Tailored ERP for the
3PL Industry
Trango Tech offers ERP for 3PL industry to streamline multi-client inventory management, warehouses, and fulfillment operations.
Why Generic ERP Fails
Third-Party Logistics Providers
The logistics industry requires a robust, specialized system designed to meet its needs, rather than a generic system that doesn't serve its purpose.
3PL ERP Systems require specialized functionality, including advanced warehouse management technology, logistics, billing, and standardized workflows. The 3PL industry has its own set of requirements that the Generic ERP system doesn't even cater to, resulting in: There is no Multi-Client (Tenant) Architecture for 3PL customers. The system cannot be integrated into Marketplaces. The billing is not in accordance with the 3PL billing structures.
- Hours lost daily reconciling WMS, ERP, and spreadsheets manually
- Billing errors from mismatched activity logs and client rate tables
- No native multi-client inventory segregation — stock bleeds across accounts
- Clients can't self-serve visibility — every status call costs your team time
Inventory Mix-Ups Across Clients
The segregation of inventory is significant for preventing mix-ups across clients that lead to penalties and dissatisfaction.
Billing That Never Balances
Activity-based billing is absent in generic ERP systems, and the billing structure deviates from the standard 3PL billing structure.
Zero Real-Time Client Visibility
The clients cannot check their current inventory systems as you are juggling between multiple reports.
Systems That Break at Scale
The system crashes every time you add a new user, and your growth becomes a problem as you start to experience operational issues.

3PL Operators Who Transformed
Their Operations with Dynamics 365
Have a look at the 3PL operators who are utilizing this magnificent system and what they have to say about Trango Tech.
"We were running 45 client accounts across three warehouses with a WMS that couldn't generate a single consolidated P&L. Billing took 5 days each month and was still wrong."
"The client portal alone saved us 30 hours a week in status calls. Our clients love it — and so does my ops team."
"FDA audits were a nightmare. We tracked temperature zones on paper logs and expiry dates in spreadsheets. One compliance failure would have cost us our biggest client."
"Trango Tech understood our cold chain compliance needs from day one. The FEFO configuration was exactly what we needed — automated and auditable."
"We were processing 400+ EDI transactions a day manually. Chargebacks from Walmart and Target were eating 8% of our revenue. We needed automation or we were done."
"Eliminating chargebacks in year one paid for the entire implementation. Trango Tech delivered exactly what they promised, on schedule."
