Disconnected systems create errors, delays, and costly mistakes.

Inconsistency and poor visibility make labor more expensive than it should be.

Slow onboarding and inflexible workflows slow your operation down.

One WMS. Different Operational Requirements.

The 3PL WMS That’s Ready for Anything

From inventory guesswork and traceability gaps to faster fulfillment and predictable performance, Footprint® WMS helps warehouses move from reactive to scalable, revenue-driven operations.

Total Inventory Control

Eliminate phantom stock with real-time visibility, precise cycle counts, and system-driven audits.

Unified Order Management

Manage inbound and outbound orders in one platform, reducing errors, returns, and manual work with real-time validation and automated fulfillment rules.

Master Your Data

Ensure clean, auditable master data from day one, eliminating duplicate SKUs and inconsistencies across every owner, project, and location.

A WMS That Works the Way 3PLs Do

Your customers don't operate the same way, so your WMS shouldn't force them into the same workflows. Footprint® WMS helps you manage client-specific processes, billing rules, inventory requirements and visibility from one platform.

Capture more revenue

Automatically bill every service and accessorial; no manual entry, no missed charges.

Run operations smoothly

Manage multi-client complexity with real-time visibility and flexible workflows.

Serve customers better

Provide self-service access and clear communication to reduce emails and calls.

Profit-Driven E-Commerce

E-commerce fulfillment success depends on the metrics that drive speed, cost control, and customer satisfaction. Footprint® WMS delivers on all three.

Measure what matters

Focus on item-level accuracy, speed, and OTIF, not legacy B2B metrics.

Control key costs

Labor, storage, and equipment drive warehouse spend; picking efficiency delivers the fastest impact.

Optimize with precision

Instrument every task, order, and asset to turn data into measurable performance gains.

Run Retail Orders Right the First Time

Footprint® WMS embeds retailer compliance directly into fulfillment, automating labels, ASNs, EDI, and order orchestration to reduce errors, prevent chargebacks, and protect margins.

Built-in compliance

Labels, ASNs, routing rules enforced automatically 

Retail-ready execution

Master orders and cross-dock streamline store replenishment

Margin protection

Fewer errors, fewer refusals, lower chargebacks

Labor unified

Assign, interleave, and track work in the same system, eliminating the need for a separate labor tool.

Production and returns built in

Manage kitting, light assembly, yield tracking, and returns directly against inventory.

Docks connected

Schedule and manage dock appointments in sync with orders, shipments, and warehouse activity.

Integrations

Seamless third-party integrations to keep your entire business connected.

The Platform Built to Adapt

Your operation doesn’t stand still. New customers, workflows, integrations and demands create constant change. Footprint® WMS combines powerful warehouse management capabilities with the tools to configure, connect and extend your WMS as your operation changes.

Explore the platform components that help you manage complexity and adapt to new requirements.

Not All WMS Are Created Equal

Footprint® WMS Delivers. Proud to be recognized once again by Gartner® as a Notable Vendor in the Midmarket Context: Magic Quadrant™ for Warehouse Management Systems.

Choose a WMS for What Your Operation Becomes Next

Your WMS shouldn't only fit the operation you have today. It should give you room to take on new customers, services, requirements and opportunities without making the technology itself the obstacle.

Bringing together deep warehouse functionality and the configurability to adapt as your operation changes, Footprint® WMS is designed for what your operation needs today and what comes next.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a 3PL WMS handle billing for different clients and services?

How does a WMS help with FSMA compliance?

A WMS is crucial for FSMA compliance because it automates preventative controls. It provides end-to-end traceability of every lot, monitors temperatures in real time to prevent excursions, enforces proper handling procedures (such as FIFO/FEFO), and maintains detailed, unalterable electronic records that serve as proof of compliance during an FDA inspection or audit.

Footprint® WMS is built for cold storage operations, delivering lot-level traceability, temperature monitoring at critical control points, and comprehensive audit controls to meet FSMA, USDA, and third-party standards. Every item is tracked by lot, expiration, and storage condition to protect compliance and product integrity.

How does a WMS improve 3PL profitability?

A modern WMS improves profitability by capturing all billable services to prevent revenue leakage, optimizing labor utilization, increasing inventory accuracy to reduce carrying costs, and improving overall operational efficiency. This enables 3PLs to process more volume with greater order accuracy and fewer errors.

Built for real 3PL operations, Footprint® WMS supports multi-tenant environments with tools that capture every billable service, streamline complex workflows, and provide real-time customer visibility, helping increase revenue, improve efficiency, and elevate service.

What are the biggest cybersecurity threats in a modern warehouse?

The most significant cybersecurity threats in modern warehouses include ransomware attacks that disrupt operations, data breaches through insecure APIs connecting WMS and partner systems, phishing attacks targeting employees, and vulnerabilities in IoT devices and robotics that can cause operational or physical disruption.

For 3PLs and regulated warehouses, compliance and security are mission-critical. Footprint® WMS protects your data and operations with a multi-layered security approach, validated system integrity controls, and complete audit trails with change tracking to ensure reliability, traceability, and accountability across your environment.

Who needs to comply with DSCSA?

All authorized trading partners in the U.S. pharmaceutical supply chain must comply with DSCSA. This includes manufacturers, repackagers, wholesale distributors, 3PL providers, and dispensers such as pharmacies and hospitals.

For 3PLs and regulated warehouses, compliance requires full lot and serial traceability, transaction documentation, and secure recordkeeping. Footprint® WMS supports these requirements with complete lot, serial, and batch visibility from receipt through shipment, along with audit-ready traceability aligned with DSCSA, FDA, cGMP, and 21 CFR Part 11 standards.

What is an LCAP in a WMS?

An LCAP (Low-Code Application Platform) within a WMS allows warehouse operators to configure workflows, screens, rules, and integrations without heavy custom development. Instead of relying on custom code for every change, teams can adapt processes quickly using visual tools and reusable components.

Footprint® WMS includes built-in low-code capabilities that let operators tailor workflows, billing logic, and user interfaces to meet client-specific needs, reducing IT dependency and accelerating change.
