Several types of third-party logistics (3PL) providers exist, like broker, freight forwarder, warehouse 3PLs, and enterprise 3PLs. EDI studio supports EDI message exchange with the warehouse 3PL type of providers.

Your company can use a 3PL warehouse to:

• Ship products that your company, as the seller of these products, has sold to your customers.
• Receive products that your company, as the buyer of these products, has purchased from your vendors.
• Store your inventory.

Your company can use EDI messages to exchange data with its 3PL warehouses.

This section explains the warehouse 3PL EDI messages that are supported by EDI studio.

In EDI studio, your company is at the center. So, in EDI studio, you set up and use the 3PL EDI messages that your company sends to or receives from a 3PL warehouse.
