3PL software, built by a 3PL
Your WMS was built for someone else's warehouse.
Quote the account, run the floor, prove the quality. Three products for a regional 3PL that ships B2B, DTC and everything in between, for many clients at once. Buy one, or take all three.
Licensed on your own infrastructure, or Full SaaS hosted by us. Every buyer gets a live walkthrough first.
Per-client isolation enforced in the database with row-level security
Encrypted in transit and at rest; integration credentials encrypted again by the application
Hosted in US regions on Railway, Neon and Netlify, or on your own infrastructure under a licence
Your data is yours. Export any time through reports, CSV and the API
99.9% monthly availability target under Full SaaS
Pick one or take all three
Each product does one job. Together they cover a client from quote to audit.
A 3PL wins an account, does the work, and has to prove it was done right. Most software covers the middle. These three cover all of it, and each stands on its own.
RateFlow
Quote the account, freeze the rates, check the invoices.
Rate it ›ShipFlow
Run the warehouse: receive, store, pick, pack, ship, bill.
Ship it ›
QualityFlow
Run the quality system and write the ISO 9001 evidence.
Prove it ›Why buying together pays
The same client, the same items and the same instructions run through all three. The rates you froze in RateFlow are the rates you bill against. The instructions you kept in QualityFlow are the ones the floor was given. One vendor, one support inbox, one walkthrough, and no gap between what was sold, what was done and what can be shown.
Why buying one is fine
Already have a WMS you can live with? RateFlow fixes quoting without touching it. Only need the floor run properly? ShipFlow runs alone. Facing an ISO 9001 audit? QualityFlow works with whatever system runs the warehouse. Add the others later, or never.
ShipFlow
The floor runs on phones, and clients stop calling for updates.
Receiving, inventory, orders, picking, pack and ship, billing and reports for every client, each fenced off with a portal of its own.
You stop
- Emailing stock reports to clients who ask twice a day
- Keying purchase orders and packing lists from PDFs
- Buying RF guns and paying for the terminal emulator
- Guessing which lot went to which order
You start
- Clients checking their own orders, stock and invoices in the portal
- PDFs read by AI, checked by a person, created as receipts and orders
- Scan-verified picking, receiving and pack-and-ship on any phone
- Lot, expiry, license plate and unit-level trace on every shipment
RateFlow
Quote from your own rate card and find out when an account drifts.
The quote builder knows what a 3PL sells. The client accepts in a portal. The accepted rates become the record, and your invoices are read against them every month.
You stop
- Editing last year's quote spreadsheet for the next prospect
- Defending a PDF rate sheet line by line
- Finding out two years late that an account outgrew its pricing
You start
- Building quotes from a template of your services and rates
- Clients moving their own volumes and accepting with a typed name
- Quoted versus actual, month by month, with drift flagged
QualityFlow
Quality events take a minute to report. The evidence writes itself.
Frontline staff report what they see with a photo and a few taps. The system decides whether a nonconformance exists. Documents, training, audits and management review live in one place, and every one of them writes ISO 9001 evidence as it happens.
You stop
- Chasing incident reports that never get written
- Assembling audit evidence the week before the auditor arrives
- Arguing about whether a short shipment was your fault or the instruction's
You start
- Reports from the floor in a minute, with no ISO vocabulary
- Readiness by clause, earned from linked documents and evidence
- Execution failures separated from customer-instruction issues, automatically
Built inside a working 3PL. The people who wrote this software receive containers, pick orders and answer to clients every day, and used it to run their own floor first.
3PL TechFlow, California
Built for the work you actually do
If one of these is your week, this was built for you.
B2B distribution
The account ships pallets to one retailer and cases to another from the same stock. Pallet, case, inner pack and each each carry their own barcodes, receipts land against the client's PO, and LTL leaves with a PRO and a printed bill of lading.
DTC and eCommerce
Store orders arrive all day and the client wants tracking back within the hour. Orders come in from Shopify or Walmart, get picked on a phone, the label is bought at the bench, and tracking goes back to the store on its own.
Amazon FBA prep
Case-level outbound work where the box and the count have to be right. Every package records the box scanned, the gross weight and what went in it.
Subscription fulfillment
Hundreds of near-identical orders on the same day each month. Waves built from a label batch or a list of order numbers, picked together, the same way every cycle.
Hazmat inventory
A client's product needs an SDS with every shipment and a certified worker to handle it. Hazmat flags and UN numbers sit on the item, SDS and COA merge into one docs pack, and certifications are tracked per person.
LTL and FTL
Freight class and NMFC on the item, PRO and BOL numbers on the order, and a bill of lading printed from the order record rather than typed again.
Container receiving
Forty feet of mixed cartons against an ASN. Expected receipts by container or ASN reference, counted line by line, damaged stock kept apart, put away by location, with an inbound variance report at the end.
Multi-client 3PL
Every client believes it is your only client. Each one's items, orders, invoices and reports are fenced off at the database, with its own portal users, its own connected channels and its own rate card.
Own it or subscribe
Two ways to buy. Every product under either.
Some operators want the software on their own servers with their own people holding the keys. Others want nothing to run and nothing to upgrade. Both are fine.
Licensed
Own it. Run it on your infrastructure.
A licence to run the software where you choose, with a quarterly maintenance and updates fee. Your servers, your region, your keys.
Full SaaS
We host, run, secure and update it.
A monthly subscription priced per client. No servers, no upgrades, start this month. US-hosted, isolated per client.
Against the legacy WMS
What changes when you leave the system you have now.
The left column is how legacy warehouse systems typically work. Yours may differ in places. The right column is ShipFlow as it runs today.
| Area | Legacy WMS, typically | ShipFlow |
|---|---|---|
| Clients | One database per client, or one client per install | Every client in one system, isolated at the database, each with its own portal login |
| What clients can see | Reports your staff email on request | Their orders, stock, receipts, invoices and reports, live, plus placing orders and connecting their own store |
| Floor devices | Dedicated RF guns on a terminal emulator | Any phone in a browser: scan-verified picking, receiving, moves, pack and ship |
| Sales channels | A connector project quoted per channel | Clients connect Shopify or Walmart from the portal; SFTP, CSV and the API for the rest |
| Documents in | Keyed from PDFs by hand | PO, ASN, BOL and packing-list PDFs read by AI, approved by a person, then created as records |
| Reports | A fixed menu; custom reports billed as work | Twenty-one reports with filters, exported to CSV, Excel or PDF |
| Hosting | A server you maintain, or the vendor's cloud only | Licensed on your own infrastructure, or Full SaaS hosted by us |
| Updates | Version upgrades sold as projects | Quarterly under a licence; as they ship under Full SaaS |
| Pricing | Per seat plus per module | Per client, quoted after a walkthrough |
| Your data | Exported on request | Yours; exported any time through reports, CSV and the API |
FAQ
Questions operators ask
Do I have to buy all three products?
No. RateFlow, ShipFlow and QualityFlow are each sold on their own and each runs without the other two. Buying them together gets you one vendor, one support inbox and one walkthrough, and covers a client from the first quote to the audit evidence.
What is the difference between Licensed and Full SaaS?
Licensed means you buy the software, run it on your own infrastructure and pay a quarterly maintenance and updates fee. Full SaaS means we host, run, secure and update it for a monthly subscription priced per client. Both models are available for every product, alone or bundled.
Which warehouses is ShipFlow built for?
Regional third-party logistics warehouses that ship for several clients at once: B2B pallets and cases, DTC parcels, FBA prep, subscription boxes, hazmat, LTL and FTL, and container receiving. Every client is isolated at the database and gets its own portal login.
Can my clients see their own orders and stock?
Yes. The client portal shows each client only its own orders, inventory, receipts, invoices and reports. Clients can also place orders, upload documents, connect their own store or marketplace and manage their own users.
Which sales channels connect to ShipFlow?
Shopify and Walmart Marketplace connect from the client portal, ShipStation connects for orders and labels, and files arrive by SFTP or CSV. Anything else reaches ShipFlow through the public REST API and signed webhooks. The integrations page lists what flows in and out of each.
Does ShipFlow handle hazmat?
Items carry hazmat flags, UN numbers, freight class and NMFC. Safety data sheets live on the item and certificates of analysis on the lot, and the two merge into one outbound docs pack per order. Hazmat certifications are tracked per worker with expiry dates.
What happens in a walkthrough?
We run your own scenarios through the software on a live call: a receipt, an order, a client logging in to the portal, a quote if RateFlow is in scope. You see the screens your team would use, ask anything, and receive a written quote afterwards.
Who owns the data?
You do, under either model. Under Licensed the data sits on your infrastructure. Under Full SaaS it sits in your isolated tenant and you can export it at any time through reports, CSV and the API, and request a complete export on termination.
How do we move off a legacy WMS or spreadsheets?
Items and inventory arrive by CSV import, receipts and orders by CSV, SFTP, the API or your clients' connected channels, and PDFs of purchase orders and packing lists can be read in by the document intake. We plan the cutover with you during the walkthrough.
