Overview

Your 3PL transactions in NetSuite without manual effort

Companies operating through third-party logistics providers typically manage a daily reconciliation problem. Shipments, invoices, returns, and payments generated in the 3PL system have to get into NetSuite somehow - and without automation, that means manual entry, keying errors, and AR that is always a day behind.

The Archer 3PL Integration connects to your 3PL's SFTP server on a scheduled basis, downloads transaction files, and generates NetSuite records automatically from configurable templates. No custom code required when your 3PL changes file formats - templates are updated through script parameters.

14 transaction types are supported including Sales Orders, Item Fulfillments, Invoices, Credit Memos, Cash Receipts, Customer Payments, Return Authorizations, Chargebacks, and Warehouse Inventory Movement. A real-time dashboard tracks processed records and flags exceptions for AP review.
