3PL Warehouse & Distribution Solutions
Adapt faster, store smarter, and profit from variability—not suffer because of it
Flexible 3PL Warehouse Designs
We build modular layouts that shift quickly between pallets, cases, and each-picks to help you efficiently meet your customer SLAs. Selective, push-back, and pallet flow balance access and density. Pick modules, conveyors, and scan-verify lift lines per hour and speed the fulfillment process.
We integrate warehouse management systems (WMS) with your current automated equipment to improve inventory visibility, streamline processes, and reduce touches and dock-to-stock time across accounts—core to effective 3PL warehouse management and scalable 3PL services.
AWARD WINNING
SERVICE PROVIDER
3PL Warehouse Consulting and Design
Each 3PL customer you serve brings different inventory, order volume, handling, reporting, service-level agreement, and peak-demand requirements. Warehouse Cubed provides 3PL consulting that turns those requirements into a workable layout and operating plan.
Plan for Each Customer Account
We work with warehouse operators to review:
- SKU, case, and pallet dimensions
- Order volume, lines per order, and product velocity
- Receiving, replenishment, returns, and value-added services
- Inventory growth, seasonal peaks, and order cutoff times
- Dock-to-stock goals, accuracy requirements, SLA commitments, and chargeback risks
This information about your customers helps define receiving, reserve storage, forward picking, packing, staging, shipping, and exception-handling areas.
Balance Storage Density and Pick Speed
High-density racking can increase pallet capacity. More direct-access storage and forward-pick locations can reduce travel and simplify replenishment. We compare rack configurations, pick modules, conveyors, lift-truck requirements, and pedestrian routes against your facility constraints and your customers’ throughput and service commitments.
Give Your Team a Practical Plan
Our deliverables may include:
- Capacity calculations and layout options
- Storage, handling, and equipment recommendations
- Operating-flow and account-separation plans
- Implementation phases and onboarding priorities
We give your team a practical plan for protecting margins and adapting as your customer mix and warehousing services change.
Integrate Your 3PL Warehouse Management System
Connections among the warehouse management system (WMS), enterprise resource planning (ERP), automation, and handling equipment give your 3PL team and customers timely inventory and order information. Warehouse Cubed reviews required data exchanges, customer-facing reports, workflows, and equipment interfaces before defining the scope.
Our WMS evaluation and implementation services help define customer-specific receiving, putaway, replenishment, picking, packing, shipping, returns, billing, and exception rules. We also consider scan-validation points, permissions, and reporting requirements.
The resulting configuration supports consistent data capture across customer accounts and helps your team monitor dock-to-stock time, order status, inventory accuracy, SLA performance, and chargeback risks. We coordinate WMS work with layouts, automation, and operating procedures so the technology reflects how your 3PL warehouse serves each customer.
Peak Season Readiness for 3PLs
Warehouse Cubed helps your 3PL team review capacity and constraints before busy periods, promotions, or customer accounts launch.
- Flex storage and staging capacity: We confirm reserve locations, forward-pick quantities, replenishment triggers, overflow areas, and dock staging. We also assign temporary capacity locations and inventory controls.
- Plan temporary-labor flow paths: We map receiving, picking, packing, replenishment, and exception routes for seasonal employees. Training, scan prompts, and separation between pedestrians and lift trucks support higher-volume shifts.
- Inspect storage and equipment: We can coordinate a pallet rack inspection before storage demand rises. The review can also cover conveyors, lift equipment, docks, scanners, and charging areas.
- Test systems and contingencies: We help validate customer-specific order rules, inventory feeds, shipping cutoffs, labels, reports, and escalation contacts. We document priorities for labor, equipment, dock-space, or system constraints.
Our 3PL consultants can compare forecasts with volume, labor hours, dock-to-stock time, SLA exceptions, and chargebacks. We use the findings to recommend layout, racking, automation, staffing, and WMS improvements.
A Partner for Margin Protection
Margins depend on throughput, accuracy, and labor. Warehouse Cubed helps 3PLs protect all three with right-sized automation—AS/RS, conveyor, and smart warehouse systems—mapped to your SKU profiles and service commitments.
Our consultative team aligns layout, equipment, and software so you move more volume with fewer touches, stabilize labor costs, and grow key accounts without eroding profit.
