3PL Software

3PL software for logistics providers running every service line on one platform

3PLs running forwarding, customs, container management, and accounting side by side get all four on one platform instead of a stack of disconnected point tools — one shipment record, entered once, used everywhere.

Platform, Not a Stack

The Challenge

One provider, four service lines, and no single system tying them together

A 3PL running forwarding, customs, container management, and accounting side by side usually stitches them together from separate systems — re-keying the same shipment and client data into each one and losing time at every handoff.

Expedient runs all four — forwarding, customs, container and rail, and accounting — on one platform, so a shipment's data is entered once and flows straight through every service line automatically.

Multi-Modal Forwarding (Air & Sea)

Manage air and sea export and import bookings, documentation, and milestone tracking in one workflow — so forwarding staff work from a single shipment record instead of switching between separate booking and tracking tools for each mode.

Customs Clearance (AU & NZ)

Process customs clearance for both Australian and New Zealand shipments without leaving the platform — clearance data flows straight from the forwarding record instead of being re-entered into a separate customs package.

Container & Rail Management

Track containers and rail movements alongside the forwarding and customs record for the same shipment, so operations staff always know where a container sits without checking a separate container-tracking system.

Accounting & Finance

Run general ledger, accounts payable and receivable, and banking on the same platform as operations — invoices and costs are drawn straight from shipment data instead of re-keyed into a separate accounting package.

EDI Integration

Exchange shipment and customs data electronically with carriers, agents, and government systems through built-in EDI, including a direct customs bridge — no manual re-entry between the platform and outside systems.

Partner Portal

Give your customers, agents, and transport providers self-service visibility into shipment status through a partner portal connected to live operational data — fewer status calls and emails for your operations team to answer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Expedient's 3PL software cover?

It covers the full service range a multi-service logistics provider runs — air and sea forwarding, AU and NZ customs clearance, container and rail management, and accounting, all on one platform. Because every service line shares the same shipment and client data, a 3PL doesn't need to reconcile bookings, clearance records, container status, and invoices across separate systems — everything is entered once and reused across every team.

Can Expedient handle a 3PL that offers forwarding, customs, and container management together?

Yes — that's the platform's core design. A shipment record created at booking carries through to customs clearance, container and rail tracking, and the resulting invoice, without re-entering shipment or client details at each stage. For a 3PL running all three service lines under one roof, that means one system for operations to work from instead of three separate ones bridged manually.

Does Expedient support both Australian and New Zealand operations for a 3PL?

Yes. Expedient covers customs clearance and forwarding workflows for both Australia and New Zealand within the same platform, so a 3PL serving both markets runs one system rather than a separate tool per country. Shipment, customs, container, and accounting data stay consistent across both markets and every service line, instead of living in disconnected regional setups that duplicate the same client and shipment details twice.

How does Expedient's EDI integration fit into a multi-service 3PL operation?

EDI runs across the same platform as forwarding, customs, container management, and accounting, so shipment and clearance data exchanged electronically with carriers, agents, and government systems — including a direct customs bridge — flows straight into the same shipment record every other service line in the business already uses, rather than landing in a separate integration tool your team has to reconcile by hand.
