Cloud WMS & ERP for 3PL & Freight Distribution
Automate multi-client volumetric rate cards, track RF gun bin putaway across multi-tier warehouses, and eliminate unbilled demurrage with real-time fleet telematics and mobile ePODs.
What is Included in the 3PL Logistics Suite
Engineered for third-party logistics providers, multi-depot distribution networks, and freight consolidation hubs.
Smart 3D Pallet Placement
Make the most of your warehouse height and rack space by automatically matching item sizes to open shelf spots.
Multi-Client Rate Engine
Auto-calculates monthly storage charges by occupied CBM, pallet footprint, inward/outward handling, and cross-docking.
Fast Batch Order Picking
Guide warehouse workers on the shortest walking path to pick multiple orders at once using handheld barcode scanners.
Geotagged Mobile ePOD
Drivers capture receiver digital signatures, timestamped GPS photos, and damaged carton notes upon delivery.
FASTag & GPS Telematics
Live vehicle GPS integration, automated toll expense synchronization, and trip turnaround monitoring.
Automatic Delay Penalty Billing
Tracks when trucks or containers wait too long at loading docks and bills delay fees automatically.
Multi-Client Pallet Storage & Demurrage Billing Simulator
Calculate how much billable revenue your warehouse loses each year through uncaptured pallet storage days, unbilled detention, and manual freight invoicing.
Why Standalone WMS & Tally Fail in 3PL Distribution
See how Arihant AI bridges the gap between isolated warehouse management systems and detached accounting software.
| Capability / 3PL Reality | Arihant AI 3PL Cloud ERP | Standalone WMS Software | Tally Prime / Busy | Excel Spreadsheets |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Multi-Client Variable Rate Cards & Auto-Billing |
Automated 1-Click Billing
Calculates daily pallet storage, in/out handling charges, kitting labor, and detention with zero manual entry.
|
WMS Only
Tracks quantities but cannot generate GST invoices or tax ledgers natively.
|
Manual Entry
Accountants manually retype billing numbers from warehouse spreadsheets.
|
High Revenue Leakage
Demurrage days and overtime labor frequently forgotten during invoicing.
|
| 3D Volumetric RF Gun Bin Slotting & Putaway |
Algorithmic Directed Slotting
Directs forklift operators to optimal racking coordinates based on pallet weight, height, and velocity class (ABC).
|
Supported
Requires expensive per-handheld licensing and complex middleware sync.
|
Zero Bin Logic
Knows total warehouse quantity, but has zero awareness of rack or bin locations.
|
Static Grid
Prone to operator memory; forklifts waste 20 mins locating lost pallets.
|
| Driver Mobile ePOD with Geofenced Signatures |
Instant Digital Proof
Drivers capture consignee digital signature, GPS coordinates, and damaged carton photos instantly on smartphone.
|
Extra Add-On
Requires separate telematics/ePOD vendor subscription.
|
Paper LR Only
Physical lorry receipts mailed back weeks later, delaying payment settlement.
|
Disconnected
Zero real-time delivery confirmation; high customer dispute rate.
|
| B2B Enterprise Client Self-Service Portal |
Dedicated Web Portal
Clients log in 24/7 to place ASNs, view real-time stock balances, download proof-of-delivery, and check invoices.
|
Basic Portal
Shows stock status, but lacks integrated financial ledgers and billing statements.
|
Not Supported
Requires customer service reps to email daily stock sheets manually.
|
High Support Overhead
Clients call multiple times a day asking "Where is my shipment?".
|
| Unified GST e-Way Bill & Multi-Carrier Manifests |
Direct NIC API Hookup
Generates Part-A and Part-B e-Way bills automatically upon dispatch confirmation with automated transporter mapping.
|
Third-Party API
Requires paid third-party connector tools like Cleartax.
|
Basic e-Way Only
Lacks multi-carrier freight booking and automated shipping label printing.
|
Double Entry
Staff manually types lorry numbers on government website.
|
5-Stage Multi-Client 3PL Workflow
From Advance Shipping Notice (ASN) docking to RF gun putaway, wave picking, FASTag tracking, and electronic POD.
ASN Inward & Dock Check
Advance shipping notice validates inbound trailer. Pallet barcodes scanned at receiving bay dock door.
Directed RF Putaway
WMS algorithm directs reach trucks to optimum 3D bin coordinates based on velocity and weight.
Wave & Zone Picking
Orders aggregated into picking waves. Pickers follow optimized walking paths via handheld RF terminals.
Manifest & GPS Dispatch
Vehicle manifest auto-generates e-Way bill. Driver mobile app syncs with GPS telematics and FASTag.
Mobile ePOD & Billing
Recipient signs on driver glass. Time-stamped GPS photo closes trip and triggers client freight invoice.
Shop-Floor Hardware & Warehouse IoT Pipeline
Arihant AI connects rugged handheld terminals, gate weighbridges, and driver mobile devices into a synchronized real-time logistics engine.
Executive Controls & Daily WMS Telemetry
Gain complete inventory accuracy and automate complex client billing across multiple warehouses from a single dashboard.
