Extensiv Network Manager is a cloud-based software platform designed to help third-party logistics (3PL) providers build, manage, and operate collaborative distributed fulfillment networks, effectively functioning as a fourth-party logistics (4PL) solution. The platform enables 3PLs to partner with other 3PLs, allowing brands to distribute inventory across multiple geographically dispersed warehouses and ship from the most optimal location. Network Manager provides a unified interface for real-time visibility into inventory and transactions across all networked warehouses, advanced order management and routing, and seamless integration with shopping carts, ERPs, and marketplaces. It supports logic-based order routing, automated order splitting, and network-wide dashboards for instant accountability. The system is designed to reduce operational costs, improve fulfillment speed and accuracy, and enable even single-warehouse 3PLs to compete with larger fulfillment networks. Administrators can monitor the entire network, while warehouse operators continue using their existing WMS, ensuring operational consistency and scalability.
