Streamlining Fulfillment: How We Integrated Multiple 3PLs with NetSuite for Seamless Operations


The complexities of modern supply chains often require businesses to work with multiple third-party logistics (3PL) providers. Managing these relationships and ensuring a smooth flow of information between your 3PLs and your NetSuite ERP can be a daunting challenge. Recently, we helped a client overcome this hurdle, integrating multiple 3PLs with NetSuite for optimized fulfillment operations.


The Challenge: A Disconnected Fulfillment Network

Our client, a rapidly growing e-commerce retailer, was working with several 3PLs to fulfill orders across different regions. However, they were facing significant challenges:


  • Data Silos:  Each 3PL operated independently, with separate systems and data formats, making it difficult to get a holistic view of inventory levels and order status.

  • Manual Processes:  The client relied heavily on manual data entry and reconciliation to keep their NetSuite system up-to-date, leading to errors and delays.

  • Limited Visibility: They lacked real-time visibility into inventory levels and order tracking across their entire fulfillment network.

  • Increased Costs:  The lack of integration was driving up operational costs due to inefficiencies and manual labor.


The Dzare IT Solution: A Unified 3PL Integration

We stepped in to streamline their fulfillment operations by implementing a seamless integration between NetSuite and their multiple 3PLs. Our approach involved:

  1. Comprehensive Assessment:  We thoroughly evaluated their existing 3PL relationships, data flows, and business processes to identify integration opportunities.

  2. Custom Integration Development:  We leveraged Celigo's powerful integration platform to create custom integrations between NetSuite and each of their 3PLs, ensuring seamless data exchange.

  3. Data Mapping and Transformation: We meticulously mapped and transformed data between NetSuite and the 3PL systems, ensuring accuracy and consistency.

  4. Automation:  We automated key processes such as order fulfillment, inventory updates, and shipment tracking, eliminating manual errors and delays.

  5. Ongoing Support:  We provided ongoing support and monitoring to ensure the smooth operation of the integrated systems.


The Result: A Streamlined Fulfillment Network

The benefits of this comprehensive integration were immediately evident:

  • Real-Time Visibility:  Our client gained real-time visibility into inventory levels and order status across all their 3PLs, allowing for better decision-making and improved customer service.

  • Reduced Errors: Automation eliminated manual data entry errors, ensuring accurate inventory counts and order fulfillment.

  • Increased Efficiency: By automating key processes, we freed up their staff to focus on higher-value activities, driving operational efficiency.

  • Cost Savings: The elimination of manual processes and improved inventory management led to significant cost savings.

  • Enhanced Scalability:  The integration allows the client to easily add new 3PLs or expand their existing relationships as their business grows.
