WMS Built for Third Party Logistics
Our solution
Your customers count on you to deliver fast, flexible service. But when every client has their own rules, workflows, and SLAs, your WMS can’t slow you down. Footprint® WMS makes it easy to adapt because you can quickly configure labels, billing, inventory logic, and portals by customer. With Datex, 3PLs run smoother, scale faster, and stay ready for whatever comes next.
Billing
Capture Every Charge, Every Time
Automate billing per customer, per SLA, with zero missed touches. Whether it’s storage days, value-added services, or special handling, Datex Footprint WMS records every activity as it happens so your invoicing is fast, accurate, and defensible. Never leave money on the floor again.
