3PL Cold Storage
Built for Cold. Ready for Complexity.
Datex Footprint® WMS is a secure, cloud-native system for multi-client cold storage 3PLs that handles temperature capture, lot recalls and automated billing with ease so you can improve your margins.
Cold Storage Is Complicated. Your WMS Shouldn’t Be.
Every cold storage 3PL manages constant change; new clients, strict SLAs, inspections, recalls, and razor-thin margins.
