Gets Wrong:
Siloed Operations
Legacy systems force you to run B2C and B2B as separate operations. That can result in duplicated efforts, inaccurate/inefficient inventory placement, and inconsistent service levels across clients. Every new client becomes a custom configuration project, making it nearly impossible to scale efficiently.
Revenue Leakage
Without automated billing, 3PLs can lose companies 5–15% of revenue due to missed charges, underpriced services, and manual invoice errors. Value-added services like kitting, relabeling, and returns processing often go un-billed entirely.
Slow Client Onboarding
Bringing a new client online can take older systems weeks or months of manual data mapping, custom integrations, and workflow configuration. If you're in a competitive market, that delay costs you business.
Poor Visibility
When your data lives in spreadsheets, separate systems, and disconnected tools, it's impossible to get real-time insights into labor productivity, SLA performance, or cost-to-serve. Decision-making slows down, and problems don't surface until it's too late.
The bottom line: Legacy systems make growth a burden rather than an opportunity.
Solution: A Unified, Intelligent 3PL Warehouse Management Platform
JASCI was built from the ground up to solve these exact challenges. Instead of treating B2C and B2B as separate businesses, JASCI manages them as complementary workflows on one unified platform. The result is faster onboarding, consistent service delivery, and operational efficiency that scales with your growth.
11 Core Technologies Every Modern 3PL Needs
1. Omni-Channel Warehouse Management System (WMS)
JASCI's WMS is the operational heart of your warehouse. It seamlessly handles both B2C each-pick fulfillment and B2B case/pallet distribution without requiring separate systems or manual process switching.
Key benefits:
Single platform for all order types and clients
Real-time visibility into inventory, orders, and labor
Dynamic prioritization based on SLAs and shipping cutoffs
Reduced training time for warehouse associates
2. AI-Powered Client Onboarding
In the past, onboarding has taken weeks or months of engineering work, JASCI's AI-driven onboarding has reduced that to days, or even hours.
What it does:
Automatically maps item data, order structures, and EDI feeds
Provides pre-built templates for retail, DTC, wholesale, and marketplace clients
Accelerates time-to-revenue and reduces implementation costs
Impact: Onboard clients faster, win more business, and reduce the bottleneck that limits your growth.
3. AI Workflow Builder
JASCI's no-code workflow builder lets your operations team design and optimize fulfillment processes without waiting on IT or custom development.
Why it matters:
Configure receiving, picking, packing, QC, and shipping logic in hours, not months
Adapt quickly to client-specific requirements
Eliminate dependency on engineers for routine changes
4. Advanced Shipping & Transportation Management
Shipping can be one of your largest cost centers, so JASCI's technology has turned it into a profit driver.
Features:
Intelligent rate shopping across carriers
Freight consolidation and LTL optimization
Automated label generation and compliance documentation
Contract management and carrier scorecards
The result: Lower shipping costs, faster delivery, and fewer compliance issues.
5. Labor Management System (LMS)
Labor typically accounts for the majority of warehouse operating costs. JASCI's WMS gives you the visibility and tools to optimize every hour.
What you get:
Real-time productivity tracking by worker, client, and task
Engineered labor standards and performance benchmarks
Forecasting tools to align labor with demand
Dashboards for managers and frontline associates
The payoff: Reduce labor waste, improve throughput, and hold your team accountable to measurable goals.
6. Client Portals & Real-Time Analytics
Your clients expect transparency, JASCI delivers it with self-service portals and live dashboards.
Portal features:
Real-time order tracking and inventory visibility
SLA performance scorecards
Cost-to-serve analysis
Historical trends and predictive insights
Why it matters: Happier clients, fewer support tickets, and stronger retention.
7. Automated 3PL Billing & VAS Capture
Revenue leakage is one of the most preventable profit killers in the 3PL business. JASCI's billing engine ensures every service is captured and invoiced correctly.
What gets tracked:
Storage fees (by pallet, bin, or cubic foot)
Pick and pack charges
Returns processing
Kitting, relabeling, and special projects
Carton and pallet counts
Impact: Recover 5–15% in lost revenue and gain full billing transparency with every client.
8. Seamless Integration Technology
Modern 3PLs need to be able to connect with dozens of external systems. JASCI's integration is fast and painless. learn more
Supported integrations:
E-commerce platforms (Shopify, Amazon, Walmart, BigCommerce)
ERPs (NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics)
Carriers and TMS systems
Warehouse automation and robotics
EDI, API, and webhook connections
Why it's critical: Faster onboarding, fewer technical roadblocks, and seamless data flow across the supply chain.
9. Native Warehouse Automation & Robotics Support
Automation isn't just for enterprises anymore. JASCI is built to integrate with the robots and material handling systems that can create modern warehouse efficiency for all companies.
Supported automation:
Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs)
Automated Storage & Retrieval Systems (AS/RS)
Conveyor and sortation systems
Robotic picking and packing solutions
Benefit: Scale throughput without scaling labor costs proportionally.
10. Retail Compliance & BOL Management
B2B retail clients have strict labeling and documentation requirements. Non-compliance leads to chargebacks and damaged relationships, so JASCI automated the entire process.
What JASCI handles:
Retailer-specific pallet and carton labels
Advanced Ship Notices (ASNs)
Bills of Lading (BOLs)
Routing guides and compliance rules
Result: Fewer chargebacks, stronger retailer relationships, and smoother B2B operations.
11. Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) Capabilities
For businesses serving international brands, FTZ functionality is a competitive advantage. JASCI's FTZ module helps clients defer duties, reduce tariffs, and stay compliant.
FTZ features:
Duty deferral and reduction tracking
Bonded inventory management
Customs compliance automation
Lower total landed costs for clients
Why it matters: Position your 3PL as a strategic partner for import-heavy customers.
